HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors: voltages, temperatures, fans speed. Amazing Benchmarking Software for PC!

HW Monitor handles the most common sensor chips, like ITE® IT87 series, most Winbond® ICs, and others.

In addition, it can read modern CPUs on-die core thermal sensors, as well as hard drives temperature via S.M.A.R.T, and video card GPU temperature.

Special hardware monitors such as abit® uGuru and Gigabyte® ODIN™ power supplies serie are supported too. HWMonitor is Awesome!
