EVERYONE should try this FREE utility NOW! [NOT SPONSORED]

A lot of people saying "what about HWInfo 64?" - that's fair question. Its not something I have used in a long time and maybe its time to see. What Im looking for is very useful CSVs and something that doesnt cause any hit to resources when logging. I dont know if I would fall under "commercial" as far as they are concerned using it in my videos, but I will see what they say.

9:58 "So even MSI Afterburner does not show Hotspot. That's important, too. Because that's a hidden value..." And that my friends, is the exact reason why MSI AB does not show Hotspot temperatures. It is a hidden value and MSI AB is bound to official sensors only due to licensing. But if you use the accompanied RTSS to create your OSD you can monitor the GPU hotspot with "GPU temperature 2". RTSS is not bound to that official MSI Licence (under Nvidia scrutiny) and therefor can provide that sensor data.

Thanks Jay. I'm an Excel jockey for a living. If you have a number it will be right aligned in a cell/column. If that column is not wide enough to display the number then you will see ####### in the cell as you saw. You can double click the header border between that column and the one to the right to autofit the column width. As to Y axis on charts I wouldn't say every chart should have 0 as the lower limit. It depends on the data. For example, if you have values between 100,000 and 101,000 and the min on the Y axis is 0 you chart line is going to be essentially flat making any movement over time imperceivable. Where as if the Y axis is 99,000 to 102,000 you will see the line move up/down over the X axis values. That's why Excel (and many charting packages) will try and predict/automate the lower/upper range on the Y axis so that they line(s) have some perceivable movement up/down across time.

most of the time I'm guilty of being a touch cynical of Jay, but I am humbled, on occasion by these style videos. Jay definitely deserves his corner of the internet IMO. many thanks for your addition to the community.

When you see hashes in a spreadsheet you have too many characters on the cell.

Jay, as a developer who deals with QA analysts/teams on a daily basis I cringe a little when you say "I need you guys that are smarter than me yada yada" because it takes A LOT of brain power to figure out how anyone could screw the entire software experience by doing something us devs and product managers could not predict... So I have A LOT of respect for what you all have to say... Please don't belittle yourself! I cannot and will not be in the foreseeable future capable of doing what a QA professional is capable of doing as stated on the job description!

Everyone that tries this should donate $2 to the dev.... That would give him incentive to do some of the upgrades Jay was mentioning. (Dark mode, plot changes, shift click select, etc). Edit: apparently github sponsors have a min of $2. Originally suggested $1.

Fan Control is amazing and fixed all my stupid issues on one settings screen where bios and manufacturer software is lacking or failing

And regarding Dark Modes, they're not only friendly to your eyes, they also extend your monitor's lifetime and yet improve you energy bill. That said, Dark Mode should be a must option for EVERYTHING these days..

Finally! Thanks for finding this. Usage Tip: You can hover over either side of the graph and use the scroll wheel to adjust the graph. Also right click and/or arrow keys to move it around.

Thank you jay for the knowledge you have been giving me I’m new to the pc world and I have been watching you for about a month now I’m building my first pc soon and have been relying on your info to guide me.

Another improvment on Libre would be to be able to reorder the sensor displays. I would want CPU at the top, followed by GPU, etc. Also, dark mode is a necessity in all software. I will happily stay with HWinfo if only for the comfort factor.

I'm just sitting here watching Jay explaining in painstaking detail how to download something from Github and thinking "lol who'd fuck something like that up?" when I remember Linus.

Every bit of software JTC recommends is basically mandatory for anyone that cares about their PC Playlist for all the videos would be cool

The fan software was definitely not clickbait. I have been using that since you did your video. Its on 3 PC's in my house and works flawlessly on all. I even donated to the dev.

The one must have for me is CTT’s Windows utility.

I will never hear TJ Max without thinking of the TJ Maxx theme song. As much as I wish I would and could.

I totally was looking for this! Perfect timing! Thank you!

I still use the Fan Control software you recommended a while back, it's outrageously good.

Heres a tip, if you use the spacebar and arrow keys you can select much faster than using the mouse, although I still agree a shift click would help!
