HWiNFO is an all-in-one hardware analysis and monitoring solution that supports a wide range of operating systems (DOS, Microsoft Windows 95 – Windows 11, WinPE) and platforms (i8086 – Xeon Platinum).

Is HWiNFO CPU and GPU temperature accurate?

Yes, HWiNFO data is reliable and accurate and will tell you everything it can about your computer. The information is divided into 3 windows: a system summary, a full report and active sensor readings.

Can HWiNFO control fans?

Technically, yes, HWiNFO shows you real-time data about hardware components and allows you to manually control fan speeds. However, you must use this feature carefully. HWiNFO was primarily designed to display system information. If you want to control CPU and GPU fan speeds, you should take a look at SpeedFan or FanControl, which are specialized tools, both are free and have been extensively tested.

Is HWiNFO compatible with Windows 7?

Yes, HWiNFO is compatible with Windows 7. Depending on your operating system, you should choose the corresponding HWiNFO version. HWiNFO32 is compatible with Windows 95 32-bit and later, HWiNFO64 is compatible with Windows XP 64-bit and later. There is also a DOS compatible version.

What are good alternatives to HWiNFO?

Two solid options are Speccy and Open Hardware Monitor, which are also free and easy to use. You should also check out our feature on apps to analyze and monitor your PC.
