Uma das ferramentas de monitoramento mais populares, graças em parte à quantidade de coisas além do hardware que pode ser monitorado, nos comentários foi o Rainmeter. Lee escreve:
I don’t really monitor my computer constantly, only when something is hanging up and I need to see what’s causing it.
That being said, I do have Rainmeter so I can quickly see how much RAM or CPU is being used. For anything more detailed, I just go into the task manager and sort by RAM or CPU.
O Shinigamibob usa uma gama mais ampla de ferramentas para obter uma visão mais detalhada dos aspectos de diferença do seu computador:
I use OpenHardware monitor to monitor all my hardware temperatures and loads. It even shows the various voltages on the motherboard – which come in very handy when I’m monitoring the overall stability of an overclock. For SSDs, it even shows the drive wear and life expectancy. It can also graph any sort of temperature data. Thats what I use 99% of the time – simple and elegant.
When I’m load testing or stability testing an overclock, its always the same couple tools. RealTemp and CPU-z. CPU-z has a lot more granular information than OpenHardwareMonitor does, but data that is only useful in a specific scenario. RealTemp is also very important in that it allows for the logging of temperature data. So even if I leave a load test running overnight and it happens to BSOD or reboot, I’ll always have the temperatures of each individual core.
When I’m gaming (the little that I do nowadays), its MSI Afterburner for GPU monitoring. The on screen overlay is incredibly useful in that the load, temperature, voltages, and fan speeds are shown directly on top of whatever game I’m playing. On top of that, it supports multiple cards just as well and shows if SLI or Corssfire is working properly (by checking the GPU usage and framerate). Its a small overlay on the corner of the screen so its never intrusive. More useful than Fraps for sure – the screen recording built has better utilization of CPU’s for better compression of video and wont eat up an entire disk for a 30 minute recording session (or cost you $35)
Most of those tools even have remote monitoring capabilities, but I prefer to use Mobile PC Monitor for that.
Nem todo mundo confia em uma infinidade de ferramentas de terceiros, no entanto, Frank fica muito bem (assim como muitos leitores) com o monitor básico do sistema operacional:
For personal/home use, Ctrl-Shift-Esc brings up Windows 7 Task Manager with CPU Usage and Physical Memory Usage at the bottom, and if I click on Processes tab, then CPU or Memory column header to sort largest first, I can quickly see if there’s a CPU or Memory hog – if not, it may be my modem overheating/slowing
For space, I use TreeSize Free to find the biggest files I can delete to free up space, I especially like the Portable version on my USB thumbdrives – otherwise My Computer shows drive size and free space no problems.
