To install just unpack the zip archive and run OpenHardwareMonitor.exe with Administrator rights. Without Administrator rights most hardware sensors are not accessible. The application is still in Beta status, so use it at your own risk. ...

It couldn't see the temperatures for my Intel Motherboard, Core 2 Duo machine, but I do like the web interface. Back when I was running a Windows server, this would have been very nice.

I left this open for a few hours while running my machine and really liked the‭ ‬breakdown‭ ‬on‭ ‬disk‭ ‬memory,‭ ‬CPU,‭ ‬temperature,‭ ‬and RAM.‭ ‬Really gave me a breakdown on system behavior.‭ ‬Obviously the open license is also very welcome.

Wishlist:‭

Less RAM.‭ ‬Takes up‭ ‬23‭ ‬megs that grew to‭ ‬26‭ ‬megs of ram,‭ ‬which seems high for a simple monitoring program.
More detailed history beyond just min/max/current.‭ ‬For example,‭ ‬a‭ ‬graph/histogram of some kind.
