hardware sensors monitor Editor's Review

Hardware Sensors Monitor is an application designed to help you keep an eye on your hardware configuration in order to insure a good functioning of your system and prevent crashes due to overheating.

The program displays the readings provided by sensors on your motherboard and displays CPU, mainboard and HDD temperatures, chassis, CPU and power fans' RPM (rotation per minute), voltages, VGA fan (RPM) and temperatures, etc.

You can set temperature or voltage thresholds and in case these thresholds will be achieved, the program will play a sound or run an executable file. Using this feature, you can set the computer to shut down before it overheats. Overheating can cause system instability or may even damage hardware devices.

The program is easy to configure. It will run silently in the background continuously monitoring your system. All actions can be logged and logs can be copied to the clipboard.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: Since the new generations of motherboards have included software for hardware monitoring, I believe that programs such as this become more and more obsolete by the day.
