LoadView v3.0.0

What's new in 3.0

Temperatures get a section of their own, fans get one too, there's a light theme, and the settings
dialog has been rearranged so things are where you'd look for them. Your existing configuration is
kept — nothing needs redoing.

Temperatures, as labelled tiles

Small squares under the clock, one per component, instead of a number squeezed onto the CPU and GPU
graph headers.

• Disk temperatures need no driver and no administrator. LoadView asks the drive itself, using a
  query Windows allows any user to make, so your SSD's temperature simply appears — labelled by drive
  letter where one can be worked out.
• GPU works wherever the graphics driver reports it (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel).
• CPU uses the ACPI sensor your firmware exposes, or the real core temperature if you enable the
  optional driver.
• Chipset temperature where the motherboard exposes one.

A Fans section

Fan speeds in RPM, same tile layout. These live on the motherboard's controller chip and cannot be read
without the optional driver and a second switch of their own — and plenty of laptops expose no fan
at all even then. When there is nothing to read, the section hides itself rather than showing an empty
box.

Both fully configurable

Choose which components appear and in what order, and set tile and text sizes. Choices are stored per
component — by serial number for disks — so adding a drive later doesn't shuffle what you picked. A
component you selected that is currently missing stays in the list, marked, instead of being dropped.

Light theme

Settings → Window → Theme: Follow system (default), Dark or Light. Follow system tracks
the Windows app theme and switches while running. If you never chose your own clock / date / weekday
colours, they move to colours that suit the new background; colours you did choose are left alone.

Settings that make sense

Eight pages, one subject each. Graph height now sits with the graphs rather than under "Layout", the NET
graph's two colours sit with the NET graph instead of on another page, and everything about the IP
section is in one place instead of spread across three. Unit choices name both options rather than being
a checkbox you have to guess at, "0 means off" became Auto and At checkboxes, and every row has a
tooltip.

Fixed

Switching the hot-temperature highlight off no longer comes back as "red from 30 °C" after a restart.

Install

Download LoadView.exe below and run it — no install, no dependencies, works on any Windows
10/11 PC. Unsigned, so SmartScreen/Defender may warn on first run (More info → Run anyway).

Using the accurate CPU temperature already? This version refreshes the component that runs with
system rights, so it asks for the one-time administrator confirmation once more.

Not verified on the machine this was built on

Said plainly, because it matters for what you should expect:

• Fan speeds and chipset temperatures. The laptop this was developed on exposes none — the probe
  reports "(none exposed)" — which is normal for laptops and not a fault in the app. The code path runs
  and publishes correctly; whether your board exposes anything is up to the board.
• More than one disk, and SATA/HDD drives: only a single NVMe drive was available to test with.
