+ Riva Tuner and HWInfo.

CPU-Z and GPU-Z are also decent free softwares to check more than just temps.

I use Adrenaline from AMD.

Very, VERY unlikely, far more likely, thst as with most bans, they were actually cheating.

You heard wrong, because many people use MSI Afterburner for more than just tracking stats, since it's most handy for GPU overclocking. There'd be a lot more banned people, so in reality, the ones that are blaming it on MSI were actually just cheating and trying to find an excuse to hide from it.

It is, just use MSI Afterburner + RiveTuner Statistics Server.

Step by step:
1. Download the MSI Afterburner package from MSI's website and run the installer. Usually it gives you the option to install RivaTuner during the installation.

2. After the programs are installed, open MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner Statistics Server.

3. In RivaTuner:
-Make sure "Show On-Screen Display" is set to ON
-If you want to set a framerate limit, this is the best way to do it
-If you want to configure different RTSS profiles based on the game, you can add game executables to the list, by default there's only the global profile which affects almost everything
-Once your done, you can minimise it

4. In MSI Afterburner:
a) Open the settings and go to the Monitoring tab
b) There should be a list of active hardware monitoring graphs that you can enable; enabled graphs will say "In OSD" next to it
c) To enable graphs, simply click on it in the list and check "Show in On-Screen Display"
d) When you're done click Apply and OK
e) Optionally you can set a hotkey to toggle the On-Screen Display if desired

i use GPU-Z for video cards

[Der tüddelige Fußgänger]

I use the amd driver overlay.
This works for both cpu and gpu.
But i don't know if it works for the cpu if you use an intel and i also don't know if nvidia has such a feature, but it would suprise me if they don't have something like this.

ive been using MSI afterburner for years playing all sorts of multiplayer games, you will not get banned as its not a source code for cheating in the game.

Did you guys know you can get your temps on your OSD without Afterburner? I only run RivaTuner Statistics Server now along with HWiNFO. I select CPU and GPU temps along with fps and it's right there. HWiNFO must be running, though.

No game would ban you for monitoring your hardware temperatures. Just find some YouTube videos, preferably comparing your games with others using hardware sets. You will see the OSDs constantly.

Edit: only if you're not using Afterburner for anything else like gpu fan-control, that is.

get a 2nd display and use hwmonitor
it also logs min/max so even without a 2nd display you know the max temps they get to

BS excuse cheaters use. Those people who say that know exactly why they got banned and it sure as hell wasn't any sort of system monitoring software lol.

they may be using ab, but its the cheats that got them banned
