When a PC runs hot, throttles under load or crashes during games, the first step is to see what the hardware is actually doing. HWiNFO reads hundreds of sensors and shows them live, which makes it a favourite of PC builders and overclockers.

What can HWiNFO do?

  • Detailed system summary: CPU, motherboard, memory, graphics card, drives and more, down to individual chip details.
  • Live sensors: Temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, clock speeds and power draw, with minimum, maximum and average values.
  • Logging: Record sensor data to a file while you play or run a stress test.
  • Reports: Save a full hardware report to share when asking for help.

How to download and install

  1. The Download button opens the official download page on hwinfo.com.
  2. Choose the Installer for a normal setup or Portable to run it from a folder or USB stick.
  3. On launch, pick Sensors-only to go straight to live readings, or open the full summary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HWiNFO free?

Yes, for non-commercial use. Using it commercially, for example in a business, requires the paid HWiNFO Pro license.

What is the difference between HWiNFO installer and portable?

The installer sets HWiNFO up like a normal program, while the portable version runs from a folder without installation. Both show the same information.
