AI Thread Summary
Creating an application to read CPU temperature on Windows can be challenging due to limited resources and documentation. While many existing programs successfully monitor CPU temperature, guidance on developing a custom solution is scarce. The primary method discussed involves using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes, but specifics on accessing data from the motherboard's BIOS or CPU chip are lacking. Developers looking to build a Windows Forms GUI or a console application need more comprehensive information on interfacing with hardware to retrieve temperature data. A referenced thread suggests checking post #4 for additional insights, indicating that community resources may provide some assistance.

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!

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
