dll goes in "Program Files\Rainmeter\Plugins", the 32Bit. I did this for my 2 480's.Įdit: It seems filesonic link is unavailable, I found the plugin Here attached to the last post. *If you have two or more of the same hardware you'll need to rename them for Rainmeter to read each, just right click on the hardware name > Rename and add a 1,2 or 3, ect. You need a program to read the sensors, Open Hardware Monitor seems the easiest to work with so I'm using that, grab it and open it - any of the values shown are available to Rainmeter. Check the guides on to see what else you can do.
This is a simple skin to read and display a sensor/clock speed, ect, easy to customize though once you've got the basics. Rainmeter has the ability to read and display pretty much any sensor\load\clockspeed\voltage on any system but no one makes configs to display them all or select a few because every system has different hardware\sensors so they aren't really transferable, you have to make your own - here's how. The FPS is rarely (if any) different than 0 if you just stare at the Windows desktop with nothing actually using your GPU in a more intensive way.First see Toransu's excellent guide to Rainmeter stickied in the Art/Graphics section: a windowed game, some video processing or capturing software, a browser running some graphical or 3D stuff, etc). the IDs / indexes / registry keys one uses in HWINFO64 to get data are almost always different from how another user sets them on his system, while the MSI AB plugin references hardware in a much more generic fashion, that will work on any system, assuming it's supported).įor the record, to have the FPS yield non zero values, you'd normally need to have some D3D program run (e.g. Like SilverAzide mentioned, HWINFO64 and MSI AB are the most comprehensive tools to get such data (and other "low level" ones as well).The former is generally compatible with more devices (MSI AB might provide data for fewer hardware than HWINFO64), the latter is more system independent in terms of syntax (e.g. Is there a way to display the frames without MSI Afterburner?

Repeat the process for as many (or all, if you can) fields from the images you posted (in some cases, you must use DataSource=.
ini file, right click the skin, choose Refresh Skin, and you should have another line with the GPU temperature in your skin.
Text=GPU TEMP in the label meter, and Text=%1 ☌ in the value meter), then reference the duplicated measure above in the MeasureName option of the value meter, like MeasureName=MeasureGPU0Temp. You modify the Text option in the duplicates accordingly (e.g. \MSI AB - Source ID Reference.txt file, except that you need to convert those hexadecimal values to decimal ones, which you can easily do online or using a calculator), because the hexadecimal value listed in that file is 0x00000000 which translates to 0 decimal.Īfter creating your first measure in this code, you can similarly duplicate the two VRAM meters (the label and the value) to a pair of a label and a value meter for the Temp, by changing the duplicated section names to, say, and. So now you can copy paste to duplicate one of the measures - say,, change the duplicate's name to, say, and use SourceId=0 to get the GPU temperature (a list of possible SourceId values exists in the. Meters can reference measures in order to display the data the measures provide, via the MeasureName, MeasureName2. what follows the = sign on that line (each option takes just one line, no matter how long it is). Both are called sections, because they start with, contain options that look like SomeOptionHere= and each option has a value, i.e. ini file that you can edit in Notepad, whose contents is mostly made of measures (stuff that get data) and meters (stuff that display data). Once you're done with modifying it, you save it, then right click the skin and choose Refresh Skin to reload it with your changes. You right click on it and choose Edit Skin and you can modify it. You download the file, double click to install it (which will install the MSI AB plugin for Rainmeter as well, see here), then the skin will load. As mentioned before, you need to have Rainmeter and MSI Afterburner installed and running.
