Displays pertinent info about system hardware components on the desktop.

Sidebar Diagnostics is a utility that displays information and diagnostics on the components of your computer directly on the desktop. The sidebar with a very sober look is responsible for displaying the time, as well as a detailed report on the use of the various components of the PC.

Quick access to important data about system components

In addition to presenting information about the desktop's CPU, RAM, GPU, network, and active drives, one of its biggest advantages is its high degree of customization. Depending on the user's preferences, it can be placed on a specific part of the screen, either on the right or left side. Also, you can freely modify the sidebar width, background color, fonts, degree of opacity, and UI scale factor.

Sidebar Diagnostics thus displays the rate of use of the processor and its various cores, the amount of RAM used, statistics on the use of the graphics processor or even the speed of the network connection.

In conclusion

Sidebar Diagnostics is the ideal companion to a PC system. It is very easy to use and displays hardware information in a more streamlined and elegant way. With its help, the user can efficiently and effortlessly monitor the status of his computer in real time and display the most important information on his screen. From the moment of installation, configuration and customization, everything will work perfectly.
