Overview

The Open Hardware Monitor is a free open source software that monitors temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of a computer. Open HWM app supports most hardware monitoring chips found on today's mainboards. The CPU temperature can be monitored by reading the core temperature sensors of Intel and AMD processors.

The sensors of ATI and Nvidia video cards as well as SMART hard drive temperature can be displayed. The monitored values can be displayed in the main window, in a customizable desktop gadget, or in the system tray. The free Open Hardware Monitor software runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 and any x86 based Linux operating systems without installation. The Open OHM software publishes all sensor data to WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). This allows other applications to read and use the sensor information as well.

Features and Highlights

  • Display of sensor value, min, max, and (technical) limit (columns configurable).
  • Window position and size are restored the next time the application is started.
  • Sensor names can be edited (click the sensor twice or select the sensor and press F2).
  • Plotting of temperature graphs (currently limited to max 100min).
  • The display can be limited to certain sensor types (voltage, clock, temperature, fan).
  • Hard disk S.M.A.R.T. sensor reading can be disabled to allow unused disks to be turned off.
  • Minimize to the system tray.

Note: Requires .NET Framework.
