System Tools, what do you like?

Just wondering what are some useful system tools. Currently I'm using Asus Probe II to monitor Temps, Fan RPM..etc, and CPUz.

Are there any other tools out there you guys like or recommend that people should use?

You're asking for system monitoring utilities, right?

I don't use any so can't help you with this.

What kind of things are you looking to do?

Once I see everything is a-ok I don't watch the temps and what not on a regular basis.

Wasn't looking for anything specific about cooling or anything. It could be simple Wifi signal strength app. A monitor of some kind, what ever just those little software gems everyone has that know one knows about.

I use Probe II as well. The only thing I don't like...is the coloring. I'm tempted to whack it though, because I just don't use it anymore. I close it all the time at startup.

I guess the only time I liked seeing it around was during the winter. I'd leave the window in the office open, start up my computer, and get it running fully loaded, and it'd be at 24 degrees celcius. That was a good time...in the summer, when it is 44 at idle, it's just depressing, comparatively.

Since I don't overclock at all, I don't have the need to look at the temps any more.
