Martin HWiNFO Author Staff member May 13, 2015 #2 There are two options: 1. Either make a DOS bootable medium and use HWiNFO for DOS, or 2. Make a WinPE bootable medium and use HWiNFO32

A Alexko New Member May 13, 2015 #3 Thanks for the reply will HWiNFO for DOS reveal any issues, heat, noise etc?
Martin HWiNFO Author Staff member May 13, 2015 #4 It can report sensor information, but ehm, noise? It is also no longer maintained, so it doesn't support later systems.

Martin HWiNFO Author Staff member May 13, 2015 #6 For such PC I suggest to got with the WinPE option.
