Hardware monitoring software

[dugdiamond]

a few days ago, some members were discussing the availability of FREE Hardware Monitoring programs, and alternatives.

...

so i wrote one

i may look similar to others out there, and that is because it is those that i have based mine on.

it is only a beta at the moment, but if anyone finds any flaws please tell me, and i will do my best to fix them

Loved it, THANKS!!!

Nice dude, Using it now and loving it, I like the selective

customization with the Gadget along with Drive temps.

Like it better than "Core Temp".

I do not see a thumbs up emoticon, so this one will have to do

new version available = better gadget

Brilliant, often when I start folding for the day I need to open CPU-Z and HWMonitor to check that the CPU is still running an overclock, (I have had cases of it reverting to stock for unknown reasons).

But this does it all, it's a small thing, minute in fact, but I love it because of that.

Only 'problem' I've had is Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 shows me this message when I run the program:

OC3D Hardware Monitor Detected: PDM.Suspicious driver installation 11/09/2011 11:28:04

It still runs fine after this message but I thought you should be made aware.

Thank you very much for making it.

EDIT: Also between Temperature Unit and Read HDD Sensors in options there is a clickable option there, so I can hover my mouse over it and the bar will highlight, but no text to tell me what clicking it does and doesn't appear to do anything when clicked.

EDIT: And clicking Help>About does nothing.

yep - there are a few more things i am adding to it (if it get used alot)...

• to make it a 'proper win7' gadget (dockable with 'the others')
  
• customisable skins and themes
  
• a pop-up window with heat visualisations
  
• maybe some system tools added to it (API shells)

Very good (best I've seen)!

But if you could find a way of getting the Foxconn Inferno Katana (non-GTI) voltages for cpu and such it would be even better!

I'm using it and it is awesome. There is way more info on hardware, compared to the rest. +rep for you mate.

i do not have ALL the schema for all components yet.

no doubt, as soon i think i have them all, new ones will be made.

i will try to keep on top of it...........but it is FREE

another gadget with a realtime heat spectrum analyser for upto 24 cores, is now in development

'fanboy' skins are almost complete

You should get paid for this man. I would donate to you via PayPal if you had a way I could do it.

[dugdiamond]

following yassarikhan786's comment about donations i have added a PAYPAL donations button.... it can be found under the help menu via the about box

version sep2011c is now available:

same as before.... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dugdiamond/binaries/OC3D_HM.rar

I can't seem to find the button.

EDIT: Forget the comment. I was thinking you meant on your website.

Great work mate

Nice features, and I really love the design of the gadget

(Also the tray icons are brilliant, won't be using them myself though)

Thanks

Hi,

Nicely done! I assume that's some sort of common free-ware lib you're using there to access the hardware? I've always found utility type programming quite fun and used to knock up lots of little bits in the past. Sorta out of practise now lol.

What did you develop this in out of interest? I'm pretty much limited to VS2010 these days as that's what we use at work...they did threaten to make me do some stuff in Delphi but I don't really want to go there again. I used to switch between tools and languages all the time but I'm a bit more set in my ways now...plus an age of supporting VB .net 1.1 stuff has mentally damaged me I think

Cheers,

Scoob.
