HWiNFO32 and HWiNFO64 v4.16 released

[DefStar]

That might be caused by reading values from some sensors, especially of the EC-type (like ASUS EC, DELL EC), or certain SATA/RAID drivers when asking them for drive temperature (SMART).
HWiNFO itself doesn't cause such high system load, it's just the design/implementation of some sensors.
Try to disable those sensors (right-click + Disable Monitoring) and it should be OK..
Let me know if that won't help.

You are absolutely correct. Enableing the inbedded Asus (EC) controller on my Maximus v Gene motherboard was the root of the problem...HWinfo even warns that the sensor may cause instability...is this because of the sensor itself (its a buggy/junky sensor), or just because of lack of documentation on this sensor (its Asus proprietary part you have no data on)? I love how all the data is right there, I love its simplicity, but a sleek/flashy look will make it cooler.

Thanks, sorry to waste your time if its just a cheap-o sensor Asus uses that you cannot do anything about.

P.S. Really nice program, I have a BS in computer science and program myself. A nice clean "modern" looking GUI would do a-lot marketing wise...you know make it look cool so newbies will want to install it (similar to the revamped riva-tuner aka. Afterburner). I noticed most programs get a GUI overhaul when some mo-bo or video card manufacturer picks up the software, and then all the sudden everyone want to use it.
