looking for overclocking monitoring software reccomendations.

[bradyapba]

So i have my i7/920 gaming system up and running.

2.66 processor.

6 gigs ocz ram.

asrock mobo

ati 5850

So now i want to monitor temps for stock for a bit, then OC.

Been out of the loop for a while.

What are the good temp monitoring software for the CPU and GPU these days.

And good ones where i can monitor the temps while gaming?

And what about overclock testing?

Is it still prime 95? Memtest96, and ati tool?

Any points in the right direction on what software to use to monitor temps, and properly test the overclock, would be great.

thanks!
