Versions:
RIGStats is a free, open-source hardware monitoring application developed by codeby.se for Windows gaming PCs, currently available at version 1.38.0 with five released versions to date. Distributed under the MIT license, the software is designed for systems equipped with a dedicated secondary display, where it presents real-time information about the CPU, GPU, RAM, network, disk, motherboard, and running processes. Users can arrange this data across portrait, landscape, and floating panel layouts, allowing the monitoring interface to fit a variety of secondary screen configurations commonly found in enthusiast gaming setups. RIGStats aggregates sensor data from three complementary sources rather than relying solely on standard operating system counters. LibreHardwareMonitor provides kernel-level readings such as temperatures, clock speeds, power draw, and fan speeds, while the sysinfo crate supplies CPU load, disk I/O, network throughput, and process-level information. WMI contributes hardware identification details, including the GPU model, RAM specification, battery status, and system brand. As a result of this multi-source approach, the application can display granular metrics such as per-core clock frequencies, GPU hot-spot temperature, D3D engine workloads, DDR5 DIMM temperature, and NVMe storage temperature. These capabilities make RIGStats a relevant tool within the hardware monitoring and system information category, particularly for gamers, overclockers, and PC enthusiasts who want continuous visibility into system health and performance while playing or stress-testing their machines. The software places emphasis on privacy and local operation: it includes no telemetry, requires no user accounts, and performs no cloud synchronization, so all collected sensor data remains on the user's own machine. Because the project is open source under the permissive MIT license, its codebase can be inspected, modified, and redistributed by anyone, which also allows technically inclined users to verify the absence of data collection and adapt the monitoring layouts or sensor handling to their own requirements.
