i have 2 gpu an integrated intel and gtx 1050, im only seeing gpu1 temp and not gpu2 temp, i have gpu 1 and 2 usage though. ideally trying to monitor temp of the gtx and i think gpu1 is the intel

[@mikeymyke]

I'm getting a "Some components cannot be hooked error message" and the FPS display won't show, got a fix?

[@AyzekUorren]

You don't need to change the group name to a specific card. Just use: for GPU -> %GPU% for CPU -> %CPU% And program automatically will change your GPU/CPU name to your card.

[@bkech81]

Good video man thank you, I just bought a new RTX 30 series GPU. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. But doesn't both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards both come with software that does the exact same thing with all the same features, that's actually mandatory software for anyone using dedicated GPUs because it's responsible for downloading and updating your Graphics Drivers for correct and proper performance? Like the software that comes custom made to your exact model GPU by default. I think Nvidia has something called the Nvidia Experience, which is on all machines with Nvidia GPUs and for AMD it's called the Catalyst Control Center (AMD CCC), I believe they have all the exact same features and are specifically tailored to your model. And it works on every game that your card is compatible with, so it basically always works. I'm pretty new to PC gaming so that's why I am asking, is this software just that far superior that it's worth loading a 3rd party program that you have to customize to your hardware? Or do you find this software to be more accurate and easier to use than the preinstalled software that Nvidia and AMD cards come with?

If there ever was anyone confused like me, msi after burner display the core 1 or 0 temperature, the first core temeprature which can be 10% or 15% hotter, not the average temeprature of the cpu as a whole. So, for example you can have 60c temperateure but you will see msi after burner display like 75c-80c. best cpe temeprature displayer is speccy
