CPU Package (TSI): Available on pre-Zen AMD CPUs is the CPU temperature obtained via TSI interface. CPU Package: Shown on Intel CPUs represents a 256-millisecond average value (calculated by CPU) of the hottest temperature sensor within the CPU package. CPU (Tdie): This value is shown in case the CPU uses an offset from Tctl and represents the real temperature (Tdie = Tctl - Tctl_offset). If no offset is used, then only a single value is shown as Tctl/Tdie, which equals the real temperature.

Offset is used mostly on X-series and some Threadripper CPUs in such case two values are shown: Tctl and Tdie. On AMD Zen series this is the temperature used to control cooling and is a fixed offset from the real CPU temperature. On several generations before Zen (Ryzen), this is not a reliable representation of the temperature. CPU (Tctl): This is the T_control temperature available on AMD CPUs only. Core Max: The maximum temperature among all cores in the CPU. rmskin fileĥ.-CPU (onboard sensor): This is either a temperature measured by a dedicated sensor on mainboard located inside the CPU socket (the external CPU temperature) or temperature obtained from internal CPU thermal sensor (i.e. Make sure you have downloaded the 'OpenHardwareMonitorPlugin.dll'. Copy exactly how it is written in Open Hardware MonitorĤ.

Replace CPU and GPU name variables with your own, under the VARIABLES tab. I personally also turn on 'Start Minimized', 'Start to Tray', 'Minimize on Close'ģ. In Open Hardware Monitor 'Options', set 'Run on Windows Startup'. Have Open Hardware Monitor downloaded prior to loading skin (Made with version 0.9.6)Ģ. If these authors or any users have any issues or suggestions with my adaptation, please get in contactġ. ini file for setup guide.Īdapted from Meddx's 'Dashboard' and Patrick Stillhart's 'Spinner'. Created with version 0.9.6 but I assume it should work with other versions. It uses Open Hardware Monitor as the source for the data so make sure you install it. Its my first rainmeter creation so let me know if you encounter any issues. Hey all, I've made a small widget style skin for background monitoring of CPU and GPU temperature, usage, and clock speeds.
