    Libre Hardware Monitor is a fork of discontinued Open Hardware Monitor, and practically just like its predecessor, with updates for recognizing today's hardware. I built a new PC and tried several alternatives which left me unsatisfied, until I found Libre which worked exactly like Open Hardware Monitor in my soon-to-retire 6 years old PC. Problem solved!

    Open Hardware Monitor gives you data on your computer hardware's state, such as CPU and CPU use and physical temperature, RAM use, etc.

    GPU Screen Recorder is a screen image recorder . . . not at all the same thing.
