    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!
