Show temperature

Post by Nomada »

Good.
I have tried several skin, but none shows me the temperature of the CPU or GPU.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

To monitor temperatures, you will need to be running one of several 3rd-party applications, and then use a corresponding Rainmeter plugin to get the values from the application.

There are two that are well supported in Rainmeter:

CoreTemp: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/coretemp/

HWiNFO: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=21939

I really recommend HWiNFO in your case, as CoreTemp currently does not support reading temperatures for the GPU, only the GPU.


Examples of skins using HWiNFO:

deviantART is a good resource for existing skins. You might look at:
