It will always take some work on your part to match up the skin with the correct application, plugin and settings for your system. The long and the short of it is that NO skin you download is ever going to work for measuring hardware sensors out of the box. It all depends on what the skin you're using expects, running the correct application, and then some tweaking of the options in the skin to match things up with your actual hardware. So there is no simple answer to your question. what is going on is that the actual application, CoreTemp, SpeedFan, HWiNFO, etc., do the measuring, and the matching plugin for Rainmeter is able to get the results from the application to use in a skin.ģ) You will then need to look at the instructions for the desired Rainmeter plugin, to see how you tell your skin which specific sensors (it will vary wildly depending on the application/plugin and your system) you want to measure, and how you set the options in the skin to do so. Rainmeter does not and cannot measure sensor values. This is a 3rd-party plugin, that must be downloaded and installed in Rainmeter prior to using it in a skin: These come with Rainmeter and are ready to use: Click cog on temperature graphs to configure CPU/GPU SpeedFan number. One of these applications must be running on your system while the skin is loaded.Ģ) Use the appropriate Rainmeter plugin for the application you are using: Right-click menu Custom skin actions Show/hide bars and various meters Requires SpeedFan for temperature monitoring. ![]() Please note you might at first think its the animation that does it but ive tried without it and same result.First you need to know which application and corresponding Rainmeter plugin a skin is using to measure sensor values.Īt its most basic, the way you use Rainmeter to measure hardware sensor information is:ġ) Run an application on your system that measures these values. Would like to know if its just my comp thats why im sharing this when not finished(which really kills me!! so please be kind!) Go to where this skin is installed (typically C:DocumentsRainmeterSkinsMinimalist Loop Information) - Keep going, resources HWiNFO resources HWiNFOSharedMemoryViewer.exe - Find the sensors you want to monitor. Just leave it on couple minutes, see result then delete the measures and refresh and wait 2-3 more minutes and see no prob. If you want to check it out for me my "NOT FINISHED" skin is here i can increase the update to 2000 and theres far less cpu drainage so im not megga bothered but its a shame though because lines and histograms ect have less visual impact when slow. it takes about 2-3 minutes before the increase starts and then it increases to about 20% of processor which is strange i think because, it does'nt have an effect on my processor in the first few minutes, thats why i almost missed it. I can use the same plugin with or without an update divider measuring anything else (ID Process ect.) without any fuss but when i measure "as above" i get a GRADUAL cpu drain. Im having a slight issue with with one particular instance of one particular measure:. If we can identify the skin that is causing the issue, we can go from there. ![]() If so, then it may be one particular skin / plugin that is causing the issue. If that doesn't work (although I'm betting it does) then try unloading skins one at a time using RainBrowser and see if at some point the CPU usage goes to 3-5% as I said. We have had a couple of occasions in the past where folks with older network drivers have had performance issues and the latest drivers set things right. Rainmeter generally takes 3-5% of a dual core CPU like yours, and something is amiss if it takes more with only the default Enigma skins loaded.įirst thing to try is going to the website for your network NIC (Network Interface Card) and get the latest and greatest drivers and install them. Since you didn't say, I'm going to assume that this problem occurs when you do a default installation of Rainmeter, and before you "add" any skins you either created or downloaded from somewhere?
