With highly detailed reports, customizable alerts, and extensive logging features, HWiNFO64 is trusted by enthusiasts, system integrators, and IT professionals alike.
Whether you're benchmarking, overclocking, or ensuring system stability, HWiNFO64 delivers accurate and up-to-date hardware insights in a clean, configurable interface.
Which values should I monitor when using HWiNFO64?
The most useful readings to track are CPU core temperatures, CPU package temperature, GPU temperature, VRM temperatures, and key voltages. For AMD CPUs, Tdie or Tctl is commonly used; for Intel, the highest core temperature is important. The "Sensors only" mode gives a focused view, and enabling logging helps track performance or diagnose issues over time.
Is HWiNFO CPU and GPU temperature accurate?
Yes, HWiNFO data is reliable and accurate and will inform you about everything it possibly can about your computer. The information is split in 3 windows: a system summary, a full report, and active sensor readings.
Can HWiNFO64 show VRM temperatures?
Yes, HWiNFO64 can monitor VRM temperatures if your motherboard provides access to that data. VRM temperatures often appear labeled as "VRM" or "MOS" in the sensors list. If no such label appears, it's likely your motherboard doesn't include a sensor for that component.
Can HWiNFO control fans?
Technically, yes, HWiNFO shows you real-time data on hardware components and allows you to manually control fan speeds. However, you must use this feature carefully. HWiNFO was primarily designed to show system information. If you're looking to control CPU and GPU fan speeds you should take a look at SpeedFan or FanControl, which are specialized tools, both are free and have been tested extensively.
