Windows 11 widget showing various stats
This widget depends on a few other programs:
- Install HWINFO64, start in sensor mode and in settings enable "Shared Memory Support".
- Install Rainmeter, its used for widget support.
- Finally install the widget, Rainmeter should recognize it and you can open it from there.
FAQ:
- On first launch it will ask you for your max CPU & GPU TDP, it can also be changed again later by clicking on it where it says click. Its only for the circle animation to look accurate. For example my rtx 5070m can max use 100w so i set TDP: to 100, and my CPU can max use 90 watts so i set TDP: to 90.
- For G14 or laptops that can disable GPU, if you started the widget while in ECO mode you need to reopen HWINFO64 before it will be able to detect the GPU again.
- If values shown just say 0 there are generally a couple reasons why:
A) You are not runnig HWINFO64 or did not enable Shared Memory Support.
B) IDs may be wrong or outdated, head to "Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\CleanUI 1@Resources" and use HWiNFOSharedMemoryViewer.exe to find updated IDs and replace them with a text editor in the "00_Variables.inc" file.
C) Keep in mind that if dedicated GPU in particular values are 0 the GPU may just be turned off because you're in ECO or optimus mode.
Tip: I also recommend you disable "Wake disabled GPUs" in HWINFO64 so that while in optimus mode the GPU is not constantly waked up by HWINFO.
