Description

Hi everyone.

I updated Ahmed-90's brilliant SystemInformation monitoring tool (with permission) for Rainmeter to the point of almost completely reworking the GPU and CPU core modules, as well as providing disk monitoring support.

The following things have been updated:
  • New GPU monitoring base to work with MSI Afterburner plugin
  • New CPU skins to work with 8, 12, 16, 24 and 32 thread CPUs
    • MSIAfterburner monitoring (CPU temp) or
    • HWINFO monitoring (effective clock, 2 temperatures of your choice)
    • option to split a 32 thread cpu into 2x16thread skins included
  • disk monitoring skins
  • Ryzen branded skin
  • Modified textures, now using self made new transparent ones
  • added optional darker textures and re-added default texturs (all in skin folder)
  • new color scheme
  • (BETA) HWiNFO monitoring for CPU

How to configure HWiNFO skins



I only recommend you use the HWINFO skins if you are an experienced user, know how Rainmeter skins work and thus know how to configure it.
I will not provide support for getting it to work. That's on you.

If you want to get started, check out the link below. After reading through it you should know what the information below refers to.
Working with the HWiNFO plugin - Rainmeter Forums

Here are the measurements you need to update with the correct SensorID, SensorInstance and EntryType:
CPU skin:

Temperature Reading 1:
Measure Name: [CPUNameT1]

Temperature Reading 2:
Measure Name: [CPUNameT1]

Average effective clock:
Measure Name: [measureAvgClockEffective]

Fan skin:
Set the values below to your minimum and maximum fan speeds

cpuMinFanSpeed=
cpuMaxFanSpeed=

optMinFanSpeed=
optMaxFanSpeed=

ch2MinFanSpeed=
ch2MaxFanSpeed=

ch3MinFanSpeed=
ch3MaxFanSpeed=

Measures:
[measureFan1] thru [measureFan4]
