INauseous() - CPU Temperature Monitor
"Given the issues with Toshiba laptops running very hot with Vista Glass Aero enabled, and just in general with XP as well ( Hot enough to burnout motherboards that require replacements from the manufacturer) I wrote this utility to give me system tray status on the current CPU temperature. I'm currently adding GPU temperature but that requires distribution of licensed components (dynamic libraries).
...
Basically, it just sits in your system tray showing the current CPU temperature with the following color schemes:
- Green - Running at below 50% of critical temperature
- Yellow - Running at > 50% but < 75% of critical temperature
- Red - Running >= 75% of critical temperature.
...
The WMI namespace and object is root\WMI, MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature

Great timing...
I just had a HD issue related to heat (it's officially bad when your notebook HD is too hot to handle and makes a loud "clunking" sound... :| ) so I'm "heat aware" right now.
This is a cool little utility which sits in your system tray that monitors CPU heat. The C# 2 source is also available...
I hate those... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update (in both senses).
Great utility - just one question - when this is running I cant restart my PC until I shut off the Temp Util. Do you know how I can get around this ?

Thank you Shawn...
ReplyDeleteI wish you would continue the development of this utility for core 2 duo and core 2 quad processors.
ReplyDeleteit looks like a great utility
Hi, it's looks a great prog, but i've a problem with this. It says 35°C (it was never), and Everest says 55 °C.
