Systems Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best program to know the status of your computer" May 27, 2022 5.0 It has been a great program that has helped me since college as it allowed me to take better care of my computer and now in my professional life it allows me to know what is wrong with a computer and fix it. Pros I love that with the help of this program, it is possible to know and document the problems that the computers of the inventory and the office have and to be able to solve them in the best possible way. Cons The graphical interface is not very friendly, it could be improved so that an inexperienced user understands each value it shows. Review Source dZ daniel Z.

QA Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Detailed monitor of system performance" August 30, 2019 4.0 It does it's job great, but you have to be knowledgeable about IT to use it right. Pros So many options! At the beginning I thought that it is bloated with so many options, but as my career advanced into more detailed server troubleshooting, I find that every option is there for a reason. Cons A bit intimidating to use at first, but at least you can not do any harm by just clicking around. I could not find any appropriate documentation. Review Source MW Matthew W.

September 21, 2023 5.0 Fantastic, I've tried other products from gigabyte and MSI but you can literally feel the processing power those suck up, my mouse even lags sometimes when I'm in MSI even it's so poorly optimized and I've got an i9 with a 3000 series graphics card. Pros They just do exactly what you want them to do. There is no fluff or added features to make things look nice that could take up extra processing power (which you definitely don't want to do if you are monitoring your data in the first place, especially temps). This program is so lightweight and you get all of the data right there, first page when you open the program, no need for tutorials, no need to turn it off when your computer is running hot, it's the perfect program for monitoring your computer. Cons There's nothing to not like, maybe for some people a nicer looking application would be a priority for whatever reason, but if you are monitoring temps, at least for me, you want all the data, 0 fluff, and lowest processing power to obtain it and display it, and that's exactly what HVMonitor does. It also has a few other helpful tools I've used but it's mostly just the front page data.

December 11, 2018 5.0 It's a simple took that does what it needs to do. Hard to ask for more! Pros As a hobbyist PC builder and overclocker, I rely on tools to make sure I'm not damaging my hardware. I like to know and make sure that everything is flowing smoothly, my temps are in the right ranges, and that all components are working properly. HVMonitor has been crucial in that for years for me. I find that it is resource light and information is extremely accurate. It's one of the first things install when I build a new PC. Cons I would love the ability to skin it, and customize the look.

Having built my first PC I had to be sure that everything worked correctly and HWMonitor was the one that helped me. It's not a demanding software and fulfills its function.

Technical Assistant Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and free to use" March 5, 2019 5.0 I use this software to monitor the temperature of my CPU, which is overclocked. It is important to keep a close eye on if temperatures are getting too high, so I can check if my CPU cooler is correctly mounted, or that the case is tightly sealed, which could affect air flow. It has worked perfectly the whole time I have had it installed, and I would recommend it to others. Pros I like that I can monitor the temperature of my CPU, which is overclocked, with this software Cons I don't dislike anything about this software, so I have nothing to say that is negative about it.
