I've used this for a long time as my primary system information software. I use another as well because it's very fast as a portable, not that HWinfo isn't now, it's quite fast so I may just stick with HWinfo now.
It has pretty much everything you need to know about your system and actually, more than most even need to know unless you are a tech geek like myself.
Even if it's not something you would use right away, it's still fun to view everything and for most people, eventually you will have to use something like this if you run into a pc issue and someone asks what your specs are. I've found some others to be inaccurate at times and not as thorough so I don't really bother with them.
I'll stick with HWinfo.

I've tried all free system monitoring programs I've found, as well as a few only-to-buy ones, and I've ended with this one. I mainly use it to monitor temperatures, and compared with others it excels in accuracy - the temperature readings are practically the same as BIOS gives.
As everything else works fine too, I can warmly recommend it. The only wishes I have in further development is that the program would automatically go minimized in the tray, with options chosen by user, and that you could copy text by one's own choice, not the whole line... the latter is a minor detail :). The former seems to be in configs, but for some reason it doesn't quite work... it may be me, of course?
But a piece of good work, this is.
