MSI Afterburner is the most used overclocking graphics card software for a good reason. It‘s reliable, works on any card (also non-MSI!), gives you complete control, lets you monitor your hardware, helps to read the biometrics of the electronic chips inside the computer in real-time and best of all(it’s completely free). It displays the readings of the temperature and frequencies of the processor, graphics cards and other processors. You can monitor your computer's temperature and the number of frames while playing the video games, determine which scenes are consuming a lot of your PC's resources during use, and avoid damages. It is the best tool for displaying computer components and the current readings of each piece connected. It also gives direct control over it, but recommends the user's responsibility(Warning).
MSI Afterburner Features:
- Monitor PC components.
- Overclocking graphics card software.
- Display Temp.
- Custom Fan Profiles.
- Hardware Monitoring.
- In-Game FPS Counter.
- Benchmarking.

MSI Afterburner Release Notes
- Game Ready for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War PC Beta.
- Added NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture support:
- Added new fan control 3.0 API support
- Added new integrated OC Scanner API support, please read below to get more information about new OC Scanner implementation
- Updated bundled MSI Overclocking Scanner application:
- Starting from 455.xx drivers family, NVIDIA OS Scanner is no longer implemented as a separate software component redistributed with each AIC partner's overclocking software. Now NVIDIA OC Scanner is integrated into the driver and third-party software can natively access it via NVAPI. Such implementation simplifies the process of OC Scanner maintenance for NVIDIA, it is no longer necessary to ship updated software components to AIC partners and re-release each partners' software when something needs to be changed inside OC Scanner from NVIDIA side. MSI Overclocking Scanner supports both implementations of NVIDIA OC Scanner API:
- Old legacy implementation of NVIDIA OC Scanner via separate software components for NVIDIA Pascal and Turing architectures for pre-455.xx drivers family
- New integrated NVAPI based implementation of NVIDIA OC Scanner for 455.xx and newer NVIDIA display drivers
- New NVAPI based OC scanner implementation features the following changes and improvements:
- Automated overlocking support for both core and memory clocks
- OC Scanners's results are now persistent. It means that once the scanning process succeeds, NVIDIA driver internally saves optimized voltage/frequency curve and overclocked memory clock and apply them as new system defaults after reboot, even if you close or uninstall overclocking application. Now there is new "Revert" button inside MSI Overclocking Scanner, which allows you to revert overclocked curve and memory clocks to their real defaults
- Manually adjusted clock/frequency curve stability testing functionality is deprecated and no longer available
- Added voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30x0 series graphic cards
- Added new MSI Ampere and Indigo skins by Drerex design
- Added experimental support for Intel 10th generation CPUs
- Added native NVAPI based implementation of absolute GPU power monitoring for NVIDIA GPUs
- Altered synchronization mutex name for AMD SNM registers access in AMD Ryzen temperature monitoring implementation
