@ smaragdus: Thanks ... and updated ;)
v4.50
The latest version of HWiNFO32/HWiNFO64 is 4.50.
v4.48
The plethora of information to display including Fan speeds, CPU, HDD, and MOBO temps in the notification tray makes this thing perfect for me. I let Process Explorer handle the memory/cpu/network/etc usage and let this thing display cpu/mobo/etc temps and I get a wealth of information in one area. It doesn't use too much resources either. Highly recommended.
@Ateka: The most important part -- The driver is installed when you run and it is removed after you close it. The HKCU key is settings and not important. It's not stealth, it requires admin rights but it IS portable.
V4.00
"Dependencies: Administrator rights"
The policy of this site is to list even kind-of-portable software and give enough information to let YOU decide if each application is portable.
V3.82
I believe SIV doesn't require admin rights. Judging from the screenshot - it looks like it reports the same amount of information.
V3.73-1220
btw: comments are NOT for discussion
@tom: That's not a definition of portable software, rather a requirement for admin rights. Without admin rights it's not possible to access hardware so impossible to make such a tool.
@m : portable for me means that i can use it on a PC without admin rights and because of the regkey I cant use it on my PC
Very nice, this software will give all the info you could ever want, at least 4me :)Thanks to the maker for all the hard work to bring us this FREE software to use.
