8 Best SpeedFan Alternatives for Computers for Windows and Mac
Do you have the opinion that there’s nothing wrong with spending a few bucks for a functional PC tool? Well, Argus Monitor is paid. However, you won’t have to purchase a licence right away. Instead, they offer a 30-day evaluation period so that you can get a gist of what the software has.

7 Best Speedfan Alternatives for 2023
I hope I could convince you that there are Speedfan alternatives, and some of them are free. Of the two paid applications, I’d prefer AIDA64 Extreme over Argus Monitor because the former offers the ability to run stress tests on your computer. If that’s not of interest to you, the cheaper Argus Monitor is a good choice.

  • Give Wayland a shot, don't base your opinion off of 2013 articles!
    Funny meme btw. Personally, I use xorg with 3 displays. Fortunately, the resolution is same on all screens (full HD). I use Komorebi for live wallpapers and conky for sidebar. It works flawlessly. Source: 12 months ago
  • Issue in hyprland
    If you are using Wayland, then you may want to do some searches related to "wayland conky transparency" and see what results. Also, if you are using wayland, you will want to be sure you are using the latest possible version of conky, as close to 1.18.x or 1.19.2 as possible, as wayland support is a relatively new addition to conky.
