Best Programs for Windows 8 CPU and GPU Monitoring

[hotwheelz07]

Hello,

I have windows 8 x64 bit edition with a i7 3770k intel processor and a sapphire radeon hd 7970 OC. I am looking for a good gpu and cpu monitor that works good. I want to overclock both, but am lacking the knowledge of monitors. I know there is a sticky thread with cpu-z and gpu-z free links but not sure if they will work with windows 8 and also if they are good for what I need them for. Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

I use cpu-z and gpu-z or perhaps hwmonitor from gpu-z. Works flawlessly on windows 8 64bit on my end.
Hwmonitor logs temprature, volts and fan speed if available.

http/www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html and google for gpu-z.
