This tool is awesome for monitoring your cpu and overclocking etc.

The dev responds on his forum very fast too

 

I have a lot of respect for the developer. I asked a question about Controlled Folder Access and HWiNFO one time and not only did he respond within a few hours, his replies satisfactorily answered the question, without being snotty or condecending.

Getting rarer to do that by the day, it seems. Times are tuff.

 

+1

The developer baby's this program and ensures that it performs to user expectations while fine tuning anything to improve it even more.

 

Yes, I think it's the best monitoring tool, I also use Open Hardware Monitor but HWinFO is more advanced of course.

 

Use both too (PortableApps.com version of HWiNFO though).
