I usually choose 7zip over WinRAR, use Cleaner for cleanup, and think about trying OpenHardwareMonitor for temperature tracking. I might also look into a rainmeter device to connect with it (there are many options out there). Here’s my rainmeter setup on the second screen, providing detailed data while I configure games.

CPU-z, GPU-z I also enjoy cam, especially for graphs—valley benchmarks are great for testing with overlooks. It’s convenient and repetitive, which makes it useful as a comparison tool. The other users mentioned they like Ms security essentials too, and tree size is helpful. Have fun with your new setup!

Steam for the Gaben means offering or giving something valuable in return.

Download all the necessary tools and they will set them up for you. Use ninite to install 7-Zip, Audacity, Avast, MalwareBytes, VLC, and Firefox. For Windows 8.1 or 8 users who prefer an alternative, ninite also offers a Classic Start option.

Explore Ninite for a one-stop collection of programs. You won’t find this site often, but it saves a lot of time when installing new devices for me.
