Initial release of WireView Pro II for MSI Afterburner.

A free, MIT-licensed plugin that reads WireView Pro II directly over USB and
exposes 28 monitoring sources in MSI Afterburner for the RTSS on-screen display.

Features

  • Total connector power, total current, and average voltage.
  • Voltage, current, and power for each of the six 12 V pins.
  • Internal IN/OUT and external probe temperatures.
  • Fan duty cycle, connection status, and cable rating.
  • Pause / Release USB and Resume monitoring through the plugin's Setup dialog.

Download and installation

Download WireViewPro2.dll directly, together with LICENSE.
The DLL is x86 to match MSI Afterburner,
including on 64-bit Windows.

  1. Exit MSI Afterburner completely from its system tray icon.
  2. Copy WireViewPro2.dll into
    C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\Plugins\Monitoring.
  3. Reopen Afterburner and go to Settings > Monitoring > ....
  4. Enable WireViewPro2.dll, click OK, select the desired WireView sensors,
    and enable Show in On-Screen Display.
  5. Make sure RTSS is running before launching a game.

Close the official WireView application before monitoring. To use it later,
open this plugin's Setup dialog, click Pause / Release USB, and wait for
Paused. USB released. Close the official app before resuming monitoring.

Tested configuration

Tested on one PC only: my personal PC.

Component Tested version
Operating system Windows 11 Pro 26H2, OS Build 26300.9550
MSI Afterburner v4.6.7.16935 Beta 2
Device WireView Pro II Black Reversed
Firmware v05 (TG-WV-PRO2-FW_20260902_0741)

In-game OSD output, the 600 W cable rating, and the Pause > official WireView
application > Resume workflow have been tested on this system. Automated
protocol, DLL API, mock transport, and settings dialog tests also passed.
Other hardware configurations have not yet been tested.

Known limitations

  • The plugin and official app cannot read the serial USB port simultaneously;
    use Pause/Resume to alternate access.
  • Only one WireView device is monitored at a time.
  • Cable rating is read-only. The plugin does not change Auto/300W/600W settings.
  • Pausing is not saved across Afterburner restarts or plugin reloads.
  • This release has limited hardware coverage and is intended for
    displaying readings, not making protection decisions.
