I am taking a Arduino microcontroller class and I'm working on my final project: an automated computer cooling system that works according to case temperature.
I was unable to get my NVIDIA GPU core temp using the following sources: this MSDN link or this NVIDIA link. How can I get the value of the temperature of my GPU?
My knowledge in C# is basic and i couldn't make heads from tails on that manual or code examples in MSDN.
I'm gonna go ahead and answer my own question after a long time of searching how to do that i found a way to get the data.
Using the OpenHardwareMonitor.dll from their open source links i was able to get what i needed.
This is the code i used in a windows c# application (it might not be the best way to do it but it gets the job done.
Hope someone finds this helpful:
using OpenHardwareMonitor.Hardware;

public partial class mainWindow : Form
{
Computer myComputer;
public mainWindow()

InitializeComponent();
myComputer = new Computer();
myComputer.Open();
myComputer.GPUEnabled = true;
myComputer.CPUEnabled = true;
foreach (var hardwareItem in myComputer.Hardware)
{
if (hardwareItem.HardwareType == HardwareType.GpuNvidia)
{
foreach (var sensor in hardwareItem.Sensors)
{
if (sensor.SensorType == SensorType.Temperature)
{
GPUtemp.Text = String.Format(sensor.Value + "°C");
}
}
}
if (hardwareItem.HardwareType == HardwareType.CPU)
{
foreach (var sensor in hardwareItem.Sensors)
{
if (sensor.SensorType == SensorType.Temperature)
{
CPUtemp.Text = String.Format(sensor.Value + "°C");
}
}

{
GPUtemp.Text = String.Format(sensor.Value.ToString()); // write the value to a lable on the form
