Hi Balala,

Finally found some time to mess around again, I combined two pieces from the sysinfo script (see below)
For some reason the core 2 meter isn't running like core 1 what did I do wrong here.....

The [Core1Gather] and [Core2Gather] measures have both the same Processor=1 option, so both are returning the same information. I suppose on the [Core2Gather] measure, this option should be Processor=2.

Do you know what values rainmeter uses for reading the core(s), because the script starts with 1 to 8 but when I take a look
at SpeedFan it reads/uses core 0 to 7.

BTW what would be better to use: SpeedFan or HWInfo?

I don't have a strong opinion on that. My only real axe to grind with SpeedFan is that it doesn't measure anything about the GPU, and that is of some interest to me. So I personally use HWInfo, although I readily confess that setting up the variables for HWInfo is quite a bit more complicated than SpeedFan. That isn't a particularly big deal for a skin you are using yourself, as you only have to do it once. If you are distributing a skin, HWInfo adds a level of complexity for your end-users that is hard to avoid.

I dont mean to throw a tire on the campfire, but I use a combination of MSIAfterburner and CoreTemp - these are relatively easy to use and customise in rainmeter, and in the end the dual backend programs really dont impact on anything like performance or disk space.

So basically simplicity + complexity = freedom of choice, in this case.

Also, SpeedFan does not have an option to start with Windows so after every boot you have to manually restart it.

I don't know about SpeedFan, I'm not using it, but on CPU measures, as you can see on the link posted above by jsmorley, CPU=0 is used for to get the average of all CPU cores, while CPU=1 and so on, to get specific core value.
