Solve : Hardware Monitoring Program?

Answer»

This is the best one I have found, to DATE. Works better than any of the offerings from CPUID or SpeedFan.
Sensor data is more complete & accurate; System summary is CONTAINED in 1 window, no tabs.
They even have a DOS version (HWInfo), which I haven't tried. The Windows version is HWInfo32.

Nice find C_C. Very in depth and definitely a keeper. Thks, overthehillFor some reason, it's very incomplete on my old Compaq, only shows the hard drive temps on the Sensor Data. System Configuration is complete. SpeedFan shows all sensor data. CPUID Hardware Monitor shows nothing.Quote from: Computer_Commando on April 15, 2011, 11:06:31 AM

I've found the same situation on my TravelMate 2420 as you found on your Compaq. But ,on my Pent D, the HWiNFO32. app.works just fine. These two PC's are APPROX. the same vintage, the TravelMate (XP) the Pent D (Vista). I'm thinking that HWiNFO requires more oomph than my TravelMate can provide. The only app. of this type (that I can find) that works on the TravelMate is Speccy. At least it gives me some sensor data. For some strange reason I can't get SpeedFan to run on the TravelMate? Anyway, I've been checking a few of these types of apps. on the Pent D and I wonder why they don't use the same terminology?. For example, 59° C is my CPU temp. HWiNFO calls it that, as does SpeedFan. SIW refers to the 59°C reading as Diode 1. Speccy shows Motherboard as 59° C. Mind you Speccy is quite basic. In any case, I'm finding that I quite like HWiNFO, because like C_C said it's accurate and complete. Too bad it won't run properly on my TravelMate. overthehillQuote from: Computer_Commando on April 15, 2011, 11:06:31 AM

What model Compaq in that computer? I just installed HWInfo32 on my HP Compaq d530 CMT and got a whole slew of info. This computer is Pentium IV, 2.66GHz. Back when I was running Windows 7 RC on this machine, I installed CPUID, which also worked well with it. Quote from: soybean on April 16, 2011, 07:56:27 AM
