HUello everybody, I'm interested in a reliable program that monitors the temps of both the CPU and the CPU. Also, what are safe temperatll me how to use aftereures for both the graphics card and the processor? Also, does anyone know if the fans in the Antec Nine Hundred Two will suffice for my current specs?

I love everest. (but as you said it's not free :( ) I use it and my g15 keyboard to monitor temps and gpu/cpu usage in game. Evga and now MSI both have tools to display those stats on screen but I could never get those to work. Hardware Monitor is a very good program, but you can't monitor temps in game with it.

I would head on over to guru3d and see the tool they have to display temps while in game, I think if you could get it to work it would be very useful

What are safe temps for the GPU and CPU to run at (safe range)?

I am not sure about the amd x6 they have the max operating temp listed on amd's website. Try looking there.

I do know that the max operating temperature of a GTX 480 is 105c though most like to keep it lower than that. If it goes above 105c the card will start to reduce clock speed to reduce temps and you'll get a performance hit. The only program I've seen that really heats up video cards is furmark. Not sure if regular games go that high. In FFXIV my GPU usage was 99% and in an SLI'ed system the higest temp I've seen was 87C. If you SLI these cards, they WILL get to max temp alot faster in furmark and you need to seperate them if you have 3x PCI16 slots for better temps in case you have an SLI board and decide to get a second one down the line.
