New Update BottleNeck

It`s pretty accurate here running on core i5/12gb ram with browser open and closed.

As a heads up on what`s going on resource wise, it`s a great little app.

Regards Eck:)

Hey guys, here is just a small update to BottleNeck. There were a couple of small bug fixes, like sometimes the values would exceed 100%. I also added a small icon next to the Close X button for Windows Task Manager. I figured if something was going haywire, the user might want to be able to quickly click to open the task manager.

Hi @danb, thank you so much for the nice tool.

Can I ask for some features to add if you don't mind?

Recently, a used Advanced SystemCare for a testing purpose and I liked its Performance Monitor so much, but I can't use it alone (I didn't like the product itself).

So I searched the web to find something similar, and I found Sidebar Diagnostics, but it is too much for me.

So, can you please make your tool a good alternative to Advanced SystemCare Performance Monitor by making it act as a widget and have more info?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the suggestions... we might add a few small features, but the main purpose of BottleNeck is to display the metrics in the system tray. If we add GPU, temps, etc., it could turn into a big mess because features like these are hardware dependent. But who knows, we might add a few new features, but either way I would like to keep it as simple as possible.
 
Hey guys, here is BottleNeck 2.05, there was a bug when the computer would wake from sleep and not have access to the SMART data, so it would show a message box, but it is fixed now. Thank you!
