AIDA64 Extreme Hardware monitor with support for over 250 different types of sensors that can monitor temperature, voltage, fan speed, and power.It also allows the user to control fan speeds and reduce noise. Rainmeter Top CPU temperature monitor for Windows devices that monitors core temperatures, CPU, disk usage, and RAM.It is available for all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. HWiNFO is really a nice program, and although it takes some effort to find and set up the measure options you need, that is going to be true of any approach for monitoring sensors, (which vary wildly depending on the hardware) and I have found it to be really robust and reliable.It includes customizable skins that you can use to build a unique monitoring environment. I haven't had the issue in a while.Īnyway, glad to help. However, the latest beta of HWiNFO and the 2.0 version of the Rainmeter plugin seems to have stopped this from happening. I had to edit and toggle between them when this happened. it seemed that after a 'hard boot' it would sometimes come up with one of two ID numbers for it. I used to have that issue from time to time with my GPU and HWiNFO as well. Hopefully this isn't going to be a regularity. Well, with just one small letdown so far: After rebooting the system the IDs of my graphics card (MSI 970) has changed, so I had to edit the skin again (using 'Graphite' from Deviantart as a basis at the moment).

Ok, we are all on the same page now, here is the skin: The HWiNFO plugin for Rainmeter that will be installed by this skin is incompatible with earlier versions of HWiNFO, and if you have existing HWiNFO skins you will need to extensively edit them to work with the new app and plugin. This skin requires that you get and run the latest HWiNFO (portable or installed) of version 4.47 or later for your 32bit/64bit architecture from:ĭO NOT INSTALL THIS SKIN IF YOU ARE RUNNING AN EARLIER VERSION OF HWiNFO, or HAVE EXISTING SKINS that use it, and don't want to upgrade to at least 4.47. This image will be of great help as you are setting your options: You will need to use the SharedMemoryViewer.exe that is included in the folder of the skin, to set the HWiNFO measures to reflect YOUR hardware.

Here is an example skin you can tear apart to see how to use the plugin.
