With computer parts getting more and more sophisticated it pays to have some sort of software that keeps an eye on all the parts. There are several components of a computer that can run more efficiently with the use of monitoring software.

Firstly the RAM can benefit. There is software that can keep report to you the amount of RAM you have installed and the amount of RAM being used in real time. What this means is you can determine how much RAM each application your run uses in real time. This software usually comes with a disk de-fragment button. Essentially this does what the windows hard disk de-fragment function does. It cleans up the positioning of the data on the RAM to help it run more efficiently. RAM is an important part of any system and can greatly impact on the system performance.

Keeping an eye on your CPU is also important. There are several programs that can report to you the amount of CPU usage, CPU and case temperature and more. This is particularly important if you are overclocking your computer. Overclocking can generate more heat from your CPU and can potentially damage it and other parts in your PC. Most of these programs have alarms of warnings when your CPU temperature gets above a pre-defined limit therefore stopping possible damage to your computer.

Last but not least is the hard disk monitor. This type of software monitors the performance of your hard disk. For example it reports the read and write speeds to and from your hard disk which essentially is the overall performance. The hard disk is an important part of any computer as it holds all the data and is constantly utilized by the CPU.

Attaining monitoring software is quite simple. There are several different software providers that will allow you to use the software free of charge. All you need to do is a simple search on the web.
