what program do I need?

[Tuanie]

I'm currently install windows on my very first build. While I wait, I just want to ask you guys what useful  program would I need for my computer? 
To check temperature, fan speed, ect and other stuff. thank you  

also, I have a Radeon Sapphire 270x Toxic... Do I need any program to OC it or anything?

You can get the Trixx utility. You could also get MSI Afterburner.

I would recommend getting RealTemp if you have an Intel CPU and CoreTemp if you are using AMD. These will show you the CPU temperature. For fan speeds you can use SpeedFan. For overclocking the GPU I recommend MSi Afterburner.

 

Some other usefull utilities would be CPU-Z and GPU-Z

Or get HWMonitor. Gives all the data. And instal Rainmeter, so it will look badass

I would recommend updating to the latest stable driver from AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64

You always need drivers for your hardware.. 

 

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64

 

This is the link to AMD's graphics driver. You can use either 13.12 or 14.1 beta, depending on your preference.. (generally I go with the latest beta driver)

 

Edit:

Aaaaaaaaand I get ninja'd by Volbet..

MSI Afterburner and HWMonitor are great programs for monitoring cpu and gpu temps as well as fan speeds and cpu voltages (HWMonitor).

Speccy and HWMonitor have been my go-to for a while now.
