    Temperature measurement and Wattage usage

    I just picked up my new PC and now I wonder how to carry out all that measurements. What is the best tool for measuring the temperature? This is because of a number, and there seems a lot of variation to it.

    Is there also a program that measures how many watts your PSU gives?

    Speedfan is a small programme that can read temperatures.
    Everest is also sophisticated.

    About Watt usage ... it needs a motherboard that supports such equipment, but mostly gets your computer hanging.

    What kind of processor you have? As some programs are not good in reading the latest processors.

    Try core temp. Http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
    Wattage can be determined with a power meter, the most easy to be found. Are not terribly precise, but a good indication.
