Oh, there were a ton of these utils back in the days. I can't vouch for any of them because I don't use them, but just a quick search for "cpu utilization hdd utilization in the taskbar" shows a lot of options, eg https://entropy6.com/xmeters/ Or even running the default Task Manager so it would be only in the notification area and not in the taskbar: ... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
I use monitor apps like xMeters (CPU Load) and CoreTemp (CPU Temp. More temp = more sustained CPU load) to monitor my normal state. Using BatteryMon gives you a visual graph so you can see where your battery life is going and change your behviour to be more efficient. Source: about 2 years ago
There were several fantastic free and paid System Monitor Taskbar extensions for Windows 10 that sat down in the system tray, like XMeters and Taskbar Stats. With the new Windows 11 Taskbar, what are my options? Has anyone found a good alternative other than the Game Bar's floating monitor? I'm mainly looking to track CPU, RAM, and Network Speed.

Not exactly what you ask for but I like it in the taskbar, so I can always know what is going on. Xmeter does that perfectly. Https://entropy6.com/xmeters/. Source: over 2 years ago
Minimise your CPU usage and try and always return to a near idle state of 1-3% CPU load. I like to use X Meters and Core Temp to monitor CPU usage. Get used to what is normal ... And take action when it is not normal. Source: about 3 years ago
I use an app to check system temps: OpenHardwareMonitor. Some people like SpeedFan, does most of the same stuff. Source: over 1 year ago
That's not super common (but it does happen ofc). It might be worth running a tool to scan the drive and take a peek at the SMART data. I typically use Speedfan https://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: over 1 year ago

Speedfan Freeware gives you some info about your temps, but its mostly used to set up your custom fan control, such as increasing rpm of your front intake fans when temp of GPU and/or CPU reaches a certain point and much more, how much you can do with it depends on the fan controller chip that is used on your mainboard, so you mileage may vary.
