![]() Monitoring temperatures for AMD processors has long puzzled computer enthusiasts. Unlike most Intel processors, AMD machines will report two temperatures: "CPU Temperature" and "Core Temperature." We recommend the "highest temperature" (instead of "all cores", which will show multiple icons.) You can also customize the font and colors here. Notification Area > Notification Area Icons: This allows you to customize how Core Temp appears in your notification area (or system tray, as it's commonly called.) You can choose to display just the app's icon or display the temperature of your CPU.Display > Hide Taskbar Button: Again, if you're going to leave it running all the time, this is good to turn on so it doesn't waste space on your taskbar.Display > Start Core Temp minimized: You'll probably want to turn this on if you have "Start Core Temp with Windows" on.But if you only need the app occasionally, it's okay to turn this off. Turning it on will allow you to monitor your temperatures at all times without having to remember to start it up. General > Start Core Temp with Windows: You can turn this on or off it's up to you.Here are a few settings we recommend looking at: To configure some of Core Temp's more useful features, head to Options > Settings. Max value is very important, as it ensures you're getting the correct temperature readings for your CPU. Every processor is a little different, and having an accurate Tj. To double-check, note the model name and number of your processor displayed under "Processor Information" in the Core Temp window and search for its maximum temperature online. ![]() I also tried to run it on Windows 7 Pro but failed.For most modern CPUs, Core Temp should be able to detect the Tj. It worked flawlessly on the former but was quite buggy on the latter though. I tested it on both Windows 10 Creators Update build 1509. The site doesn’t state clearly on the website which Windows versions are supported. Overall, XMeters is a small free monitoring tool that could be handy with real-time usage stats. So if you find it’s too much info getting in your way and gets you distracted, you can uncheck the categories in XMeters settings panel to close them. ![]() It’s hard to terminate the tool once it’s launched since it’s displayed on the taskbar. A right-click will open the tool’s Settings panel for customization. Left-clicking any of the stats module on the taskbar opens the Windows Task Manager. You can even reorder the meters by simply dragging and dropping the tab items. If you would like to see more frequently updated stats on your taskbar you will need to upgrade to the Pro version which costs $4.99. 3 seconds is the most frequent update interval you can set up with the free version. The Refresh Rate slider lets you adjust how often you want the usage stats to be updated. By default, both options “Show Individual Cores” and “Separate User/Privileged Utilization” are enabled. ![]() For example, in CPU, you can select one of the three predefined graph types, Bar, Pie, or Text, change the color, and choose whether or not to display individual cores. For each of the category, you can change the color, the type of graph, and the Refresh rate. But you can disable/enable each of them by checking the check box for each category. The tool will then add the CPU, Storage, Network and Memory usage stats onto the taskbar by default. When you run XMeters the first time, it asks whether you want the toolbar shown on the taskbar. It monitors CPU, Storage, Network, and Memory stats in real-time and displays them on the taskbar to give you an overview of your most important system information at all time without getting in your way.ĭownload the tool from its website and install it. XMeters is a lightweight free system monitoring tool that displays system resource usage right on the Windows taskbar. ![]()
