Monitoring CPU temperature/voltages

[APillowOfClouds]

Does anyone out there have a shareware/freeware program they can reccomend to do some hardware monitoring? I would like something that someone has been using for a while so that I know I'm not just downloading a piece of malware. Basically I've had a few random bluescreens and since I'm running a quad core I want to eliminate cooling/power issues first.

Thanks

I used to be a diehard Motherboard Monitor aficionado, until the author stopped updating it a few years back. Now I just use the (somewhat lame) ASUS PC Probe utility that came with my motherboard.

Check your motherboard's driver CD (if you can find it). There may be a similar utility on there.

SpeedFan is good for just monitoring but to really test our your system I recommend a nice CPU burn in tool like OCCT. Its what I used to kick the tires on my quad core system

k I will check out speedfan, meanwhile I found AMD OverDrive on the mobo CD and here's what I got - I've been trying to google and make sense of the numbers but I haven't had much luck - maybe someone smarter than me can help?
