Nexus Optimus · Monitoring for Windows

See what your PC is really doing. In real time.

Live CPU and GPU temps, fan speeds, and memory — read straight from your hardware, with safe cleanup and a gaming mode built in.

Nexus Optimus is a Windows performance and monitoring utility that reads real hardware sensors through a signed driver and puts them on live gauges. A full System Specs tab tells you exactly what is inside your machine, safe cleanup reclaims resources, and gaming and streaming modes keep everything focused when frames and bitrate matter.

For gamers, streamers, and power users who keep their own machines running fast and cool.

Open beta · free while testing · Windows 10 & 11

What it does

Monitoring, specs, cleanup, and a get-out-of-the-way mode for gaming and streaming — one lightweight app, no bloat.

Monitoring

Real sensor readings, not guesses

Nexus Optimus reads your hardware directly through a signed kernel driver — the actual numbers your motherboard reports, refreshed live.

  • CPU + GPU temperatures pulled straight from the sensors
  • Fan speeds in RPM, per fan header
  • Memory usage, load, and clock speeds in real time
  • Live gauges with color thresholds so trouble is obvious at a glance
  • Signed driver — no sketchy unsigned kernel hacks

System Specs

Everything about your machine, one tab

A clean, complete inventory of the hardware and OS inside your PC — the answer to every "what do I actually have?" question.

  • CPU, GPU, motherboard, and BIOS details
  • RAM modules, sizes, speeds, and slots in use
  • Storage devices, capacity, and health
  • Windows edition, build, and install info
  • Copy-ready for support tickets and forum posts

Optimize

Safe cleanup and tune-up

Reclaim resources and disk space using known-safe operations only — no speculative deletions, nothing that breaks your setup.

  • Clear temp files, caches, and junk from safe paths
  • Free up RAM and trim background load
  • One-click optimize pass, reversible where it matters
  • No aggressive "registry cleaner" risk

Gaming & Streaming Mode

Get out of the way when it counts

Flip a switch before you launch a game or go live and Nexus Optimus quiets the noise so every frame and every megabit goes where it should.

  • Streamer / gaming mode suppresses interruptions
  • Prioritizes performance while you play or broadcast
  • Keep monitoring visible without the distractions
  • Persistent preferences — set it once, it remembers

Why Nexus Optimus

Real hardware access.

A signed driver reads sensors at the source — genuine CPU/GPU temps, fan RPM, and memory stats. Not scraped estimates.

Monitor and maintain in one app.

Live gauges, full system specs, and safe cleanup live in the same window. No juggling three separate utilities.

Built for gamers and streamers.

Gaming and streaming modes keep the machine focused when frames and bitrate matter most.

Remembers your setup.

Persistent preferences mean the gauges, layout, and modes you like are there every launch.

Safe by design.

Cleanup touches known-safe paths only. No reckless deletions, no "boost" snake oil.

No telemetry.

Nexus Optimus reads your hardware locally. It does not phone home with your specs or your habits.

Trust & security, in plain English

A signed driver, not a sketchy hack.

The sensor readings come from a properly signed kernel driver, so Windows loads it cleanly without the security warnings unsigned drivers trigger. You get real numbers without gambling on your system's stability.

Cleanup only touches safe paths.

Optimize and cleanup act on known-safe locations only — temp files, caches, and junk. There is no aggressive registry deletion and nothing that removes files your apps or Windows still rely on.

No telemetry. Your specs stay yours.

Sensor reads, system specs, and cleanup all happen locally. Nexus Optimus does not phone home with your hardware details or your habits. There is no analytics SDK and no behavioral tracking.

Remembers your setup.

Persistent preferences mean the gauges you care about, your layout, and your gaming or streaming mode are exactly where you left them at every launch.

Common questions

How does Nexus Optimus read my temperatures and fan speeds?
Through a signed kernel-mode driver that talks to your hardware sensors directly — the same class of interface reputable monitoring tools use. The driver is signed, so Windows loads it without the security warnings unsigned drivers trigger.
Is the cleanup safe? Will it break anything?
Yes, it is safe. The optimize and cleanup routines only touch known-safe locations — temp folders, caches, and junk. There is no aggressive registry deletion and nothing that removes files your apps or Windows still need.
What is gaming / streaming mode?
A toggle that tells Nexus Optimus to get out of the way — it suppresses interruptions and prioritizes performance while you are in a game or live on stream, then returns to normal when you are done.
Does it work on Windows 10 and Windows 11?
Yes. Nexus Optimus targets Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). The sensor driver requires standard Windows driver support, which both versions provide.
Does it phone home or collect my data?
No. Sensor reads, specs, and cleanup all happen locally on your machine. There is no analytics SDK and no behavioral tracking.
How much does it cost?
Nexus Optimus is free during open beta. Testers get the full app at no cost, early builds ahead of public release, and a direct line to the developer.
