is this possible?

Monday, March 26, 2007 by Unlord213 | Discussion: DesktopX

ive looked at alot of widget applications, and noone seems to have any widgets/gadgets to get the cpu or gpu temperatures, and i was just wondering if this is possible with desktopx.  it would be really nice as i tend to have heat issues (not overclocking, just tend to have heat issues )

WMI can report some temp information.

Here's a snippet of VBS that may give a hint.

''''On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\WMI")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
"SELECT * FROM MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
Wscript.Echo "MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature instance"
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
Wscript.Echo "CurrentTemperature: " & objItem.CurrentTemperature
Wscript.Echo "CurrentTemperature: " & objItem.CriticalTripPoint
Next

I'd also suggest you have another look at SysStat's. Pretty sure that's accessible in there.

I use SysStats paired with Avedesk and SysStyles.
