Adding Temps to Gnometer Systems Multi-core Skin

[icu222much]

I would like to add a CPU temperature and GPU temp/load gauge to my Gnometer Systems Multi-core skin and am wondering how exactly would I do that? I have read this guide about using Open Hardware Monitor to pipe information into a custom skin and I understand the gist of it.

i tried out this plugin and i find it very simple and easy to use.. which part of it u dont understand?

just install the plugin and use this to pull out the values
dont forget to replace with your own PC hardware

Code: Select all

[measureGPUtemp]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\OpenHardwareMonitor.dll
Hardware=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660   
Type=Temperatures
Sensor=GPU Core

[measureCPUtemp1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\OpenHardwareMonitor.dll
Hardware=Intel Core i7-3770   
Type=Temperatures
Sensor=CPU Core #1

[measureCPUtemp2]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\OpenHardwareMonitor.dll
Hardware=Intel Core i7-3770   
Type=Temperatures
Sensor=CPU Core #2

[measureCPUtemp3]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\OpenHardwareMonitor.dll
Hardware=Intel Core i7-3770   
Type=Temperatures
Sensor=CPU Core #3

[measureCPUtemp4]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\OpenHardwareMonitor.dll
Hardware=Intel Core i7-3770   
Type=Temperatures
Sensor=CPU Core #4

Hope that helped

Its not the coding he's having trouble with, for some reason his skin will not detect the CPU Temp, i've even wrote him a test script myself for his PC and it will not detect, really unsure what is going on, but nothing i tried seemed to work. I re-wrote the script for my own PC and it worked perfectly first time.

I think what he's asking is for another way to display his CPU Temp.

Hi Wanda,

That is exactly what I'm asking. Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. I am using a speedfan plugin atm but it seems that the GPU temp is off by 10*C. For example, SpeedFan would report my GPU temp to be at 50*C, but the skin would say 40*C.

ah i see...
well for CPU temp there is the CoreTemp plugin
info here

as for some plugins not reading data correctly...
it happend inside rainmeter too... for me with 2 exact same pieces of code giving different values (97.6 and 104.8)

here is a meter for the total HDD capacity... So yeah......
