CPU-Z is a freeware that gathers information
on some of the main devices of your system.

PC WIZARD

http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php

PC WIZARD 2008 is a powerful utility designed
especially for detection of hardware, but also some
more analysis. It’s able to identify a large scale of
system components and supports the latest
technologies and standards. This tool is periodically
updated (usually once per month) in order to provide
most accurate results.
============================

PerfMonitor

http://www.cpuid.com/perfmonitor.php

PerfMonitor is a processor performance monitoring tool.
It allows to track the frequency of 4 events choosen in a
set of model-specific list. PerfMonitor can be used to
identify the performance bottlenecks of a system, or to
monitor a program for cache-miss rate or mis-predicted
branches. But PerfMonitor can also be used as a
hardware-level CPU comparison tool, comparing the key
parameters of different CPUs runnning the same benchmark.
=============================

HWMonitor

http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php

HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads
PC systems main health sensors : voltages, temperatures,
fans speed. The program handles the most common sensor
chips, like ITE(R) IT87 series, most Winbond(R) ICs, and others.
In addition, it can read modern CPUs on-die core thermal
sensors, as well has hard drives temperature via S.M.A.R.T,
and video card GPU temperature. Special hardware monitors
such as abit(R) uGuru and Gigabyte(R) ODIN™ power supplies
serie are supported too.
