CPU Temp Monitoring Software Recommendations?

For the past who knows how long I had been using CoreTemp to monitor my CPU temps, though I've heard some shitty things about it recently and have been looking for a different one to use. (I haven't installed it since I switched back to win 7 from win 10)

 

System specs are in my sig.

Mainly stuff about it installing shit without giving the option to opt out when installing core temp and changing homepages and such..

I prefer 7 to 10, and I have plenty of reasons as to why I do. (I just don't feel like listing em off :P)

I've heard of it happening even when people download it from coretemp's website :/

 

And chrome doesn't even want to let me go to their website because "Harmful content was detected"

Main reason is all the spying and shit going on with it, some of which has no way to opt out.

Then there's the crap that M$ installs with MSX (win 10) that cannot be removed, the PC settings and Control panel having some duplicate settings, then some things are just linked back and forth between the two, I don't like the new start menu nearly as much as I liked windows 7's start menu, I had a significant amount of issues with explorer.exe basically fucking itself, making it so it still is there visually, but it doesn't function at all...

I'm sure there are more reasons that I can't think of right now lol

 

So pretty much its just my preferences on stuff and a few bugs.

Well the spying is inevitable, even win 7/8 had update for spying...

From what i saw, the start menua looks fantastic, the combo of metro and clasic start is appealing to me.

Bugs will get fixed (at least thats what we think).

Thank tou for sharing your experience. So far it looks like im gonna upgrade (clean install) to win 10 by the end of the month.

Seriously people. Can't anyone ask about software for Win7 without it being turned to Win7 vs Win10 discussion?

On topic. I use OpenHardwareMonitor as daily software. I have RealTemp for benchmarking and overclocking because its easier to check. With previous install I had fully configured HWiNFO.

I went through all the updates myself and removed any that had anything to do with telemetry and such :P

 

Also removed any tasks that would be sending shit to M$, so hopefully there's not much stalking going on...

If you take the time to learn it Speed Fan is a great resource. Even shows SMART status, CPU Core utilization, Speeds, Temps, and if you set it up properly you can control your fans as well.

 

I use it daily, it is always open on my 3rd "resource" monitor

Thanks!

Well, its also derailing and against CoC.

Btw, can vouch for Speedfan too. Needs tons of configuration but when done, works great.
