Hi,

I've been using this program for quite some time now and it is an invaluable resource to me for checking my temperatures on my I7 920 overclocked to 4Ghz, but I was wondering is there any way of overlaying the core temperatures on screen when playing games as this would be ideal, as when I flick back to Windows when playing a game, the CPU load goes back down to zero and I'm not able to get the current temperature of the game I'm playing at that time, I've tried the logging option but an overlay would be more useful if possible.

Many thanks for your help and support.

It would also be great if it could show the load percentage for each core (per thread) on the overlay as well.

This has been discussed. For this to be implemented. thecoolest would need to spend a significant amount of time to learn how to do this. and he is currently overloaded as is. So its one of those things that would be nice, but at the moment, time is a limiting factor. There will definitely be news of this on the forums if its in development. I will also get back to this post if it does fall under one of his projects

That's correct.
I've looked into it some time ago, what needs to be done is API hooks need to be set, for both D3D and OpenGL applications.
This is a lot of work and as imposter mentioned, unfortunately far from top priority right now.
If there was anyone willing to write a plugin for it, I'd very happy to assist if needed.

I've been using the Real Temp plugin for Rivatuner which is able to show temperatures per core onscreen for any game and it has the added advantage of Rivatuner's GUI, if there was a way of getting a Core Temp plugin to use with Rivatuner this would be even better, as Real Temp's readouts are not as accurate as Core Temp, but I'm not sure how much work this would be though to implement.

Many thanks for your reply and your time

Core Temp exposes a shared memory block which can be accessed from other applications.
I don't have the time to work on 3rd party plugins right now.
You can see the info about accessing Core Temp's data on this page:

I was posting a request for Overlay support for a different client. It seems Windows has a framework called Detours which can be used like the LD_PRELOAD environment variable in *nix. Here's the link I got the information from:

Happy coding. Hope this helps.
