This is the system performance monitor of Riva Tuner, it gathers system temperatures, voltages and fan speeds to display and alter them within Rita Tuner and it derivatives.

MSI Afterburner-related - this handles the on-screen display for framerate/etc.

RivaTuner Statistics Server, sometimes installed as part of MSI Afterburner for sensor readings and on-screen display. At worst, it might take up some CPU time and hassle Windows Aero when you aren't playing a game.
