    Can anyone recommend me a simple lightweight but accurate temperature software for my GPU and CPU?
    Thx in advance.

    Yep, I second HWinfo64... great program and free! I use it all the time and have for years. Additionally, with RTSS added you can have any temp/stat you want on screem while gaming.

    It will monitor and show tons of info, but you can also set it up to just show the sensors you would like on startup to keep it very simple.

    HWInfo64 for both monitoring and fan table control.

    RealTemp is also a very good alternative. I have been using it for a long time and it monitors both CPU and GPU. It can work as minimized on startup and it also shows you the minimum and maximum temperature's times for both CPU and GPU which I find useful. I recommend it.

    For in game temps I recommend MSI Afterburner.

    Clevos don't own fan table control. It's FN + 1 or auto
