DS Control Center: Advice sought

   This is the app that monitors thermal zone data, chassis lighting, airflow optimization, etc.  I must say, I hoped it would be a bit more user-friendly but the output is tiny on a high-res monitor and the color-coded lines for component temps are similarly difficult to read (CPU area and HDD area are an identical shade of yellow/brown).  There is no apparent way to enlarge the display or to do things like convert temp output from C to F.  I don't intend to be spending a lot of time neurotically monitoring my system temperatures but it would be nice to be able to use this tool.  Just for starters, can anyone clue me in on what the "safe" temperature ranges are for the five components measured and whether there might be another little app that presents the same data in a more friendly way?  Thanks!

	The control software is mainly showing you fluid temps and the temps around your internal zones. If you're looking for actual hardware temps, you should check out "Hardware Monitor" which is very useful (link below): https://www.cpuid.com/downloads/hwmonitor/hwmonitor_1.38.exe
