Core Temp

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:20:18 GMT

Core Temp is a compact, no fuss, small footprint program to monitor CPU temperature.

The uniqueness of it is that it shows the temperature of each individual core in a each processor in your system! You can see in real time how the CPU temperature varies when you load your CPU.

Intel and AMD recently published detailed, public information about the "DTS" (Digital Thermal Sensor), which provides much higher accuracy and more relevant temperature reading than the standard thermal diode sensors do. (How it works).

This feature is supported on all Intel Core and Core 2 series of processors as well as the whole AMD´s AMD64 line of CPUs. (for a full list of supported CPUs: (CPU Support List).

Core Temp also has a logging feature, allowing a user to easily record the temperature of his processor(s) over any period of time, then the data can be easily transfered into an excel datasheet for easy graphing.

SpeedFan

SpeedFan monitors fan speeds, temperatures and voltages in computers with hardware monitor chips. It can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. It can even change the FSB on some hardware. At the lowest level, it is a hardware monitor software, but its main feature is that it can control fan speeds according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise and power consumption.

What's New in version 4.40:

improved identification of Winbond W83667HG
W83667HG has its own support code now
W83667HG PWM MODE settings now work properly and can be used to change fan speeds
fixed a minor bug in temperature readings of EMCT03
fully included data from TPWS002 Intel Document about Tjmax values
added support for ADP3228 fan reading
AdvSmart no longer links a drive if SMART data has bad checksums

PC Wizard

Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:37:37 GMT

PC Wizard 2009 is a powerful utility designed especially for detection of hardware, but also some more analysis. It?s able to identify a large scale of system components and supports the latest technologies and standards. This tool is periodically updated (usually once per month) in order to provide most accurate results.

PC Wizard 2009 is also a utility designed to analyze and benchmark your computer system. It can analyze and benchmark many kinds of hardware, such as CPU performance, Cache performance, RAM performance, Hard Disk performance, CD/DVD-ROM performance, Removable/FLASH Media performance, Video performance, MP3 compression performance.

What's New in version 2010.1.94:

Sun VirtualBox virtual machine detection support
Intel Celeron 3400 processor support
Intel Pentium E6600, E5400, E5300 processors support
Fintek F75334DG sensor preliminary support

AMD Sempron M1, Turion II M5/M6 and Ahtlon II M3 processors preliminary support
Intel Core i3 Mobile processors support
AMD Hudson-2 Southbridge preliminary support
ATI GPU activity monitoring support
Intel IMC Memory Rank Temperature support
nVIDIA GT305, GT310, GT335, GT350 and GT360 video cards support
Nuvoton W83627DHG-P, W83667HG-B and W83677HG-I
USB 3.0 detection support
Microsoft Browser Choice detection support

Disk Bench

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:24:43 GMT

How fast are my disks really? Disk Bench will test your hard drive speed in a real life situation not in a benchmarking environment.

All it does is copies a file from A to B, times the time it took, and deletes the file from B again.

The other way to benchmark is to choose Create File. This way it just creates a file (consisting of a repeated 128 byte string). So if you only have one harddisk, this is the optimal test for you. Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

HeavyLoad

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:29:09 GMT

Heavyload is intended to stress all resources of a PC (like CPU, RAM, harddisk, network, operating system, etc.) in order to test, if it will run reliable under heavy load. This is useful for testing important NT file or database servers before using them productively, or just to check if your new PC might get too hot when used intensively.

To stress your PC or server, HeavyLoad writes a large test-file to the temp folder, it allocates physical and virtual memory and it draws patterns in its window.
