MSI Afterburner Questions?

[hyp3r1onsun]

So, I'm essentially just looking to use MSI Afterburner for monitoring my CPU/GPU temperatures and I'm not interested in the over/underclocking and undervolting aspects of the software.

1) Is it possible to just ignore setting up, or completely disable these aspects?

2) How simple is it to set up solely for CPU/GPU temperature monitoring?

3) How resource intensive is the program when using it just for this purpose?

4) Would you recommend a different program if I'm just interested in monitoring CPU/GPU temperatures? Why?

i use argus monitor for temperature monitoring and s.m.a.r.t

Just ignore the sliders regarding the Voltage and Clocks then. There are about a dozen or so Skins to choose from as well.

just for temps you can use default amd/nvidia overlays.

I use Rainmeter(with HWiNFO64 running in background) on the second monitor to monitor cpu, gpu, ssd, vrm, chipset and PSU temperatures.

Just download RTSS, it's what Afterburner uses for its monitoring, you don't even need it.
