!TIMMY!'s Logitech G15 Custom LCD Studio Config

[!TIMMY!]

Ok, I got my G15 and have made a custom config using LCD Studio:

Download

Features:

• Date and time
  
• CPU temperature in celsius
  
• GPU temperature in celsius
  
• CPU usage as a bar and percentage
  
• RAM usage as a bar and percentage
  
• Volume level as a bar
  
• Mute on and off as text
  
• Download in kb/sec
  
• Upload in kb/sec
  

Installation:

• Copy the '6px2bus.ttf' file in the 'Font' folder to C:\Windows\Fonts
  
• LCD Studio, RivaTuner and SpeedFan have to be installed and running.
  
• Shown CPU temp is the second Temp1 entry from Speedfan
  
• For the GPU temps to show the hardware monitoring in RivaTuner must be activated
  
• You may have to reboot for the config to work
  

Please feel free to modify the config all you want, as I just put the info in that I do not have up on my second monitor.

Enjoy

Update 27-08-07

Ok darkorb wanted this to use Everest Ultimate, and I found that Everest uses less memory than Speedfan and RivaTuner put together and I could monitor the northbridge temperature too. So I decided to make a new one:

Download

Features:

• Date and time
  
• CPU temperature in celsius
  
• GPU temperature in celsius
  
• North Bridge temperature in celsius
  
• CPU usage as a bar and percentage
  
• RAM usage as a bar and percentage
  
• Volume level as a bar
  
• Mute on and off as text
  
• Download in kb/sec
  
• Upload in kb/sec
  

Installation:

• Copy the '6px2bus.ttf' file in the 'Font' folder to C:\Windows\Fonts
  
• LCD Studio and Everest have to be installed and running.
  
• In Everest go to: File > Preferences > Hardware Monitoring > External Applications; Check "Enable Shared Memory"
  
• In LCDStudio go to: Tools > Options; Check the "Everest SM Plugin" Box
  
• You may have to reboot for the config to work

Very nice bro.

Ooh this looks cool On my G15, I don't have LCDStudio. Instead, I run Everest 4. You can totally customize the font/size of the test and arrange it in anyway you want. You can also set your GPU to show basically anything that Everest shows which is everything

Mine is arranged like this:

Core 1, Core 2

GPU, Motherboard

RAM Usage, CPU Usage

I think I will have try this LCDStudio though some day

Thanks

Nice mate that looks pretty sweet actually.

My KB's take up too juch room as it is, looking to downzise one of em

 

[!TIMMY!]

Ye, i was looking for one to download, but they were all too busy shall we say; and had information that I didnt really want. So i thought, why dont i just make my own. LCD Studio is quite easy to use once you have had a little fiddle.

 

[darkorb]

looks very nice, is there anyway i can set that same thing up, but instead of speed fan and rivatuner for temps i can use everest ultimate?

i also got another question, recently my multimedia function's have stopped working for the keyboard. the volume works, but i cant pause/sotp/FF/RW without having iTunes window active, if not, it doesnt work

nonethless, very nice Custom config

If you're running Vista, run iTunes as administrator every time and it'll work. iTunes icon >Properties>Shortcut Tab>Advanced>Check Run as administrator

Try using Winamp?

Yes you should be able to. Use LCD Studio to edit my config to read the temps from Everest. See here.

Edit: Winamp FTW

 

[darkorb]

just got winamp, doesnt even work with that

atleast in itunes it works when its active

It works. You need to enable global profiler settings.

 

[darkorb]

which is where?

 

[mVp24]

Open Winamp, go to options and look for Global Options on the left pane. Then check the box that says Enabled, hit apply, and BAM!
