Windows 8/Montioring Tool

**RhysJD3** · 11-15-13, 03:51 PM

So I have Windows 8.1 installed using an Asus P8Z77-V motherboard. Their Asus Suite II utility for overclocking and monitoring doesn't really work with 8.1. Does anyone have any recommendations for something that I can control the fan speeds on my MOBO with that also may also tweaking my CPU/OC capabilities?

Just OC from the Asus Bios. I remember it being easy from the board I had. You might try Evga Precision or MSI Afterburner.

Yeah but I like the monitoring tools in windows

Msi afterburner for GPU oc and fan speed.

Speedfan maybe for cpu, but for cpu overclocking in windows? ... Hmmm

I use "Core Temp" (currently on version 1.0 RC5) for monitoring cpu core temps on all my computers. (works with win 8.1)
I use MSI Afterburner to monitor gpu temps (nvidia) in windows and to control its fan. (overclocking as well, but thats a whole different ball game)

As far as overclocking motherboards inside windows..... I wouldn't do it, and as I don't do it I do not have any recomended software. I generally find included utilities with mobos to be sucky.....

This will crash BF4.

EVGA Precision will crash it or MSI Afterburner or both. Or did you mean overclocking?

If EVGA Precision does it, that would explain ALOT of my crashing...

Are you ocing your gpus? Is it a static over clock, or do you have some form of adaptive or dynamic over clocking on (the over clock amount changes based on some factor or variable)?

Actually wasn't overclocking the GPU unless that's a native function of EVGA Precision. Just had it loaded and running to watch the voltage and temps.
