Getting CPU Temperature - Hexology - 07-13-2013

Okay well I'm completely stumped; I've been thinking about this for a while and all I can think of is using MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature Class in the WMI, but my problem here is that not all CPU's support WMI Callbacks. Any ideas? Thanks.

I am also interested in getting my CPU(And GPU if possible) temperatures.

Well, I have a GPU Meter for my graphics card that came with it. A long with fan speed and other stuff if you ahve GeForce or Nivida graphics card it will work. Smile

I think we both know that, we just want to know how to do it in .NET Smile

It's alright I already coded one, its just that not everyone's PC supports callbacks from WMI

You can do it using WMI.
Parse this code into your application, and make sure you've set a reference to System.Management.

PHP Code:
Imports System.Management

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Try
            Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("root\WMI", "SELECT * FROM MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature")
            For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
                Dim temp As Double = CDbl(queryObj("CurrentTemperature"))
                temp = (temp - 2732) / 10.0
                MessageBox.Show(temp.ToString + "°C")
            Next
        Catch err As ManagementException
            MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: " & err.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class 

Then start it as administrator and it will look like this:
