how to write loop to calculate cpu average clock speed?

[smokey]

hi guys, i just upgraded to ryzen 8 cores cpu and the existing plugin PowerPlugin MHz doesn't work for me anymore. it is always showing 0 MHz.

so below is the code that i wrote. I utilized HWinfo's sensor and written 8x of the same thing. As you can see, the MeasureCPUClock#, and HWiNFOEntryId=0x600000# have the same pattern, where the last digit indicates the core number. At [MeasureCPUClock_Avg], i added up everything and divided by 8 to get the average cpu speed and this is working fine.

My question is, how do i utilize the LOOP command to simplify this? This is just in case the number of cores grow in the future.

I'm not sure there is a good way to do this. You have to hard-code the number of HWiNFO measures needed to get the maximum number of cores, and even if you hard-code say 32 of them to account for some extreme CPU, I don't see a way to dynamically alter the formula, which as you note must be ((core0+core1+core2)/numOfCores). I don't see any way the Loop measure can play a roll in this. Plus, the user would still have to alter the sensor values for HWiNFO to match their system.

I think you might just look at creating "variants" of the skin, with say 4-8-16-32 cores supported in them.
