HWMonitor Pro

Seeing the readings of the sensors on your PC can be useful. Knowing the operating speeds, temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, and more, can make you aware of the state of your system and its true performance thresholds.

Where does one go to find such information, though? You may find it in your BIOS if you have a motherboard that allows for that, but that's not too convenient. Third-party alternatives exist to make life easier, and HWMonitor Pro is a popular example: it gets its data directly from your sensors, comprehensively presenting it.

Sensor Lists

The information available in HWMonitor is plentiful. Upon booting up the app, you'll see your component names along with their sensor readings. The first few elements on the list display the machine's temperature, followed by the system memory usage.

• Processor information


• Hard drive details


• Graphics card data


• Battery capacity and wear level


• Network card specifics


• Airflow temperatures

Hardware Readings

The app can reveal the voltages, temperatures, and power draw of your processor. Clock speeds and graphics card information are also displayed.

A logging feature in HWMonitor Pro helps you chart the status of your hardware over time. It can even generate a .csv file for further analysis.

Additional Features

Specific sensor readings can be added to the tray for easy monitoring. The Pro version can also monitor network adapters for download and upload values.

If you know how to interpret the hardware readings provided by HWMonitor, it's an indispensable program. Even if you're new to this information, it's exciting to explore your system's capabilities with HWMonitor Pro.
