If you're running an NVidia card, you can use the NVidia System Monitor.
HWMonitor works like a hot damn.
SpeedFan is a pretty good monitor for a free one.
One of the best total system monitors that I've found (and it's the one I use) is Everest.
It does a ton of system monitors, including voltage (both configured and 'real - after v-droop'), temps (each core, hd, gpu, gpu mem, mb mem, mb ambient...basically only limited by what your mb will report) [it also accepts feeds from external temp sensors if you have any], overclocks, etc. I also use it to monitor my pump speeds (I'm water-cooled).
Overall, it covers everything I care to monitor (and it puts them all down on your quickbar for fast reference if you want it to). It's not free though, you'll have to pay for it.

Normally, me too 
But after laying out what I did for the water-cooling, an extra 40 bucks for the monitor software was a drop in the bucket (hehe, get it, water-cooled, drop) (ok so I'm a little loopy today )

also, have a look at the general info stickied thread by Zloth in this section. Zloth and Mid have some good stuff in there, but the links are old and may not be valid anymore. :-(
I have a BFG GTS 250 so I think I am gonna try the Nvidia program. Thanks for the input.

Ok, got the Nvidia System Monitor program running. What temps should be a warning sign that there are heat problems. My GPU is at 46C, CPU1 is 45C, CPU2 is 42C and the HD is 31C. Any problems there or should I be worried.

They all seem fine to me.

Hey all. Whats a good program to monitor your temps on the CPU and video card and stuff. Got my new rig up and running and it seems a little warm even with all 4 fans running. No heat problems yet but i want to be sure. Thanks.
