Versions:
winmon 0.7.0 by ailuntx is a lightweight, open-source Windows terminal hardware monitor engineered for users who need instant, text-based insight into the thermal and electrical behavior of Intel CPUs and NVIDIA discrete GPUs. Launched from any command prompt or PowerShell window, the program immediately paints a real-time TUI dashboard that lists per-core frequencies, package temperatures, power draw, and GPU utilization without spawning a traditional GUI, making it ideal for overclockers, benchmarkers, and remote admins who want to watch silicon health while another application runs full-screen. Beyond the default curses interface, winmon can be switched into pipe mode to emit comma-separated values for logging or further analysis, debug mode for verbose sensor enumeration, and serve mode that binds a local HTTP endpoint so that another machine can poll metrics with curl or Grafana’s JSON datasource. Because the executable is single-file and portable, it fits easily into USB toolkits, automation scripts, or CI benches that validate thermals after firmware updates. The 0.7.0 release, the first public build, already recognizes Rocket Lake, Alder Lake, and Raptor Lake micro-architectures as well as Turing, Ampere, and Ada Lovelace GPU boards, relying on Intel’s PCM and NVIDIA’s NVML for direct register access rather than WMI, thereby avoiding the polling delays common to generic monitoring applets. winmon is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
