Top Picks: Hardware Utilities

Below are the current top picks for freeware Hardware Utilities for Windows. Choices were made based on features and usability.

. CPU-Z is a freeware utility that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system.

. GPU-Z is a lightweight utility designed to give you all information about your video card and GPU.

. SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. SpeedFan supports SCSI disks too.

. USB Disk Ejector is a program that allows you to quickly remove USB devices in Windows. It was originally designed to remove only USB pen drives but will now eject any USB device. It can be run as a non-visual command line program or a normal GUI program.
