Our tests with Open Hardware Monitor, Made two laptops Toshiba (a A-200 and a A-300) We were disappointed to some extent, given that our basic motherboards are not compatible (he "guessed" the long name), and it seems that no cooler-ele are not "friends" with this application ...
But considering that the application is still in beta, We can only hope that the final version will support multiple types of hardware, and will provide comprehensive information for all users. But do not hold your breath until then. : D
