Overclocking tool

As googling brought up a plethora of options i was wondering if anyone here could recomend something?

One that does GPU and CPU temp and can overclock my Gpu aswell would be good.

Cheers in advance.

I take it you have a nvidia card?
If so, for temps and OC's, you can use either of these..
EVGA Precision
Rivatuner

CPU temps:
Speedfan
PC Wizard

Coretemp is my fave and works really good for monitoring Temps and Processor speed, VID and load per core.

Download CoreTemp 0.99.3

I wasn't sure about Coretemp, and if it would work on a AMD CPU. Never tried it before. I always used speedfan for AMD's.
But I would use CoreTemp over any other app if it actually works for AMD's.

Core temp is ace and works just fine with my 4800+. Both cores temperatures in my tray telling me what's going on

Although i do find it odd that there is a difference between CPU cores temperature..

there will be, if one is being used more than the other, then naturally one is going to get hotter than the other.

^Yep. At some points my Quad will be up to 10° different at times. It all depends on the chip..

Just didn't think they would be far enough away from each other to be that difference is temperature.
