Rainmeter and CPU Temp

benparker · 26 Sep 2015 at 19:53

Ok I have the latest Rainmeter installed and I understand it doesnt show CPU Temps. I installed Core temp and the plugin http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18512 and placed in the plugins folder and its running in the background but it still doesnt how the temp.

I like the default lowkey skin and want cpu temp to go with it so any help is really appreciated

EDIT: What is the default skin called again? I have too many skins .

I believe its called illustro? Would it be possible to see GPU temps also?

Does Core Temp itself read the GPU temp? If not then it may not be possible.

I'm currently using MSI AfterBurner to read off CPU temps and GPU usage/temps.

nope, where do I copy paste what you did in the illustro skin?

Not exactly as simple as that. you can copy the MeasureCore1Temp anywhere for now but then you need to decide how you want to to show on the widget. As in... underneath the SWAP Usage? As text or as a bar? etc...

Is it possible to have under cpu usage in the system widget? So illusto style bar under cpu temp and right side will have %

Yes. Oops lol yea C please. Both core right?

Also is it possible to have cpu widget with the current temps and max temps?

Thanks but its not working. I placed in same dir with System.ini then deleted it and left your one renamed to system but didnt workm. Same as default one. CoreTemp running in the background

Edit: Working now, I placed the file in C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Defaults\Skins instead of C:\Users\benparker\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins

Thank you

Apparentl speedfan allows you to see gpu temps, can you make it with that please?

Nope that didnt work

What do you use to measure cpu temps?

I have used MSI afterburner and it only shows temps while gaming. But for some reason it stopped working

Hmm, do you have "Start with Windows" and "Start minimised" in settings -> general?

Yes they are

I installed the skin and its distorted. I have msi afterburner and coretemp installed. Other skins work except this

The skin in the middle of the screen didn't work which is this one http://dcrutgers.deviantart.com/art/MSI-Afterburner-for-Gnometer-175611672

Illustro is the 3rd widget and the other 2 I discovered today is called gnometer http://poiru.deviantart.com/art/Gnometer-1-3-0-3-182181512

Not next to PC but that's the link

Can you try that afterburner widget and see if works for you please/

It seems it relies on the old version of Gnometer, which is not avaliable any more. Doesn't seem compatible with the new one.

ok but I believe I found the best skin imo based of gnometer

Only problem is he didnt upload the skin file. What would I need to edit to show it like his? I need to change to show 2 cores and 2 drives? I would like to have the temps also like the pic

Also anyway to remove those power off/hibernate etc buttons?
