Best Temperature Gauge?

[Nikolai]

Hey Guys,
building my rig i was wondering if any of you had suggestions for a good temperature gauge that would monitor the temperature of various things inside my case .... any suggestions?

Thanks very much !

Speed fan is a good general purpose app.

I personally use Core temp to monitor my CPU, and RviaTuner to monitor my graphics card, but you have an ATI card, so I'd recommend ATI Tool

I just use the BIOS, found it was more accurate then the drive bay monitor I was using. For inside Windows, I use Speedfan and Rivatuner like Capper suggested above.

I would recommend CoreTemps for the CPU also.

BTW, you can also use ATITool to monitor nVidia temps too.

Coretemp or Speedfan for CPU temperatures. If you're using Vista and it won't let you run core temp, press f8 during the bootloader and select disable driver signing.

As Capper mentioned, I would prefer CoreTemp for processors and either RivaTuner or ATI Tool for video cards. SpeedFan will also monitor temperatures of some hard drives too.

If you want to get an external temperature probe and place it wherever you want, Performance PC's and Jab-Tech has a good selection.

who knows what hardware i could use to get accurate temps on internal components;
cpu, gpu, psu, nb, etc.
and
is there a multimeter with temp capabilitues
that might do the trick?
