CPUID HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors : voltages, temperatures, fans speed.

The program handles the most common sensor chips, like ITE IT87 series, most Winbond ICs, and others. In addition, it can read modern CPUs on-die core thermal sensors, as well has hard drives temperature via S.M.A.R.T, and video card GPU temperature. Special hardware monitors such as abit uGuru and Gigabyte ODIN™ power supplies serie are supported too. The HWMonitor's PC health monitoring engine is available for customized use through the CPUID System Monitoring Development Kit, a professional SDK built for the Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Features:

• Display the temperatures of more devices than the other two tools (CPU, GPU, hard disks, ACPI, battery capacity).

• What devices are supported seems to be dependent on the kind of machine where you run CPUID HWMonitor.
• It shows the minimum and the maximum temperature that each component has/had since you launched the tool.
• CPUID HWMonitor is a standalone tool, so it comes in handy if you quickly want to check the internal temperatures on a server etc
