Cheap but good case mod

[heatonpkmassive]

At least I think it's a case mod, it's just a sensor panel but it's made my case look a lot nicer and the panel itself is actually useful. I'm quite happy with the results for the cost, don't need to bother with the Afterburner overlay any more when wanting to keep an eye on temperatures. I like that. Total cost 40 quid, 5 inch screen second hand off here for 23 quid, 7 quid for a micro USB to USB 2 header cable for power and a tenner for a thin HDMI cable.

Here's a quick demo, not great as filmed with my phone but you get the idea.

I did something similar, pretty much the same parts and costs.
Looks good and i have found it pretty useful.

It's more useful than I thought it would be, I like seeing certain stats at a glance.

I've settled on this now, any other I make will be totally different.

I would like to do something like this, anyone know of a guide about how to set it up?

Ladies and Gents, what software are you using may I ask? I have the same mod on mine and struggled to find anything that ran as neatly as yours do on the small screens. TIA

Think most use aida64, that's what Jay2Cents did on his video of this

Been looking at this sensor panel idea aida 64 gave me a headache and it's very pricey to buy i found it complicated found this solution not perfect by any means using spacedesk on a fire tablet with the play store installed and the on the pc .

using the tablet as a second monitor was able to drag the nzxt cam window onto it the dials are bit blurry my potato pic makes it look worse than it is though. not sure why it runs at 60hz same as the monitor , tried it on another Android tablet and it was the same.

don't think I will fit anything to the case but useful to see the temps at a glance if you have an overclock on the CPU and GPU and are gaming.

Not sure why it's blurry
I have used spacedesk before I started using aida64
With remote panel software
Got aida64 free with my motherboard
But yeah it's time consuming to make one in aida64

Suggest you try spacedesk with pitikapp
Much simpler to use than aida64
Though the graphics are more basic
But can at least see if it's blurry too

Fantastic thanks for that far easier for a beginner to figure out that programme, so here is me no frills system sensor panel finished and fitted no blurring either looks great if a little big my terrible smartphone camera doesn't do it justice tbh.

found a little pitikapp tutorial for anyone following the thread.

Glad that helped
And of course its free which is always
A bonus
And yeah few minutes with pitikapp
And you're sorted
Compared to hours in aida64
Not really a software you see get mentioned
When it comes to sensor panels
I just stumbled across it one day when I was
Messing around with old android devices I had in a drawer
And decided to make sensor panels of them

 

[gr1mey]

Like this, good idea

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Not free
Approximately £129 I think it was
But for those who cant/don't want to DIY one
Gskill are releasing the gskill wigidash
Saw it mentioned by someone
In the forums recently

Me I am happy using an old 10 inch yoga tab
With great built in kickstand
So I can use it internally or externally
And was lying in a drawer doing nothing anyway
Only running android 6 lol
So even pretty old android devices will still work
For the DIY method
