What is everyone's best app pick for keeping watch on overall PC system performance including temperature? I've got a gaming PC in my room and a work PC in the garage and would like to have some idea of how they are running in order to do regular maintenance if needed.

I’ve had Pulseway installed for years. Monitor it via iOS app.

Coretemp for quick visual taskbar reference. MSI Afterburner for the GFX Card

And CPUID HWMonitor for anything more in depth.
