Website Disclaimer

librehardwaremonitor.net is an independent, fan-made informational website dedicated to providing helpful resources about Libre Hardware Monitor, the open-source hardware monitoring tool. We created this site because we genuinely find Libre Hardware Monitor useful and want to help other users learn about it, set it up, and get the most out of its features.

This website is not the official Libre Hardware Monitor website. The official project is hosted on GitHub at github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor. All product names, logos, brands, and trademarks mentioned on this site are the property of their respective owners. We use these names strictly for identification and informational purposes.

No Affiliation or Association

To be completely clear: librehardwaremonitor.net has no official connection to the Libre Hardware Monitor project. We do not represent, speak for, or act on behalf of the Libre Hardware Monitor development team, its 262+ GitHub contributors, or any organization involved in the project.

The information we publish about Libre Hardware Monitor — including feature descriptions, system requirements, installation guides, and FAQ answers — is gathered from publicly available sources such as the official GitHub repository, release notes, community forums, and user discussions on Reddit. While we work to keep our content accurate, we are not an authoritative source for the software. For official documentation, bug reports, feature requests, or developer support, please visit the official GitHub repository.

Download & File Hosting Disclaimer

librehardwaremonitor.net does not host any Libre Hardware Monitor software files on our servers. All download links on this website point directly to the original source — specifically, the official GitHub Releases page for Libre Hardware Monitor.

We do not modify, repackage, alter, or redistribute any software files. The .zip archive you download (LibreHardwareMonitor-net472.zip) comes directly from the official GitHub repository maintained by the project’s development team.

Because we link to external sources, we cannot guarantee:

  • The continued availability of any download link
  • That external file hosting will remain unchanged
  • The integrity of files hosted on third-party platforms

We recommend that you always verify your downloads by checking the file hash against the values published on the official GitHub Releases page.
