I have bad vision, so from my bed, I can not read the temps in the tray of my CPU. Is there a program that I can use to moniter my temps during my screen saver? Big font would be nice since I have less-than-perfect vision.

C'mon.....I'm sure there has to be a program somewhere...I'd rather be monitoring my CPU temps than monitoring the time of day (current screensaver)...

You can download screensaver plugins for motherboard monitor

http://www.student.ii.uni.wroc.pl/~mumin/
This one uses OpenGL and runs on Windows OSes. It uses animation so it will put a small load on your machine, but it works great.

If you need something more versitile you can use this one: http://www.fetix.8m.com/ It has fully adjustable backgrounds fonts and such. It works fine.

Thanks. I'm at the college right now, but once I get home, I will try these programs out. Excellent work on finding these. Which one would you suggest I use? I'm not worried about having a load on my system, its temps run fine even on a full load. Basically, which one has a better interface? Oh yeah, are they both plug-ins for MBM?

Go ahead and try them. I have them running on the newest version of MBM right now. There is nothing to it, I don't know why Vrykyl can't get it to work.

Click to expand...

Are you running MBM while the screensaver is taking place? I know that if I don't have it running, the screen savers show nothing
