HWiNFO v8.50 Adds NVIDIA RTX 5060 Support and Sensor Fixes

HWiNFO v8.50 arrives as a necessary update for PC builders tracking the latest hardware wave. The release adds support for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and Intel Arc Pro graphics, ensuring system monitors can read these new components. Users relying on accurate sensor data for diagnostics or tuning will find this patch essential for their current builds.

Expanded hardware compatibility and improved sensor monitoring for PC builders

The software update targets a wide range of new silicon and peripheral devices. It introduces specific support for the MPS MP2825 VR PWM controller and the Corsair HXi SHIFT power supply. The update also recognizes the Aqua Computer AMPINEL and the Maxsun 275HX, expanding the list of compatible hardware.

• New Hardware Support: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (GB205), Intel Arc Pro B65/B70, MPS MP2825 VR PWM Controller, Corsair HXi SHIFT PSU, Aqua Computer AMPINEL, Maxsun 275HX
• Sensor Improvements: GPU Power Limits (Max/Rated), iGPU/dGPU Auto-Distinction, NVMe Max Power, Page File Usage, DIMM SPD Write Protection
• Platform Fixes: Intel Xeon 6 Package Power, Intel Panther Lake D2D/NGU Clocks, Intel Active DDR5 Channels, ASRock X870/X870E Sensors

Sensor monitoring capabilities receive significant technical improvements in this version. GPU sensors now display both maximum and rated power limits, providing clearer insight into thermal headroom. The tool also auto-distinguishes between integrated and discrete GPUs, which prevents confusion in systems with multiple graphics processors.

Platform stability fixes address long-standing monitoring gaps on Intel and AMD systems. The update resolves CPU package power monitoring errors on Intel Xeon 6 processors. It also improves clock display for Intel Panther Lake and adds accurate detection for active DDR5 memory channels.

We looked at the last HWiNFO update while tracking NVIDIA launches. That previous release focused on beta features for handhelds, but this stable version prioritizes broad compatibility and sensor accuracy for desktop enthusiasts.
