cpu and/or gpu temp

[Gentle Ben]

Essentially , I can't get any of the temperature gauges to metre the temperature of either my gpu or my cpu.
could you point me in the right direction ? <3 D:

Edit; if you need any details ask and i'll post them

i tryed some of them (thanks by the way, my skins wre feeling a bit used haha). Neither my gpu temperature or my cpu temperatures register, there all just 0.0 :/

would that be driver issues? gah

You need to step back and remove Rainmeter from the equation. The SpeedFan app is the key. Run that, open it up, and see what it says. What sensors are supported? What number is each sensor? (the numbers are 0 to xx, in that panel on the right)

Once you know if SpeedFan is working right for you, and what sensors are what numbers, then the Rainmeter skin is easy.

thanks man

one final question, is it necessary to have speed fan open all the time?

Yes. You can set it to reside in the system tray and have it hidden there, but it must be running all the time.

Sure, I do... Just put a shortcut to it in the Startup folder in the Windows Start menu.

I set these too:
