Updated with:

SIV (System Information Viewer) 4.06

Added SMBus support to the SIV driver and implemented the [SMB Bus] panel which will show all the SMBus Slave Devices on the system. By default the range 0x06 to 0x5F is searched, to change this use the [Tune] panel to update the SMBus Base and SMBus Limit SIV registry entries.
Added the [SPD Details] and [SPD Summary] panels which report the SPD information for the system DIMMs. Added [ SPD ] to the initial screen as to replace [SMART] which is available via the colour blob.
Added Memory Timing reporting for the Intel 5000, 5400 and 7300 chipsets by reading the current values from the AMBs (Advanced Memory Buffers).
Added support for the AMD Phenom II X6 (Thuban) and Phenom II X4 (Zosma) Processors.
Added PCIe support for the VIA P4M900, VX800 and VN1000 chipsets.
Added the [System Metrics] page which displays the current System Metric information.
Added the [MSR Core] page which displays the per core MSR derived sensor information. Added support for motherboards with multiple LPC I/O Sensors such as the EVGA W555. Use Nuvoton after the Winbond spin off.
Enhanced USB 3.0 support to report Super as a device speed and decode Endpoint Companion descriptors.
Resolved the issue of SIV, by default, only using 20 lines on some systems and added -NOSAME to disable same-as-before suppression.

Re: Latest Overclocking Programs, System Info, Benchmarking, & Stability Tools

I could not find the Open Hardware Monitor in the list on the first page. It would be great if you could add it.

Description from the project website: "The Open Hardware Monitor is a free open source application that monitors temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of a computer. It supports most hardware monitoring chips found on todays mainboards like the ITE, Winbond and Fintek families. The CPU temperature can be monitored by reading the core temperature senors of Intel and AMD processors. The sensors of ATI and Nvidia video cards as well as SMART hard drive temperature can be displayed. The Open Hardware Monitor runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems without installation."

The tool is similar to sensor monitoring done by Everest, HWMonitor and HWiNFO32, and could be added to the "Monitoring" section.
