LibreHardwareMonitor

#LibreHardwareMonitor

Libre Hardware Monitor is free software that can monitor the temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of your computer.

#What's included?

Name	Build Status
LibreHardwareMonitorLib Library that allows you to use all features in your own application
LibreHardwareMonitor.Windows.Forms Windows Forms based application that presents all data in a graphical interface
LibreHardwareMonitor.Avalonia Avalonia based application that presents all data in a graphical interface In development, not recommended yet

#What can it do?

You can read information from devices such as:

• Motherboards
• Intel and AMD processors
• NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics cards
• HDD, SSD and NVMe hard drives
• Network cards

#Where can I download it?

You can download the latest release here.

#Nightly builds

If you have a GitHub account, you can download nightly builds here.

Otherwise, you can download the latest nightly build here (Windows.Forms) or here (Avalonia).

#How can I help improve it?

The LibreHardwareMonitor team welcomes feedback and contributions!
You can check if it works properly on your motherboard. For many manufacturers, the way of reading data differs a bit, so if you notice any inaccuracies, please send us a pull request. If you have any suggestions or improvements, don't hesitate to create an issue.

#Which .NET versions are supported?

#Developer information

Integrate the library in own application

1. Add the LibreHardwareMonitorLib NuGet package to your application.
2. Use the sample code below.

Sample code

Computer computer = new Computer
{
    IsCpuEnabled = true,
    IsGpuEnabled = true,
    IsMemoryEnabled = true,
    IsMotherboardEnabled = true,
    IsControllerEnabled = true,
    IsNetworkEnabled = true,
    IsStorageEnabled = true,
    IsPowerMonitorEnabled = true,
};

computer.Open();
computer.Accept(new UpdateVisitor());

foreach (IHardware hardware in computer.Hardware)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Hardware: {0}", hardware.Name);
    
    foreach (IHardware subhardware in hardware.SubHardware)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\tSubhardware: {0}", subhardware.Name);
        
        foreach (ISensor sensor in subhardware.Sensors)
            Console.WriteLine("\t\tSensor: {0}, value: {1}", sensor.Name, sensor.Value);
    }

    foreach (ISensor sensor in hardware.Sensors)
        Console.WriteLine("\tSensor: {0}, value: {1}", sensor.Name, sensor.Value);
}

computer.Close();

public class UpdateVisitor : IVisitor
{
    public void VisitComputer(IComputer computer) => computer.Traverse(this);

    public void VisitHardware(IHardware hardware)
    {
        hardware.Update();
        foreach (IHardware subHardware in hardware.SubHardware)
            subHardware.Accept(this);
    }

    public void VisitSensor(ISensor sensor) { }

    public void VisitParameter(IParameter parameter) { }
}

Administrator rights

Some sensors require administrator privileges to access the data. Restart your IDE with admin privileges, or add an app.manifest file to your project with requestedExecutionLevel on requireAdministrator.
