Unigine Heaven 4.0 works well for testing. I run AI tools but CPU-Z shows temperatures (probably). Without a hardware monitor it's unclear. GPU temps vary a lot. I stick with card manufacturers' guides. I own an EVGA card so I use Precision X. It lets me tweak overclock settings, power caps, voltage, fan speeds, and monitor temps.
I’ve checked the CPUID information using the Prime 95 monitor. It’s a good idea to run a memory test with Memtest86 on your 86dX86 or Furmark Kombustor system. This helps ensure your HDD or SSD isn’t storing errors. Just started this process recently, and it’s helping confirm everything is running smoothly.
Rainmeter with MSI afterburner for GPU and CPU temperature tracking, showing CPU heat levels.
I keep the Windows Task Manager, CPU-Z, and Afterburner running all the time.
