HWiNFO64 6.10 Build 3880

Any user should always keep a system information utility nearby to evaluate their computer's health. From disk temperature to CPU temperature, from benchmarking to overclocking stress tests, one should always keep an eye on their hardware to see if a failure is incoming. There are a ton of notable ones out there, but we're going to be looking at HWiNFO64 today.

HWiNFO64 is an incredibly lightweight yet powerful tool that will immediately collect all relevant hardware details, such as S.M.A.R.T attributes and sensor data. It can also automatically create indicators in the tray to monitor temperature and other important data, as well as set up various alerts for critical events like overheating.

On initial startup, it will automatically display all the most relevant information immediately on a window separate to the main one. This window doesn't contain too much information you won't be able to find from Window's built-in dxdiag. The main window is where you can find information like cores, processor pages, logical processors, ID, brand name, thermal design power, memory ranges, CPU socket+status, and even more. it can also show you the total memory size and performance settings of your computer, as well as your video card, drives, network, and much more. It sorts every single one of these into its own separate tab.

This program barely taxes your CPU's processing power, and does its job extremely well. That makes HWiNFO64 an easy recommend. There's an alternate version called HWiNFO32 if your OS has that architecture, so worry not.
