Temp Reading Goof Up

[Klusterfuk]

Hey all,

I am trying to code a monitor for max and core temps, and clock speed. I hit a major speed bump though. The min and max temps are synced, so the max acts as though it is the current core temp. This is senseless. If you could help me out, I would appreciate it.

(PLEASE DO NOT STEAL, YOU WILL GET CREDIT)

I think you might be misunderstanding what that MaxTemperature option is about.

It is the current highest temperature across all cores. So it will in effect return the highest "current" temperature for the core that is the hottest at that moment.

It's not any kind of historical "maximum". Those "max" and "min" fields in the app are currently not supported by the plugin.

[jsmorley]

There is a way to keep track of the "minimum" and "maximum" values that the temperature has had since the skin was loaded:

[MeasureMinTemp]

This will be "persistent" in the sense that the current values will be written to the file when the skin is unloaded. So the values will persist when your computer is restarted, or Rainmeter is restarted, or if you unload / load the skin.

If you really want / need to "reset" things, just change these back to these values:

MinTemp=100
MaxTemp=0

Alright, so please help me, how would I integrate this into my code? I was trying to figure it out, but I don't see how without completely rebuilding the code, which I do not have time to do.

Yeah, me either. It's baseball playoffs season.
