+1, a bit intimitating at first, but it can do all you want, to control the speed of fans(if they are pwm), to make noise or shut down you computer if themps get betwen a range.

Yeah, I searched many till I found it. I absolutely love the portable aspect and the fact you can hide as many rows as you can to customise the monitor.

I use it on my overheating laptop, it's very useful function to fix max temperature of device

It depends, I've used them all at one point or another and occasionally still do but my usual free fallback is HWMonitor.
Just going by what is mentioned here so far:
Speedfan's sensor readings haven't always proved as reliable for me. Aida64 (formerly Everest) costs money if you want all the whistles and bells which aren't required unless you're trying to get to the root of a specific problem. And most other things show less info than HWMonitor (especially the min max readings over time usually aren't present).

for monitoring at will:
Core Temp (+Desktop-Widget)
GPU Monitor (D-Widget only)
to view more details at will:
CPU-Z, GPU-Z
HWMonitor

Downloaded HWInfo, it's really useful. Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll keep this open for the ones to come with the same quest :P

Haven't really checked the temperature of any components back when I had a laptop, but I think I should do it with a custom built PC. However, I've never really used any software for that, so I was wondering, what do you guys use?
