Cooling monitor

Hi there.
I was wondering if there was any program out there that can
monitor all heat sensors in my pc at once?

I've found some, but not with what I have in mind.

What I need is a program that can monitor live time and
display it in decimal and graphical, along with be able to compare
it to previous monitoring.

I'm using it to find out how I can lower my PC case heat, along with
all hardware in it.
I'm currently using Sensorview Pro, it kinda satisfies my need but, I need
the compare mode.

So far what I've detected is that after I removed my case side cover, the GPU heat was 56c and when I put the cover back on the GPU raised to 58c.
Wich is strange to me as I thought the reason for the cover was to make
a certain air movement in the tower and make it cooler.

Any advices?

 

I forgot to post the specs along with it.

Case: Ace special edition
Motherboard: MSI K9N SLI Platinum (ms-7250)
CPU: Dualcore AMD Athlon 64x2, 2200MHz (11 x 200) 4200+
RAM: 3x 1GB corsair Value Select VS1GB667D2
GPU: MSI N260GTX (MS-v177) 896MB
HDD: WDC WD360GD (system disk)
WDC WD3200AAKS
WDC WD2500KS
Power Supply: Tagan BZ series 500W
Fans: 1 in front (in suction) of case for HDD's and
1 in back (out suction) below the PCU
Monitors: Running a dual setup

 

I personally would not worry about a 2C shift in CPU temps though I do find that 56C is too high if that's when nothing is going on like gaming. Is that the stock AMD heatsink you have on the CPU?

You could try OCCT to put your machine through its paces and will give you a graphs at the end of an hour or however long you want to run it. It will stress your machine to its fullest!

 

thanks guys for the responses, I appreciate them.

I'm not really happy about my case being open and letting a fan blow into it,
as it would just accumulate more dust into the case. I'll have to find a alternate way to cool it down.

Actually it was my GPU not my CPU @ 56, it's now @ 60 and just using the chrome and firefox and winamp, anyway...
yes i'm using my stock heat sink, was gonna buy a better heat sink when I had the cash for it.
(I have a good heatsink with cooling pipes from a wrecked Medion PC on my
floor, altough it's not designed for my CPU in my best Knowlegde, altough I might be able to hack :major it and make it fit mine, just have to take a look at that)

My current CPU is like this.
Motherboard: 42c
CPU: 38c
Core 1: 32c
Core 2: 37c

I will DL the OCCT later today and check it out.

All ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

 

Sorry for the mix-up, just saw that you did say GPU, bad eyes. Your CPU temps are just fine for idle, that's about where my X2 3800+ sat at idle but that was with a single core rated AMD heat sink..

As to your GPU temps, it seems just fine by me, Here's my eVGA GTX260-216 stats with it being pushed by %10 on the shader clock and being used %100, just like or more than intense gaming/OCCT. GPU's are built to withstand the heat. I think you're just fine on the heat index.

 

hi and thanks.
I'm mostly annoyed over that the heat in the tower raised after i put the cover back on. There must be someway to lower the heat with out a purchase of any items.

Well it's good that my cpu and GPU are in soso ok heat stage, but I want to lower it more :-D
Any ideas regarding that?
And my PC room is getting awfully hot with the computers on, even with a 15" fan blowing full speed lol

 

Don't know how your computer is set up, but I like to use some cable management to increase the air flow. A good cleaning of the heatsinks is always a good thing too. If by removing the side panel, your computer is cooler, you need better air flow. Add a case fan, clean the dust out, make sure your fan are placed in the best position.

Here is one example:
