A software to monitor GPU temperature changes?

Question

It happens quite often that while playing heavy games, my laptop shuts off due to GPU overheat. I need a software that does the following: - Records GPU temperature - When the temperature reaches a predefined threshold (say ~80 deg C) it should start off an alarm - in the form of a notification or popup - Optimizes my programs during gaming to reduce GPU load (optional) I'm using Windows 8.1 with an AMD GPU.

Answer 1

MSI Afterburner will monitor temps. Radeon Wattman and FPS Counter are other great options.

I'd also be happy to give you a quick remote session for free and try to nail down what's causing your GPU to overheat.
