How the hell do you fuck up the task manager, an application that hasn't needed to be touched in decades? At best, you stick a new skin over it to match the aesthetic. The core functionality of the task manager should have remained untouched going back to... What, Windows 3.0?
I really don't agree with this comment seeing how useful task manager has gotten over the years. It used to be pretty simple process explorer, but has evolved into almost a full fledged resource monitor. The only thing that feels like missing now is afterburner-like overlay in games.
And temperature?
Never really needed that since I built my own rig, do maintenance and trust my build. Never had problems with temps, even during prolonged stresstesting
Okay, but literally all of that is reason to need temperature monitoring?
Only during the finish phase to make sure your system stays optimal during full load. No need to do that during actual use afterwards.
Think of it like servicing the car vs using the car
