[buildapc] How to log sensor data using HWiNFO64

A. Installing HWiNFO64

1. Download and install HWiNFO64.
2. Select sensors panel.

B. Configure HWiNFO64 to log sensor data to disk

1. Open HWiNFO64 sensors panel
2. Click on "Configure Sensors" (the cog icon)
3. Under General > Sensor Logging, enable the option "Write Direct to Disk (no buffering", then click "OK".

C. Log sensor data during a benchmark test

1. Click "Logging Start", then choose a location where the sensor readings will be saved in CSV file format.
2. Run the benchmark test.
3. When the benchmark test is done, click "Logging Stop". If the system crashes before the test is complete, reboot the system and proceed to the next step.
4. Upload the CSV file to any file sharing website and share the link.

Notes:

• By default, sensor data are temporarily stored in RAM (buffered) until you stop logging. If the PC crashes during the test, the logged data are lost. By enabling the "write direct to disk" option, the data is logged directly to the disk. If the system crashes in this case, the logged data is till preserved.
