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 fps… Frametimes… Recordable graphs… Power… Voltages… Amps… Task manager is a baby compared to serious monitoring apps. But the main purpose is not monitoring ig, it’s fine as it is.
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

And temperature?

It has temps for GPU I know that

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
There are a thousand applications that provide such an overlay, one is already built into Windows, do you really need yet another?
