HWiNFO or AIDA64 are far and away the the best monitoring applications.
With custom watercooling, my overclocked 9900K (5000MHz, 1.21VCore) typically idles at ambient +10°C.
Running hard-core stress applications such as LinX or Prime95 small FFT, or OCCT, I typically see upper 70°C to mid 80°C CPU temperatures with ambients in the low to mid 20°C.
Keeping the radiator next to the air conditioner vent in the summer really helps.

Bought one pre-built desktop in 2000, Windows Millenium.
Have purchased two laptops (because it is virtually impossible to build a laptop) W8 & W10.
The other six PCs have been assembled. Running W98, XP, or W7.
Currently have three W7 machines in operation.
Windows is the ‘industry standard’ for most consumers.
Microsoft should split into two entities. One focused on PC users, one for mobile users. And never the twain should meet.

Over the past half-decade, Microsoft has put a lot of work into Win10
If only it were good work… It surely is several times more complicated now – yet – somehow doesn’t do much of anything more than its predecessors did, even on decent computer hardware. Sigh. And what it DOES do now does with several additional doses of mediocrity and bloat. I have selected/moved/closed the wrong window at least several times this past week. Aero Glass would have avoided that.
Oh, and just late last week I looked over a dual Xeon Win 10 test system (dedicated to automated product testing) that was recording timeouts during basic operations, such as cold-starting the product. I took a look at the setup and, long story short, eliminated upwards of 45 running processes from that system that are useless given its purpose. I could have gone even further but testing is now proceeding smoothly and rapidly.

Agreed.
But, good for whom? Microsoft? Advertisers?? Data Miners???
Heaven forbid it would good be for the end user.
The fact there is a ‘new’ version every six months simply says that Microsoft really has no idea what a good OS is. Try this, tweak that, add something, remove other things. Firm adherence to the Microsoft motto; “If it ain’t broke, fix it ’til it is.”
Get rid of the forced updates, telemetry, and the excess, unneeded, useless ‘Services’, the Windows Store (or what ever it is called), allow disabling or deletion of unwanted ‘features’, allow full user customization…

Probably going to get some hate, probably a lot…
- No forced updates.
- No telemetry, period. Not opt in, not opt out. None.
- No Windows Store, or whatever it is called.
- Trim down the ridiculous number of ‘Services’.
- Allow user UN-installation of useless ‘features’.
- I am sure there are more, I cannot think of any right now.

You’re doing it wrong.
Got it, thanks.
