I need something like a graph that shows core frequency for the past minutes same as Process Explorer draws usage graphs. CPU-z is out of the question since it only reports the core frequency at the present moment, and since CPU frequency changes instantaneously it's impossible to monitor while playing a game.

In the following list, you are going to find dedicated CPU usage monitor software with tiny interface or no interface at all. Some of these software are advanced System monitors or Task managers, which let you view and manage various other PC related operation other than to monitor CPU usage.

So, this list is comprised of software that are not only CPU usage monitor software, but also carry out various PC maintenance and management operations.

Its a small and attractive tool which not only looks cool but provides real time CPU load data. It also displays RAM usage and network usage. The number of running Processes is also displayed here. You can also view and manage services, startup apps, and carry out various other things from here.

Resource Monitor is an advanced version of Windows Task Manager. It does almost the same job as Task Manager, but with more number of graphs. I tested it on a dual core PC, thus total 4 graphs are displayed. Its a customizable tool that blinks or displays warning when CPU usage reaches a given threshold stage. All the warnings and blink alerts are displayed from the system tray. The options to blink and to show warning can be turned off separately.

A simple right click on the icon of My CPU Monitor in the system tray displays options to set warning parameters.

It lets you view CPU usage statistics as graph on small tiles. There are various tiles that display your CPU core performance, Memory usage, Disk usage for both read and write functions, and Network download and upload usage.

All the statistics are displayed as graph, and to view the real time numbers, simply hover your mouse over a tile. You can place these tiles and arrange them anywhere you want on the desktop.

Graph type, tile size, and various other parameters can be changed right from the settings menu. Settings menu can be accessed from the system tray on the task bar. It also displays average CPU usage percentage. If you want, you can change its parameters according to your choice.

You can set the graph type as bar graph or line graph. You also get to change the calibration percentage, graph update interval, CPU usage update interval, etc. Big Meter Pro lets you monitor CPU usage in real time on a round meter shaped interface, as shown above. It displays real time CPU load percentage in figures along with a pointer.

As the CPU load varies, it is displayed on the interface. The interface is customizable and you can change the opacity of dials, and pointer shape. You can also make the interface keep floating on the top of all open applications. Real time CPU usage percentage and graph are displayed on the interface. It displays the memory in use, modified memory, and free memory. You can also use it to monitor CPU temperature.

Unfortunately, the temperature monitor did not work for the both processors. There are other tabs available with this CPU usage monitor freeware. You can select a task and end it if you want from here. Some additional information is also displayed, such as number of CPU cores, power source type, and current IP address. You will not find any other option here apart from the mentioned ones. SysGauge is an advanced software with CPU usage monitor tool.

It not only lets you view CPU usage, but also displays memory usage, disk activity, network activity, and more. Its working mode is a bit different than other software mentioned here. You have to add a counter to view respective data. Here you can view all CPU core usage or select a core to monitor its usage. On the bottom of the interface, you can view current, average, maximum, and minimum usage statistics.

It has an Analysis feature that analyzes your PC for errors and warnings, and displays counter status and status of the processes running on your PC. It only displays CPU usage in a tiny graphical space. This tool only lets you keep an eye if CPU usage is not high enough.

You cannot even view precise usage statistics as it will not show the CPU usage percentage. All you can do is change the color of the bars. System Explorer is a free computer monitoring software that can be used as a CPU usage monitor. It gives you detailed info about various services and processes going on in your computer.
