I always liked MenuMeters on my MBP because it told me how much memory and CPU was being used right there from the menu bar. It doesn't work with El Capitan. Anyone have experience with replacements and recommendations?

Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) has two options: Dock icon will show several activities, and "Window" contextual menu gives you several others. I use the later to show CPU floating window because it shows all 8 cores of my i7 CPU.

You can use a third-party utility and worry about it breaking, or worse, breaking something else or you can do what modelamac suggested.

Me too. The "Floating CPU Window" is neat, and you can put it wherever you want.

I also use iStat Menus. I'm using an old version, and it still works in Mavericks.

Been using it. Works fine.
