Temperature/Fan Speed Plug-in (1 Viewer)

[marcio_pl]

Hi Everybody,

I am looking forward to develop a plug-in to show temperature/fan speed/etc information. Seems we already have MyStatus, but it makes use of mbm5 and on some thread somebody pointed out it must be dead and not work with all mb's.

My idea is to use Low Level I/O to read some ports (my mb for instance uses Winbond W83697HF), unless somebody has a better idea?

The other thing is that I could access those values from Visual C++ 6 using this solution. But I am lost as how to do it on C#.
Maybe inpout32.dll?

Sorry for this messy post about something that must be obvious And of course I am open to any suggestions of features (let me know)

Thanks!!!

Why not use My Speedfan?

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

I saw MySpeedFan as well, I was just thinking of developing something that wouldn't depend on 3rd. party software installed. But I thought better after your post and it would be troublesome to maintain such a plugin with so many I/O chips out there, much better idea to rely on some external software which specilizes on monitoring, like MSF.
