Rainmeter plugin for MSI Afterburner

For the measure, won't this work for you? Copied/pasted from line 366 in the provided skin:

Code:

;GPU Temperature
[MeasureMSIAfterburnerGPUTemp]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\MSIAfterburner.dll
GPU=0
SourceId=0
MinValue=0
MaxValue=100

And now that you changed the measure to be temp and not usage, you have to change the measure listed in the meters from usage to temp too. It must match the measure name exactly, without the enclosing brackets.

Code:

[GPU1_Temp_Bar]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureMSIAfterburnerGPUTemp
...

 

Oh, lol, wow. That worked! Thanks so much for your help!

 

No problem.

 

OMG I for the life of me cannot figure out why my gpu inst showing up... What changes need to be made. Running 32 bit plugin. tryed 64 bit too. Neither work..

Please read this post to see which .dll you need. And make sure the provided skin works before trying yours. This will ensure the plugin is functioning properly.

I'm not sure what you mean by stating "(i edited the top of all these with MMSIAGPUU)", but that is your main issue. Each measure must have a unique name indicated in the brackets. And then that name without the brackets, but otherwise spelled identical, is what you provide in the meter for the MeasureName parameter. All your measures use the same name.

Hint: Right click the Rainmeter icon and select "About". Look at the Log and Skins tabs.....it should tell you exactly what is working or not.

I created a new skin using your code and changed 2 of the measure names to match the value you are using in the meter. Those values show properly for me now.

If you need any further help, please zip and email me the complete skin from your My Docs folder. My email address is in my profile. There are many missing dependencies in the portion of code you provided.

Thanks,
Nick

 

Say, can someone see how well my skin works? Especially with a multi-GPU setup since I only have a piddly little GTX 650 (for now)...
http://fav.me/d5oa14z

 

Works great except for one thing......the VRAM does not work on a multi-gpu system. The usage, temp and info seem right though.

In your VRAM skins, you have the following:

Code:

[Measure.Memory_Usage]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=MSIAfterburner
GPU=#GPU#
DataSource=Memory usage

In multi-GPU systems, the labels change to have a GPU1/GPU2/etc prefix. Therefore you need to change the DataSource to be "GPU1 memory usage", "GPU2 memory usage", etc.

This is the whole reason the SourceId parameter was added. So if you just change the measure to this instead, then all 4 VRAM skins can use the same code:

Code:

[Measure.Memory_Usage]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=MSIAfterburner
GPU=#GPU#
SourceId=49

You can read about the SourceId parameter here:

Thanks,
Nick

 

Oh yeah, forgot about that... my mistake. I only had one module to start with and I probably missed that when I copied over the code to the other ones.
Thanks for picking that up

 

Does this work with latest msib 3.0.0 beta 15 ?

 

Yup, working fine here.

 

Awesome. Thank you.

 

How can I make it so it auto detect CPU name just like in GPU gnometer skin (http://dcrutgers.deviantart.com/art/MSI-Afterburner-for-Gnometer-175611672)?

Atm I added name manually:

EDIT: Oh, sorry, thought you said GPU name. I'm not sure on the CPU. I'm thinking it is not possible in MSI Afterburner directly. I'll have a look in the next day or two.....but I'm thinking you need to use this or something similar.

MSI Afterburner doesn't work

Hi, I downloaded MSIAfterBurner (64 bit), put it in my Rainmeter Plugin folder, but it doesn't seem to be working. Did I miss a step somewhere?

 

Do you have the Afterburner program installed and running as well?

 

Afterburner v3.0.0 - new SourceID codes.

Just updated to v3.0.0 and found that it can monitor a whole lot more stuff on your GPU (if your graphics card supports those features). But because some people might have trouble figuring out how to access those values to display them in Rainmeter, I hunted down the SourceID codes and converted them into the decimal equivalents.

Code:

GPU Temperature			0
PCB Tempurature			1
Memory Temperature		2
VRM Temperature			3
Fan Speed			16
Fan Tachometer			17
Core Clock			32
Shader Clock			33
Memory Clock			34
GPU Usage			48
Memory Usage			49
Framebuffer Usage		50
VID Usage			51
Bus Usage			52
GPU Voltage			64
Aux Voltage			65
Memory Voltage			66
Framerate			80
Frametime			81
GPU Power			96
GPU Temp Limit			112
GPU Power Limit			113
GPU Voltage Limit		114
GPU Overvolt Max Limit		115
GPU Utilisation Limit		116

And in case MSI updates more data into their next version, the file where these values are found is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\SDK\Include\MAHMSharedMemory.h
Note that they're in hexadecimal numbers in that file so you need to convert them to decimals for use in Rainmeter.

 

The last one is the GPU utilization, ir it is 1, it means that it is because of the GPU utilization is low, so the GPU don't increase the clock speed.

 

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying, I've updated the post to reflect that.

Also, now that I've got a multi-GPU setup, I just realised that Afterburner measures VRAM for multi-GPU differently than I thought. Instead of having separate measurements, it combines all VRAM into "GPU1 memory usage"... found out about it here (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18574079) while looking to see why my 2nd card's VRAM wasn't working.

 

Some of my skins stopped working when I updated to Afterburner 3.0.0.

The fix is to update your skins .ini file. For example to get the Memory usage (VRAM) monitoring working you need to change all:

Code:

DataSource=Memory usage

to

Code:

SourceID=49

(Huggi posted the full list of codes above me).

Samefor GPU usage.
But for framerate you should use the old way (It started to work again after I restarted the computer) :s
