drnip do you have just links to the proggies instead of the files? I tried to make my links as to where it goes to the website? I did this so I don't have to keep going back and updating this whenever a new version comes out.

A simple pinout for testing your psu. I prefer to do this under a load like linpack or memtest.

I use HWMonitor instead of coretemp/realtemp/everest anymore. Nice and small and you can get it the same place you grab CPUz Monitors temps AND voltages of mobo, CPU, PSU video cards and just temps on harddrive


For DAAMIT users

AMD Overdrive, and I see lots of sickos running k10stat.

Software voltage monitors are unreliable, hwmonitor is great for the temps it displays and a few of it's voltage readings as long as the volt readings aren't very important.
