HWMonitor

HWMonitor is a lightweight hardware monitoring program that reads your system's main health sensors. It provides real-time data on voltages, temperatures, fan speeds, and power consumption for CPUs, GPUs, motherboards, storage devices, and more.

Whether you're troubleshooting, stress testing, or just keeping an eye on system health, HWMonitor delivers clear and reliable metrics in a simple interface. Ideal for PC enthusiasts, overclockers, and tech professionals. 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 GPU temperature.

Why does HWMonitor show several different CPU temperatures?

HWMonitor lists core temperatures individually (Core 0, Core 1, etc.) and also shows an overall CPU package temperature. The core readings are from thermal sensors inside each CPU core, while the package temperature represents the hottest part of...
