HWiNFO is a professional hardware information and diagnostic tool supporting latest components, industry technologies and standards. Includes system health monitoring (Thermal, Voltage, Fan, Power), basic benchmarks and multiple report formats (text, CSV, XML, HTML, MHTML).

HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors including:

• CPU temperature, voltage, power consumption and utilization
• Mainboard voltages, temperatures, fans speed
• GPU voltage, temperature, utilization
• HDD temperature

CPU-Z gathers and displays information on some of the main components of the machine, including CPU, motherboard, memory, GPU and operating system.

Core Temp is a small footprint yet powerful program to monitor processor temperature and other vital system information. The program can track temperatures on individual processor cores, useful for advanced diagnostics or checking that cooling tools are functioning properly.

Open Hardware Monitor tracks the temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of your computer.

DriveGLEAM indicates read/write activity for your hard drives in the system tray and also includes built in extensions for monitoring CPU and memory load. It also supports sending this information to the parallel port, so you can plug in your own electronics for visual display.

Support Windows 64-Bit versions.

IntelBurnTest allows CPU benchmarking and stability tests under a heavy load. The program is commonly used by the overclocking community to measure CPU temperature when used in conjunction with a separate temperature monitoring program.

NOTE: The program will stress the CPU, memory, and north bridge, meaning the machine will run unusually hot. Make sure your PC is properly cooled and ventilated before use. Additionally, setting the "times to run" past 20 doesn't provide better results.

The program is a front-end for the CPU stress testing utility Intel Linpack.

ProcessCounter (formerly TaskCount) shows the number of running processes in real time, in the system tray.

Real Temp is a monitoring program designed to see the temperature of all Intel "Core" processors including Core 1, 2, i3, i5, and i7 processors. Each core has a digital thermal sensor (DTS) that reports data relative to the safe maximum operating temperature, known as "TjMax". As your CPU heats up, your "Distance to TjMax" will decrease.

As these processors will start to throttle or slow down as they approach their maximum temperature, it's possible to have a computer that slows down dramatically. To increase speed and reliability, a good TjMax distance is ideal.

The program also supports full logging, temperature alarms and shutdown, and the ability to calibrate for each core of your CPU.

MobileMeter is a system monitoring utility designed for laptop PCs. It displays the CPU clock speed and temperate, battery charge/discharge rate and hard disk temperature.

Note: The application web page is in Japanese, but an English translation is archived.

CPU TrueSpeed will run a frequency calculation algorithm (speed test) to determine at what internal speed (frequency) the processor (CPU) is actually running.

Note: Will not work with i486 and older CPUs.
