I'm looking for some software suggestions to see the temperature of my CPU, GPU, and SSDs. My current tool is HWMonitor, but it feels a bit difficult to use.

Did you check this? Here is how to use HWINFO to watch sensor numbers. Go to the Ryzen download page and click "HWINFO" there. When you open it for the first time, tick the box that says "show sensors only," then hit run in the next window. On the right side at the bottom, click the gear icon to open settings. Move your mouse over the General tab, under the section called polling period, and change it to 500, then hit the set button. You can find more info on forums. if you want icons to appear in the toolbar or charts to track specific temperatures using HWINFO. Maybe add it to apps that show temps for your desktop. I am just a normal person who does simple things. I used tips from the video so I can see the CPU, GPU, and HDD temps all at once when they are running in the system tray.

Did you check this? Here is how to use HWINFO to look at Sensor values on your Ryzen computer. When you open the app, make sure you click the little tick box that says "show sensors only" and then press the run button. After that, find the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the window. Clicking it opens a settings menu. On the General tab, look for the polling period setting and change it to 500. Then press the set button. You can also visit forums. to learn how to add special icons or charts to your toolbar or graphs so you can track specific temps easily. I am just a normal person who likes to do simple things. In the video tips, they show me how to see CPU, GPU, and HDD temperatures all at once in the system tray right on my screen.

It probably has its own separate spot, but I think the card is set up as PCIEX16_1 and that's what it would use if you didn't see anything else. That card is going to be a sensor on your motherboard now that I've looked at mine.
