## What it is
Libre Hardware Monitor is a free, open-source Windows application that monitors temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load, and clock speeds of CPUs, GPUs, motherboards, drives, and network cards. It also ships LibreHardwareMonitorLib, a .NET library that lets developers embed the same hardware-sensor reading features in their own applications.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu and gpu temperatures on windows
- check fan speeds and voltages of my pc
- read sensor data from motherboard in a c# application
- track clock speeds and system load
- monitor nvme ssd and hard drive temperatures
- replace hwmonitor with an open-source alternative

## When to choose
- you need free, open-source hardware sensor monitoring on Windows
- you want to programmatically read hardware sensors from a .NET application via NuGet
- you need support for a wide range of motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, and drives

## When to avoid
- you need monitoring on Linux or macOS rather than Windows
- you need remote or distributed infrastructure monitoring rather than local hardware sensors
- you need a cross-platform GUI monitoring tool

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, gui
- domain: developer-tools, windows, hardware
- platform: windows, dotnet
- tags: hardware-monitoring, temperature-sensors, fan-speed, system-information, open-source-fork, nuget-library, desktop
