SIV (System Information Viewer) 5.79 Portable


System Information Viewer is a general Windows utility for displaying lots of useful Windows, Network and hardware info — CPU info, PCI info, PCMCIA info, USB info, Machine Info, Hardware Sensors, Networked computers, Operating System Information and more. I use Craig Hart's pcidevs.txt file for my PCI device display with my usbdevs.txt being used for the USB devices, mondevs.txt for monitor descriptions and pcmdevs.txt for PCMCIA device descriptions.

Libre Hardware Monitor 0.9.4


Libre Hardware Monitor is a fork of Open Hardware Monitor. The program's project appears to have started when the development of Open Hardware Monitor seemed to have stalled. The latter has received a few updates recently, after a gap of nearly 4 years. If you haven't used either program, these are real-time system monitoring applications that you can use to observe/log the system's CPU load, Bus Speed, temperature levels. It can be a useful utility to have when you're running intensive games, virtual machines editing videos,, etc., and want to see if the computer could be overheating.

Bitsum Technologies ThreadRacer Alpha Version



ThreadRacer is a CPU benchmark utility designed to test the relative performance of CPU cores. Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) for AMD, and Hyperthreading (HT) on Intel, accelerates processing by sharing select CPU units between two logical cores, or threads. This means that every pair of CPU cores has shared computational units and cache(s). This can impact performance. Threads should be loaded on distinct CPU core sets before their pairs are utilized, something all modern OSes are aware of. In some cases, it is still preferable to manually disable SMT/HT so that threads are forced to execute on more optimal CPU cores. Process Lasso can disable SMT/HT on a per-process basis by using staggered CPU affinities.

Tweaking.com Technicians Toolbox 1.2.0 | Portable



Tweaking.com — Technicians Toolbox is a collection of powerful tools to help both the technician and home users. Many of the tools have been built with making certain repair, cleanup and tasks easier, faster and better. More and more tools will be added to the program over time. Many of the tools have so many options, control and features that they could have been full programs on their own. But the goal was to have everything in one spot. Instead of repeating all of the tools and what they can do, you can view the online help for the program. You can also view the tips & tricks section of the help file to see a few of the little extra features added to the program.
