or to use the free hwinfo

why they give you a free software ??

 

a hidden adware or virus maybe ?? :wacko:

I don't want a virus in my new gaming build :)  but also I want to watch my system temp -_-

Because some people might be nice?

maybe they arent motivated soley by cash.

 

AIDA64 is great as a 1 stop shop; but there are free alternatives that can do almost everything there. AIDAs great part is the fact it can be all done in the same place.

 

Coretemp/Realtemp are free (just be careful not to get the ones that install adware if you arent careful)

Hwmonitor is good, so is aida64 and it's free iirc. They are free for one of two reasons: 1) they are products made out of passion and the guys who made them want to share the awesomeness or 2) they are developed for some specific products and designed for customers - but they work on other products too (e.g. msi afterburner)

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

aida isn't free

and HWmonitor do just fine

but if the bundle pack works, then whatever suit your need.

 

personally I never use any software that came with motherboard

except for BIOS update only if that software is required (which most of time it doesn't need)

Typically the software your manufacture supplies will be SPECIFIC to the machine itself.  Meaning it will be more accurate, more responsive, and fewer conflicts...

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

I use the app center for System information viewer alone. It does take some CPU power to run so you'll see a dip in your benchmarks running it. Great program though.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

I have found HWinfo64 to be a more reliable than HWmonitor lately. It also shows a lot more info than HWmonitor too.

Maybe throw Speccy in the mix and see which one it agrees with?

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.
