I started by copying the example plugin and just renaming all the instances of 'ExamplePlugin' seemed like a huge pain and had to be done twice (once for 32 bit and once for 64 bit). I felt like I was fighting VSE to get the thing to build the way I wanted. I'm normally a Linux developer and anytime you try to learn a new system it seems like a struggle. Poiru: Thanks for taking the time to build this. I've updated the first post to note that you should set Percentual=1 for those sensors.

If you get a crash or crazy behavior, it would help me if you enable Debug=1 and send me the log file output. It's possible (but unlikely) that this could cause problems but if you see the sensors repeatedly going to zero and back to a value, set this to 0 and check the logs.įor sensor types that return a percentage, they will return so you will want to set Percentual=1 in your meter. This check detects that and resets the sensor configuration. If you make changes in OHM which modify which sensors are read (such as changing HDD sensors), some sensors may be reported in a different order. MaxValueCheck: Set to 1 or 0 to enable sensor maximum value sanity checking.Debug: Set to 1 or 0 to enable debugging output in the Rainmeter log.Type: The sensor type string from the OHM GUI (CPU Total, GPU Core, HDD, etc).Type: The sensor type string from the OHM GUI (Clocks, Temperatures, Load, etc).Hardware: The hardware name string from the OHM GUI (Intel Core i7-2600K, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, etc).

To use this, copy the appropriate plugin to your Rainmeter plugins directory and create a new skin to use it.

#Open hardware monitor rainmeter plugin windows 10 64 Bit#

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit but I've run both DLL's using 32 and 64 bit versions of Rainmeter so I have some hope that they'll work with both apps. I've built 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the plugin and tested them as much as I can. You can also use SVN to download the OHM source and built it with Visual Studio Express 2010 C# (I've never used the program before in my life and it was trivial to do). Once OHM releases an official version with WMI support, this will no longer be needed. The OpenHardwareMonitor SVN directory contains a version that was built from source on which contains the WMI server needed to communicate with the plugin. I have built a version of OHM and included in the zip file. This plugin requires a version of OHM built after JAN-2011. These are the three strings that appear in the sensor hierarchy when you run OHM. You specify the sensor to use by supplying three strings to the configuration: the hardware name, the sensor type, and the sensor name. you must be running OHM for this to work). This plugin communicates with OHM using a WMI interface to read values (i.e. But, like I said, I think it was Cacheman.Open Hardware Monitor (OHM) Rainmeter Plugin I'm going to run OHM and the plugin all day today, so I'll know for sure if it causes crashes. I also noticed I'd get CRC errors when allowing Cacheman to manage memory.Īnyway, I ran OHM and the Rainmeter plugin for a couple hours yesterday without problems (save one: Rainmeter crashed once when refeshing a skin I'm building - don't know if this is OHM related).

Windows 7 does a good job of managing memory, as does Cacheman, but if it causes crashes there are problems. At this point, I think it was Cacheman causing the BSOD. But in theses cases you will get a notification from the Open Hardware Monitor itself and it will try to exit safely. There are also some rare cases where the Open Hardware Monitor crashes (well it is more like it doesn't even start). Normal crashs (without blue screen) can happen with any application.

I am not sure what Cacheman does internally, but for some of the more advanced things like managing cache it could be using a kernel driver as well (which could cause directly blue screens). The Open Hardware Monitor uses a kernel driver, so it could cause blue screens by itself in theory (but I don't have evidence of any case where it does). If for example the RAM does not run stable then anything can cause indirectly a blue screen.
