Friday, October 12, 2007 by iceken | Discussion: Stardock Support General
i am currently making a widget with the ones i want.
and at the moment i'm trying to find someones widget that has the CPU temperature. But i cant find any. i did find one which was the CPU_TEMP widget. i tried to get the object from that but i couldn't.
Can anyone help me find a CPU temperature widget or give me the object file?

There aren't yet any plugins that support CPU temp monitoring yet (that I'm aware of).
I did some looking around and there is a WMI object available. I made a simple text object intended to populate with CPU temp information, though I've unfortunately not had any luck getting any information from WMI yet. Maybe someone else will have better luck?

I'll still keep an eye out for anything that might be what you're looking for and let you know if I find anything.

I guess that makes sense then.. Dave's widget is not working for me either. The problem with temperature monitors is that they tend to be more system specific. Hopefully some kind of standard can be developed at some point that all motherboard manufacturers comply with.
