OPEN HARDWARE MONITOR FOR MAC INSTALL

HWiNFO is available in several different packages including both a portable and standard install bundle, for 32 and 64 bit systems.

I downloaded the portable version offered by Softpedia for the purposes of this review, which has no bloatware. Therefore, proceed with caution as it’s possible some -or all- may include additional bloatware during the install process. Iit would take too much time for me to download and scan each of the packages with VirusTotal. Word of caution: When you choose to download the app you are presented with several mirrors from separate web portals.You have to close the app and reopen it to switch between the summary and sensor tools.Relatively light on system resources (about 16MB of RAM usage while running).Several add-ons are offered through the developer’s website which expand overall functionality.You can save reports or logs in various formats.

Fairly advanced configuration options, accessed through the welcome screen.

Hardware sensor monitor (temperature, usage ratings, etc).

System details or hardware summary (model, clock speeds, brand).

Comprehensive hardware monitoring utility, includes two separate tools.

Through the application settings you can also fine tune how the necessary data is collected, and how the application operates. Obviously, this allows you to streamline just the information you need to view. When you start the application you will be able to choose the type of information you’d like to view, summary or sensor based. HWiNFO is a fairly simple, yet incredibly useful hardware monitor for Windows. HWiNFO is a similar hardware monitoring tool for Windows that is both portable and lightweight. For things like that, there are plenty of hardware monitoring tools out there like CPU-ID, Open Hardware Monitor and more. Have you ever needed to look under the hood of your rig before? To elaborate that point, have you ever been in a situation where hardware monitoring was absolutely necessary? I have been there plenty of times, and I know I’m not alone in that respect.
