The monitoring of any sensor can be disabled by pressing Del when it's highlighted, or by right-clicking and selecting "Disable monitoring". But I didn't disable monitoring any sensors. I've let HWiNFO show each one I mentioned as a separate icon in the system tray. In the sensors window click...

Yes, I have HWiNFO running all the time. I have added the most important temperature sensors - CPU, chipset, GPU and all 3 drives - to the tray notification area (TNA aka system tray) so that I can see them at a glance. That's something SpeedFan can't do, but Motherboard Monitor did back in the...

Well, CPUs and motherboards tend to do that on their own these days - and I count increased power limits as overclocking. Hard to say. It depends on many factors, e.g. the paste used, the environment the system is in (dry, humid, hot, cold, clean or dusty etc.) and how many heat cycles it has...

Hm, I don't know why the CPU Package Temp is more than 10°C higher than the CPU Core temps, although I'm well aware that a CPU has not just cores but other parts that can get hot. But it could be normal for Intel CPUs, I don't know, because I'm lacking experience with Intel CPUs ;). Anyway...

When just watching a video leads to such high temperatures, it means that the CPU cooling is insufficient. Ths could be due to an improperly mounted CPU cooler. Did you peel off the plastic from the coldplate before mounting the cooler? Does HWiNFO state in its sensors window that the CPU is...

It's pretty easy to understand, but I admit that it's not as easy (especially for beginners) to dig through the contradicting pieces of information around the web about memory speeds. See these posts: https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/hwinfo-shows-half-ram-speed.6042/post-22913...

Did you try to delete the hwinfo64.ini? In your first video I can see that it's encoded as UTF-8, maybe with BOM. This encoding isn't supported for INI files as far as I'm aware.

My guess is that the root certificate is there on your Win7 system (it's from 2011), but the intermediate cert is missing (that's from 2021). To see if the Root CA is there start certmgr.msc and look under Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates if you have "Certum Trusted Network...

RunAsSpc is a program similar to RunAs Professional, and IIRC the former is free while the latter is shareware. It's also possible to run HWiNFO via Scheduled Tasks. Once a task is created it can be run from a user account, e.g. via schtasks.exe. And btw, HWiNFO uses this option to...

@inbetweener You do know that you can run HWiNFO - or any other software, for that matter - under a different user account which has administrator privileges, while still running ordinary programs like a browser, games or whatever in a limited account, right? All of my systems have a strict...

Windows has a mechanism of automatically updating root certificates and that is independent from Windows Update. If a program needs to verify digital signatures (which might be the case here) it needs to be able to build up a certificate chain, up to the Root CA if necessary. Windows 7 is old...

According to the import table HWiNFO64 8.0 depends on four more modules: d2d2.dll, dwrite.dll, tdh.dll and pdh.dll. If you copy/integrate these into WinPE it should work. That is, unless one or more of these DLLs depend on other DLLs which are missing on WinPE. [ADD] It looks like most of these...

HWiNFO isn't a service that starts without a user being logged on. You can change the scheduled task it creates to run independently of user logon, but then you won't see windows or tray icons from HWiNFO, i.e. it only makes sense for remote monitoring.

It won't work via the Task Scheduler. It's not designed to execute programs under a different user on the current user's desktop. You can achieve what you want by doing either of the following: Run runas.exe with the appropriate switches and add the /savecred switch. Reports of success are...

Correct. More or less any software to put all cores under full load will do; though a game is not suited for such a task unless it fully loads all cores. It can be a program running under Windows but a Live system can also be used, e.g. with the stress command or similar. Could be a faulty...

Sure, one of them is named in this thread https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/explaining-the-amd-ryzen-power-reporting-deviation-metric-in-hwinfo.6456/ CineBench, but you can also use Prime95, OCCT or something similar. However, I suggest you ignore the Power Reporting Deviation (for now) and...

NB: The second VirusTotal link says that it scanned an HTML file (31.25 KB in size), probably the one contaning the download link. It's not the same as scanning the downloaded EXE file. That explains the difference.

PCIe 3.0 has a maximum bandwith of 8 GT/s per lane. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pcie#Comparison_table What you see in the BIOS is the lane count (number of lanes), which is typically x16 for GPUs but may also be lower - x8 or even x4 - for lower-end cards. Regards Dalai

Maybe enable "Show Welcome Screen" option.

Open HWiNFO's main window and then use the Report menu item or the "Save Report" button on the toolbar. If you set HWiNFO to open only the Summary or Sensors window upon start, you need to temporarily disable this option. Regards Dalai
