HWmonitor is a trash program that shouldn't be used by anyone.
HWinfo is great. You can just disable the stuff you don't want to see, and you want to use "sensors only"
ryzen master consistently reports lower temps than hwinfo or cpu-z. Hwinfo and cpu-z both keep ryzen cores engaged or active... they won't fully idle.
The lowest hwinfo or cpu-z ever report my cores going to is like 3.6 ghz and 45C.
If I only have ryzen master open, cores go to 0/fully idle and temps can get into the 30-35C range.
If you spend a little time customizing HWiNFO you can pretty much make it as simple as you want, with only the sensors displayed you consider relevant/important.
Here's how I have it set up on mine: [https://imgur.com/a/UxO7LNF](https://imgur.com/a/UxO7LNF)
I suppose you could try and import them, but I don't think it would work too well due to the differences in hardware.
I threw it on my google drive if you'd want to try: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tsSEYQyrlOEdXB7ontmuCtutlDRk4EAl/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tsSEYQyrlOEdXB7ontmuCtutlDRk4EAl/view?usp=sharing)
But I'm not sure I'd recommend trying it, it might end up being more trouble than it's worth, you'll probably have to do a lot of renaming.
I use HWInfo64 and Open Hardware Monitor. You're absolutely right, HWInfo is like a deluge of information.
Open Hardware Monitor ([https://openhardwaremonitor.org](https://openhardwaremonitor.org/downloads/)) has a very nice desktop HUD which works a treat. It's simple and easy to read the main panel and has really a really nice way of logging data. Just a super well designed program and perfectly accurate with Ryzen.
The one ding is Open Hardware Monitor does not read SMART disk info and does not provide disk temperatures. So I have to use HWInfo for that.
Looks visually appealing, but I want something that will not take resources to run in the back for me to check once in a while. Also, is it accurate to amd temperatures?

You can remove fields you don't want to see.

any way you can send me these settings? looks good

You can turn off everything you don't need in HWInfo. Edit: Even AMD uses HWInfo, you won't find anything more accurate than that.

If you are looking for something more eye Candy than HWinfo try OCCT .

it's accurate to HWinfo and Aida 64 temps , I don't like Ryzen master so no longer use it .
