What is best temperature/fan monitor for AA-R5
I saw some other references to the "thermal controller" but not sure if they apply since I have a basic question on what is the best app to use to monitor the temperature and fan activity for my Win10 Pro-based Alienware-Aurora R5 I bought from Best Buy last spring.
Similarly, looking for reference to know what temps are ok for my machine ...these are recent readings from the thermal controller widget:
CPU sensor 34 degrees C
Ambient Sensor 62 degrees C
GPU Sensor #1 44 degrees C
...and these are the Fan readings
CPU cooler 906 rpm
Front Fan 434 rpm
TOP fan 438 rpm
GPU fan#1 29%
All thoughts will be appreciated ... TGH

Hi TerryGH,
This one is a good one and it also has a PRO version:

Thanks A-Eimy ...
After downloading HWmonitor it looks familiar to a tool I had for my previous Win7 machine -- lots of data obliviously but above my tech knowledge. I looked at the specs for the pro version and that seems to have some other tools that I don't need ala remote monitoring vs. something that will alert me when the temps are too high or a fan is failing, that type of thing.
I've also done a web search to find what range the temps / fan speeds should be but no luck in finding something useful -- any thoughts?
Thanks again ... TGH
