MSI Afterburner - how to monitor?

[Guest Console Peasant]

I have one monitor open but it doesnt display enough info about the system like I can't fit all 4 cores temps, usage, and gpu temps and usage into one graph, is there a way to open multiple instances? I usually have it on my second monitor..

 

I used to use hwinfo which was amazing but to complicated and half of the stuff it displays was useless to me..

 

Any alternatives? Also what else should I do to see how my pc is going after a good long while?

GPU-Z is good for monitoring GPU load and temps. You can set it to record the current, average, max and min of a variety of stats. 

 

Realtemp is fairly simple for monitoring CPU temps.

You can use GPUz instead for GPU monitoring.

I use task manager for CPU, next to afterburner for GPU.

For GPU-Z:

Click on the GPU icon which is at the top left of the window and and then click Load on Windows Startup

You can resize graph area for Afterburner like any other software. Or you can double click it and separate it from main window and resize then. Also worth mentioning is that you can enable/disable sensors you want to see.
