    RealTemp General Discussion

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking but I hate the fact that such a small tray app is using anything more than 1 mb. I personally have 4gb of RAM but I am anal with apps in my tray that are always running. That memory usage thing is interesting, I wonder if there is an API call that I can call on...

    I have experience in C++, VB, and Pascal; mostly VB, about 13 years. VB is the fastest for me so I just put the app together to see what memory usage would look like. The temp app I posted ss's of uses about 7400kb memory and even shows CPU usage of 1 at times. As you would expect I was...

    I agree with that totally, try to keep it lightweight as possible. That's its major selling point for me as I hate system tray apps but being it uses 0 CPU and 1mb memory I am ok with it. If I can minimize the memory usage in my temp app I may start actually using it 24/7 like I do realtemp...

    Thanks for all the info in your above post, it really saved me a lot of googling :rockout: I was able to figure out how to read GPU temp, ambient temp, and core slowdown threshold values for nVidia cards. I have not yet figured out how to read these values on ATi cards, there is little to no...

    RealTemp is an awesome app, good job on it :toast: If you wrote the winring0 library I was going to ask if you had any GPU libraries in your toolbox. I made a small temp monitoring app in Visual Basic that reads CPU temps via WinRing0 library and it reads identical temps as RealTemp (using...

    Did you write the dll library and sys file or just the front-end for the dll?
