The plugin understands the following measure types: The ArgusNumber value is only used for some types and can be left blank for ones that don't need a number/index. (Counting starts from 0 = 1st Core, 1 = 2nd Core, and so on, like the SpeedFan plugin.) The ArgusNumber=3 part tells the plugin you want the temperature of the 4th CPU core. In the above example, ArgusType=CPUCoreTemperature tells the plugin you want to use the CPUCoreTemperature type, described below. The plugin and example skins/layout are included in this.

#RAINMETER GPU MONITOR SKIN#

This shows the skin above Argus Monitor itself (click to expand): The others are all fixed-size and will display some blank readings for things that don't exist on your system. The CPU skin will dynamically add/remove cores based on the number of cores Argus Monitor reports. If you have used the SpeedFan plugin before, you'll find it familiar.

Those skins also serve as a way to see how to get the different readings out of the plugin. It's not pretty it was made just to test the plugin, before I start using the plugin in my real skin. The plugin comes with a layout of example skins which demonstrate (most of) the various things it can get from Argus Monitor. As of Argus Monitor 4.0.2: Maximum of 32 CPU cores, 4 GPUs, 32 drives, 12 fans, and 12 motherboard temperatures (separate from CPU/GPU temps). Argus Monitor itself has some limitations which the plugin inherits.

#RAINMETER GPU MONITOR UPDATE#

This is because they both queue up to receive updates from Argus Monitor, and it will only update one at a time.

If you use both the plugin and the official gadget at once, both of them will only be updated half as often as usual.

Version 1.1.0.1 of the plugin supports Argus Monitor 3.6.2, 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 (latest version at time of writing).

Version 1.0.0.0 of the plugin supports Argus Monitor 3.6.2.

The plugin is written in a way where the worst that should happen is it reports incorrect values, or writes to the Rainmeter log saying it can't understand the other end of the protocol. Since this plugin is not part of Argus Monitor itself, and there is no formal API to get data from Argus Monitor, it's possible the plugin will stop working when Argus Monitor is updated and changes the format of the data. From plugin version 1.1.0.1 (Argus Monitor version 4.01), the Argus Monitor developer has helped by sending me information on version changes as well as things I could not work out on my own. As there was no official Argus Monitor plugin for Rainmeter, I initially reverse-engineered the way the official gadget talks to the main program and created the Rainmeter plugin this thread is about. Sigh.)Īrgus Monitor comes with its own simple gadget that can display some of its readings outside of the main UI, but it isn't as fully featured as Rainmeter. On a board with lots of support for water cooling.

Asus's own software was useless, as was the BIOS, for controlling fans based on water temperature, as they force you to use CPU temperature for several fan headers. As I'm controlling my fans based a water temperature sensor plugged into T_Sensor, Argus Monitor was the only thing that let me do that. Some tools like HWInfo can also read the temperature, but they can't control your fans. Same problem with some other earlier Maximus boards and current versions of SpeedFan (4.52 Final), from what I've read. (The motherboard is an Asus ROG Maximus X Hero and I'm using T_Sensor. I used to use SpeedFan, and the SpeedFan plugin for Rainmeter, but my new motherboard has temperature sensors which SpeedFan can't detect, while Argus Monitor can.

Unlike SpeedFan, Argus Monitor is not free to use (beyond a 30 day trial period), but it's not expensive either.

This is a plugin which lets your Rainmeter skins use various CPU, GPU, fan and temperature readings from Argus Monitor.Īrgus Monitor is similar to the more well-known SpeedFan, in that it is good at monitoring various temperatures, S.M.A.R.T.
