RIGStats

RIGStats is a free, open-source hardware monitor built specifically for Windows gaming PCs with a secondary display. Instead of an overlay that covers your game or a browser-based dashboard, RIGStats runs as a native Windows app on a dedicated side screen — portrait strip, landscape bar, or individual floating panels scattered across any monitor.

It reads sensor data from three sources: LibreHardwareMonitor (kernel-level temps, clocks, power, fan speeds), the Windows sysinfo API (CPU load, RAM, disk I/O, network throughput, processes), and WMI (GPU model, RAM spec, battery, system brand). That means per-core CPU clocks, GPU hot-spot temperature, D3D engine workload, DDR5/DDR4 DIMM temperature, and NVMe temperature — not just what Task Manager exposes.

Eleven live panels cover CPU, GPU, RAM, network, storage, motherboard, processes, battery, system power, clock, and system identity. Seven are shown by default; the rest are opt-in. Each panel shows a sparkline history so you see trends at a glance, not just a single value. Configurable warning and critical temperature thresholds trigger Windows tray notifications when a component runs hot.

Three display modes: portrait (a single vertical panel stack on a portrait side display), landscape (the same panels arranged in an adaptive grid on a wide display bar), and floating (each panel is an independent draggable always-on-top window you can place anywhere). Multiple display profiles let you target displays of different sizes. Positions and panel visibility persist across restarts.

The app ships with a colour theme selector, auto-detected gaming brand logos (ROG, MSI, Alienware, Legion, OMEN, Razer, Predator, AORUS, and more), silent background updates, a live-preview settings dialog, and a status window showing dependency health, GPU driver versions, and a debug log. No accounts. No cloud. No telemetry.
