# LibreHardwareMonitor
[](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/blob/master/LICENSE) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/LibreHardwareMonitorLib/) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/LibreHardwareMonitorLib/) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/LibreHardwareMonitorLib/)
Libre Hardware Monitor, a fork of Open 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| .NET | Build Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **LibreHardwareMonitor**
Windows Forms based application that presents all data in a graphical interface | .NET Framework 4.7.2 | [](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/actions) |
| **LibreHardwareMonitorLib**
Library that allows you to use all features in your own application | .NET Framework 4.7.2, .NET 6.0, and .NET 8.0 | [](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/actions) |
## What can it do?
You can read information from devices such as:
- Motherboards
- Intel and AMD processors
- NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards
- HDD, SSD and NVMe hard drives
- Network cards
## Where can I download it?
You can download the latest release [here](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/releases).
### Nightly builds
If you have a **GitHub** account, you can download nightly builds [here](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/actions). Otherwise, you can download the *latest* nightly build [here](https://nightly.link/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/workflows/master/master/LibreHardwareMonitor-net472.zip).
## 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.
## Developer information
**Integrate the library in own application**
1. Add the [LibreHardwareMonitorLib](https://www.nuget.org/packages/LibreHardwareMonitorLib/) NuGet package to your application.
2. Use the sample code below.
**Sample code**
```c#
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) { }
}
public void Monitor()
{
Computer computer = new Computer
{
IsCpuEnabled = true,
IsGpuEnabled = true,
IsMemoryEnabled = true,
IsMotherboardEnabled = true,
IsControllerEnabled = true,
IsNetworkEnabled = true,
IsStorageEnabled = 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();
}
```
**Administrator rights**
Some sensors require administrator privileges to access the data. Restart your IDE with admin privileges, or add an [app.manifest](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sbscs/application-manifests) file to your project with requestedExecutionLevel on requireAdministrator.
