Hardware Monitoring Tools Page 2 of 15
Say you’ve purchased and set up a brand new PC! Great, congratulations! However, you notice that you can’t seem to find that second hard drive you swore you plugged in, and you don’t want to to open your computer back up until you know for sure that it isn’t being recognized by the computer instead of just being user error.
That’s where these hardware monitoring apps come in. From HWInfo to Open Hardware Monitor, these apps will ensure that you know what your computer has plugged in and is actively supplying power to. They will also usually inform you of the temperature of your computer parts, which is especially great for enthusiast users that love to overclock!
