Thread starter mmoeller Start date Feb 12, Joined Feb 1, Messages I am developing a free and open source hardware monitoring open hardware vs closed hardware tools, that can read temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, clock speeds and loads of CPUs, GPUs, mainboards and harddisks.

Of course there are already some very good hardware monitor tools available, but none is open source at open hardware vs closed hardware tools in the windows world. And open hardware vs closed hardware tools you need support for a bit more exotic hardware or features as in my case having access to the code is great.

Getting everything coded right for every possible hardware configuration is not so easy, above all if you don't have an infinite hardware collection to test on. So it would be great if a few interested users could test the Open Hardware Monitor as the tool is called and give feedback on any wrong readings or problems. Of course you can post any feature requests as well. If you compare with other tools, the best reference are the official tools from the open hardware vs closed hardware tools. But any other comparision is usually useful as well.

Joined Jul 6, Messages 3, Nice little program you have here. I just tried the latest open hardware vs closed hardware tools, and it's working great for the system in my signature.

Joined Nov 10, Messages 11, The Min column is there, you just have to right click on the Sensor, Max, Value area underneath the toolbar and select it. Of course I could just display the reading of that one sensor multiple times as some other programs do. But this would only create the illusion of very accurate readings since all core temps have exactly the same value, when in reality its just one value copied or the same sensor read multiple times.

Beside this it just uses more screen space without providing more information. Maybe I can add more readings, which are filtered out right now. Click to expand Joined Sep 13, Messages 22, Last edited: Feb 17, FalconSS [H]ard Gawd.

Joined Jul 2, Messages 1, If so, please post it, so I can see whats going wrong. Reading more voltages is on the todo list, but its difficult to get right in general, because it is usually mainboard specific. And I can't really implement code for every mainboard out there. That's why I read only the mainboard voltages that are always the same like VCore, 3.

Won't run for me on Win7 64bit Ultimate. Here's the crash file: System. Parameter name: portName at System. Open at OpenHardwareMonitor. Thx for the report HydroBudz. This is a small problem and should be fixed with the version 0. Joined Oct Open Hardware Vs Closed Hardware Monitor 1, Messages Works great on my Lenovo T - Windows 7 Enterprise x Fershlugg Open hardware vs closed hardware tools Gawd.

Joined Apr 13, Messages Been olen it for about a day now and it works pretty well on Win 7 Home x I like that it shows max values for all sensors. I also like being able to show values in the tray, but since I'm using a very dark theme the black colors barely show up. I would upload a report file, but I can't do that yet, closde this is Open Hardware Vs Closed Hardware User only my 24th post. Perhaps a preferences ini file could be included for OHM to save user prefs?

Last edited: Feb 18, Just saw a strange thing while looking at OHM. Could this just be an anomaly caused by bringing OHM to the top? For the settings to get saved in OHM you have to exit it normally.

Rebooting hardwware just stop the OHM and don't leave enough time to save the current settings. Once your settings are saved, rebooting shouldn't be a problem.

The tray display colors can be changed with a context menu on each tray sensor display. They can disturb each other while accessing the chip and cause wrong readings. There are other reasons which can cause wrong readings very rarely. Joined Nov open hardware vs closed hardware tools, Messages Hey, awesome! I will install it soon and let you know how it goes.

Joined Nov 28, Messages Very nice tool. I like this and will continue to use and test. I hope that you can continue to expand and also pursue developing Windows Gadget that can display some of these items. I like to monitor some system items and have been ooen for ckosed that can display temps such as this in nice Gadget hardwaer some of my other items. InvisiBill 2[H]4U. Joined Jan 2, Messages 2, Windows Gadget is on the todo list.

InvisiBill said:. Joined Jul 27, Messages I am having a problem on my computer. The program works, hardwage it only shows my Video card temps. I don't know if this is even possible. Daemas Gawd. Joined Apr colsed, Messages open hardware vs closed hardware tools I would like to be able to offset temperatures esp CPU temps.

Maybe I can see what's wrong with the fans there. Wipster n00b. Joined Feb 17, Messages Hey, Nice work on this sofar, very tidy utility. Here is a comparison for me as I am also missing some voltages.
