Agreed, and the 90s animated mouse cursor wizard thing is pretty lame Last time I saw one of those, the rest of the website was in comic sans

Yes, I'm not a fan of the wizard either. To run the program without the wizard, make a shortcut to the executable with the switch " /nowizard " or " -nowizard ". ex. If you had the program unzipped in a folder called " SIV " on the root of C: and you were using the x64 version of SIV, the Target under the Shortcut Properties Page would look like this: C:\siv\SIV64X.exe /nowizard or C:\siv\SIV64X.exe -nowizard

This is the list of switches that can be used SIV. Please note that this list indicates that you should use the " - " sign before the actual switch. The programmer may have changed his mind or didn't want to bother listing both options. In any case " /nowizard " or " -nowizard " disables the wizard. -NOACPI |G|Do not use or allow [ACPI HAL] and [ACPI Eval] operations (Default is -ACPI) -ADAPTERS |H|Replace the [Modems] button with the [Adapters] button -NOASYNC |G|Do not use Asynchronous mode for the [Network] panels (Default is -ASYNC) -NOBALLOON |G|Do not display Balloon Tool Tips (Default is -BALLOON) -BLUE |H|Replace the [Modems] button with the [Bluetooth] button -NOCOLOUR |G|Do not use Coloured blobs in menus (Default is -COLOUR) -CRLCTL |H|Enable SIV64X to control Corsair Link Devices (Default is -NOCRLCTL) -DELL |H|Enable use of the Dell BIOS Sensor Interface (Default is -NODELL) -NODIMMS |G|Do not monitor the DIMM Temperature Status (Default is -DIMMS) -DIRECT |H|Do Direct PCI Access rather than via the Windows HAL.

This has no real impact on most systems, but to use SIV V5 on W7 you need KB3033929 installed and on Vista x64 to disable Driver Signature Verification. Added support for Windows 10 V10.00 Build 10074. Enabled operation of [ACPI HAL], [ACPI Buses], [ACPI Eval] and [ACPI Ports]. Resolved race condition when -CRLCTL is being used that causes intermittent issues on some systems.

Added initial Intel Core i7 (Broadwell-H) and Intel Atom (Braswell) reporting. Added ASRock Z97 OC Formula, ASUS MAXIMUS VII GENE, P8B75, P8Z77-V, Gigabyte Z97X-UD3, MSI MS-7881, Supermicro H8DMU and X10DAX motherboard support.

SIV 5.25 has just been released. Still a little cumbersome but the information that it can present to you is astonishing. http://rh-software.com/ < Home page http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/System-Information-Viewer.shtml < Softpedia site with description, explanation and pictures of the program. New in System Information Viewer (SIV) 5.25: Windows 10 RS4 Build 17035 support. Enabled operation of [ACPI HAL], [ACPI Buses], [ACPI Eval] and [ACPI Ports]. Use different colours for Lowest + Normal + Turbo CPU speeds + power levels and Cool + Warm + Hot for Disk Drive + DIMM + CPU/GPU Core temperatures. The default colours and trigger points can be changed using [Highlight Setup] (Menu->Tools->Configure->Highlight Setup). Added a few more colour blob colours and Red + Yellow + Green + Blue + White sub-menus for colour selection. Improved Intel Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) + Coffee Lake GPU reporting. Improved shell restart and autorun processing especially so on Windows 10 RS3 and later. Update the timezone when it changes.

SIV Version 5.26 released on 14-Dec-2017 http://rh-software.com/ < Home page New in System Information Viewer (SIV) 5.26 released on 14-Dec-2017 Windows 10 RS4 Build 17046 support. Enabled operation of [ACPI HAL], [ACPI Buses], [ACPI Eval] and [ACPI Ports]. Added highlighting support for GPU Clock Speeds + Power, CPU + GPU Core Voltages, etc.. See the [Highlight Setup] and [Colour Setup] panels. Added a few more colour blobs which can be user defined via the [Colour Names] (Menu->Help->Colour Names) panel, Export/Import RGB Colour Names and RGB Colour Setups which implicitly enables Hot Key switching. Enhanced [View Menus] to be width resizable, use the Left/Clickable Text colour for the headings which have popup sub-menus. Added plots + the power source to [CPU Speed Ratios] and make the panel width resizable by dragging the edge. With just SIV active systems typically run at the minimum speed over 99% of the time (CPU-0 to CPU-10), but other utilities usually cause higher speeds to be used (CPU-12 to CPU-22). Ideally any monitoring utility should not cause CPUs to keep speeding up. Updated [CPU Usage] + [CPU Stress] to be width resizable, run the Whetstone benchmark and improved the plots. Added support to force the V0.4.173 CLCP fan type from [Link Fans] by Left/Clicking on the fan type blob. Added Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 7 motherboard support.
