Could anyone recommend a good bit of software for monitoring CPU Temp, GPU temps, HDD Temps (using S.M.A.R.T) and Fan Speeds. Ive had a quick google and there seems to be loads of different ones. I just want something thats quick and simple to use. Preferably one which would allow me to control Fan Speeds too.

I'm using open hardware monitor as it can install a desktop gadget with real time temps etc. Was using HW monitor but had a few miss reads such as fan speed of 40000rpm and 150c temps etc.
That looks good mate, does it give you control of fan speeds, or does it just show their speeds?

this just shows their speed. Are you talking about case fans? are they pwm fans? Speedfan is supposed to control fan speed but it never worked for me. does gigabite have a program to download to control them like asus ai suite?
Ok cheers, think I will still have a go with Open Hardware Monitor. Yeah, gigabite do have some software which came with the board, but its not very nice, too much stuff in it which I dont really need. Will give SpeedFan a try too.
Thanks again.

I just use PC Wizard on the odd occasion when I care to check. It also far more detailed than a simple hardware sensor monitor, covering system hardware in rather explicit detail.
