In summary, the conversation discusses how to create an app that constantly reads the CPU temperature. Despite the lack of helpful information, there are existing programs that can do this, indicating that it is possible. One potential solution is using WMI classes, although more information on accessing the necessary data is needed. A helpful resource is shared in the conversation for further guidance.

Hi All,

I have done a lot of searching and it seems like a lot of people ask this same question but no real answers. I'm wanting to create an app that reads the cpu temp constantly. I want to create this in a windows form gui, but since this information is so scarce i'll settle for a console app. The only information I see available is WMI classes, but no helpful info on how to access the necessary data to read from the mobo's bios or cpu chip. I know there are a lot of programs that does this, but I want to create my own. The fact that there are lots of programs shows that this is possible, but it seems like the info on how to do it is slim to none. I would appreciate any info on this.

Thanx in Advance!
