Argus Monitor has released version 7.3.4.3141, a utility designed to continuously monitor the health of computer components, specifically hard disks, CPU, and GPU. This lightweight program operates in the background, providing early warnings about potential drive failures by actively tracking S.M.A.R.T. attributes, unlike Windows, which only checks these values under crisis conditions. Argus Monitor can predict failures with a probability of up to 70%, allowing users time to back up their data before issues arise.
Key features include constant monitoring of temperatures and S.M.A.R.T. health, graphical representations of data for HDDs, SSDs, and CPUs, and the ability to track CPU frequencies. It is particularly beneficial for users with older hard drives, builders and tinkerers who need to manage temperatures during intensive tasks, and those who use swappable SATA drives.
The licensing model requires users to purchase a product key after a trial period, providing a 3-year license that includes updates and new versions. While some may view the paid aspect as a drawback, it is considered reasonable given the tool’s functionality and focus on performance without unnecessary extras.
Argus Monitor is ideal for anyone needing reliable system monitoring without the clutter, making it a valuable addition for managing computer health.
Extensions:
Beyond the basic monitoring functions, Argus Monitor could benefit from additional features such as integration with cloud storage services to automate backups upon detecting potential failures. Future updates might also include enhanced predictive analytics using machine learning to better anticipate issues based on historical data. Furthermore, expanding compatibility to other operating systems like macOS or Linux could broaden its user base. Overall, Argus Monitor stands out in the market for its simplicity and effectiveness, making it a go-to choice for anyone serious about maintaining their hardware
