At a minimum, paste the entire code from the skin's. If you don't have that, just zip up the entire skin's folder and attach the. Then just make a skin with the following: (this will output the temperature of your CPU) Output: For GPU temperature you simply change the measure to: Output: Now if you have multiple GPUs you just change the GPU0 to GPU1 for the second GPU etc. Then we might be able to give you some advice on how to find and configure the sensor identifiers for YOUR hardware, and get you going.īest thing would be a link to where you got the skin. We need to see what monitoring program / plugin it is using, and what values it is looking for from the hardware. To even hope to help you, we first need the skin you are talking about. This will vary considerably depending both on the program you are using, and for certain, your hardware. The value of a CPU measure is a percentage from 0 to 100. Processor Default: 0 If set to 0, measures the average of all CPU cores.If set to a number (1, 2, etc.), measures a specific CPU core.Value. Generally this will be by setting some option on the measure that points to some kind of "sensor identifier" provided by the program. Hey all, Ive made a small widget style skin for background monitoring of CPU and GPU temperature, usage, and clock speeds. Options General measure options All general measure options are valid. Third, you have to set up the Measures in the Rainmeter skin to tell the plugin to interact with the correct sensors as monitored by the monitoring program. SpeedFan and CoreTemp plugins for Rainmeter come with Rainmeter, HWiNFO needs to be downloaded to use. First you need to know which application and corresponding Rainmeter plugin a skin is using to measure sensor values. Second, you have to have the plugin for Rainmeter that matches the monitoring program. Rainmeter can't read sensors, it just has plugins that can "talk" to the programs that do. In any case you have to be running the program. That might be SpeedFan, or CoreTemp, or HWiNFO. They are especially helpful for checking the statistics of an overclocked computer as well as the fan speed configurations.
You can see information like CPU temperature, RAM usage, and remaining hard drive space. The way that hardware sensor monitoring works with Rainmeter requires three steps.įirst, you have to be running the program that the skin is designed around. The system monitors that you keep on your desktop are an excellent resource to have. or if it's some setting in the bios that I am supposed to turn on.Īnyone have any thoughts on how I can figure this out? There is a video tutorial of setup, use, functions and all one needs. Now, I don't know enough to know if it's the skin. Here is a Rainmeter skin for those who need all in one suite, not complicated for the eyes, to setup, low in resource usage, visually based on the standard illustro skin, but everything else is different.
