AIDA64 is a powerful system information, diagnostics, and benchmarking tool for Windows operating systems. Developed by FinalWire Ltd., it provides detailed information about hardware and software components installed on a computer.
The program offers comprehensive system analysis, including information about the processor, motherboard, memory, storage devices, and other hardware components. It can also monitor system temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds in real-time.
AIDA64 is particularly useful for:
The software comes in several editions, including AIDA64 Extreme for home users and AIDA64 Engineer for professional use. It's widely used by PC enthusiasts, system administrators, and IT professionals to assess system performance and troubleshoot hardware issues.
One of its notable features is the ability to create custom LCD or LED panel displays showing real-time system information, making it popular among custom PC builders and overclockers.
