seeking Windows 7 system monitor

mdagli1 · 19 Jun 2012 at 23:08

Just tried a whole bunch of gadgets and find them some what lacking in functionality. Visually excellent but customizing is becoming an issue and seeking something a bit more complete to give me what I need.

I'm looking to monitor the following:

CPU: core usage, core temps, core speeds, Intel(R) Turbo Boost ratios .A graph with all cores and has percentage labeled on the y axis.

RAM: total, free, used.

Fan speeds for all my fans that have been connected to the mobo sensors.

SSD Drive: a graph with the transfer rate labeled on the y axis during usage

GPU: clock shader & VRAM speeds, fan speeds, Vram usage, core temp, core usage. A graph with all cores and has percentage labeled on the y axis.

Network: a graph with the transfer rate labeled on the y axis during usage

Aida 64 should do all of that, free to try with limited functionality.

If you want it like Windows Gadgets check out Rainmeter. It's very customizable and you can get it to display pretty much anything you want. You can even check the tutorials to make your own Rainmeter theme if the ones out on the web doesn't meet your needs, or even change the ones to suit your needs.

Just been trying out the programs.

Aida 64 gives me about 80% of the option that I wanted but seem to missing things like HDD transfer rates. Customizing panel is good enough for what I want when positioning.

Rainmeter is overkill. Manually coding in the desired options instead of the graphical user interface is going to be way too time consuming...

I'll just give feedback to the developer for what I've got here as it's close enough for what I want to do with it.
