Hello! I understand you're looking for ways to track your GPU temperature without MSI Afterburner. There are several alternatives you might consider. You could explore built-in system tools like Task Manager or GPU-Z, which provide real-time monitoring and can be set up to run automatically at startup. Another option is using third-party applications such as HWMonitor or Core Temp, which offer similar functionality with customizable settings. If you prefer something lightweight, you might try monitoring through the game's own settings menu or using a simple script that logs temperatures after each session. Let me know if you'd like more details on any of these!
HWMONITOR is reliable and open-source, capturing the lowest, highest, and present temperatures of nearly all PC components, such as the GPU. Note that you can't configure it to activate at startup within the program, but it remains a free option worth considering. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
Thanks for the update! That option seems promising beyond just basic stats. I’ll check out Open Hardware Monitor’s logging capabilities and spreadsheet export. Once I have more details, I’ll revise this post accordingly. Also, after testing Open HW Monitor, I found it offers logging plus graphs—no overlays, but that works for me. It launches on startup, which is a nice feature. That’s the plan now.
