Core Temp vs AIDA64 Comments


- Core Temp is Free and Proprietary
AIDA64 is described as 'System information and diagnostics utility, 64-bit CPU and memory benchmarking, real-time hardware monitoring, advanced system stability testing, and export options in multiple formats' and is a very popular Benchmark tool in the os & utilities category. There are more than 50 alternatives to AIDA64 for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Android, Mac and Android Tablet apps. The best AIDA64 alternative is CPU-Z, which is free. Other great apps like AIDA64 are HWiNFO (32/64), Speccy, Open Hardware Monitor and GPU-Z.
