Rainmeter plugin for MSI Afterburner

guys im using this skin: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/sysmonitor/rainmeter/?qh=&section=&q=gpu#/d3el1b7
dll: from the first post 64bit version as i have win7 64bit
and latest msi afterburner v. 2.2.0 beta 9
problem is that gpu monitor doesnt read all the info for gpu, what could be the problem?

You still have to download the plugins but all the info needed is on the link in the notes.

 

Stangowner Ive tryed to get this to work without any luck some parts work and some don't



as you can see only Gpu usage and gpu temp works
I run two ati hd5700 cards this is the ini

I changed the

any ideas why the rest is not working ?
Thanks

 

Does the skin that I made work properly?
http://rivatuner.doomdealer.com/afterburner/rainmeter/MSIAfterburner2.zip

 

Sorry should of tryed that one first with it bin your msi file

again tho only some work
here is the screenshot



Cheers

 

You are showing the core clock, memory clock, gpu usage, fan speed and the text description headers in my skin in addition to the temp that you were getting before.

The only things you are missing is voltage, framerate, memory usage and PCB temp. So you have either not enabled these in Afterburner or your cards do not support them. Everything appears fine to me.

 

Any ideas how I can find out if I have them enabled or if my card supports them?

edit. Ok I have FPS working now and the others are also ticked but not showing, Does that mean my card does not support them?

Cheers

 

Yes, if you've enabled them in the monitoring settings and are still getting nothing then your cards must not support them. One exception is voltage which also needs to be enabled on the general tab. Please the tooltip before deciding to enable this. And again, it will only work if your cards support it.

 

Thanks stangowner

 

Is there a Core clock max?

Using the plugin and like it, thanks.
Are there any other values that can be used? What I'm after is the GPU Clock max, rather than the current value. E.g. my core clock shows 500mhz, but on usage it will max out at 880 or 1000 depending if I have it overclocked or not. I would like to be able to tell at a glance whick mode I'm in. The alternative would be for me to be able to read what afterburner profile is activated. Are either of these available?

Thanks

 

Nope, sorry, you can't get the max values or current profile with this.

 

been working on mine, managed to get my GPUS working correctly as i run crossfire

 

Looks great, thanks for sharing!

Download
I was recently introduced to Rainmeter and really love it. I decided to combine skins from different suites and tweaked them into a single suite. Hope you like it as this is my first attempt


Additional Applications:
Below is the list of applications that are needed to ensure that all components of the skin work properly. Do note that if any application is not installed, the skin will have missing data but will not cause any issues or system instabilities.

Core Temp (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/)
MSI Afterburner (http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm) for Nvidia/AMD GPUs
SpeedFan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) On Windows 8, select compatibility for Windows 7 for installation (http://www.forumswindows8.com/tutorials/windows-8-compatibility-mode-5264.htm)


Instructions:
Manual tweaking for some of the skins are required due to the unique configuration of each system. Please note that I have marked those sections clearly and provided instructions where necessary. For further information, please read the easy-to-understand Rainmeter guide (http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/getting-started). I might be able to provide some help if possible, however, Google seems to know the answer to almost all questions if asked nicely

Nice work on the skin! It all came together very nicely. Very well done for a 'first attempt'. Thanks for sharing! I hope other users will like it as well.

Found this thread while trying to get ForceX skin for Rainmeter to read the GPU Temps from Afterburner instead of Speedfan.



Getting it to read the CPU temp from CoreTemp was no problem at all but I cant get the GPU temp to work with Afterburner.

I do have the Afterburner plugin in Rainmeter.

 

Looks like you have 2 issues.
1 - The DataSource for [MeasureMSIAfterburnerGPUUsage] looks invalid. It should be the exact name as in Afterburner, or the ID. See this post and this post for instructions, or copy it from the sample skin.
2 - The MeasureName for [GPU1_Temp_Bar] and [GPU1_Temp_Text] is not right. It should be set to the measure - MeasureMSIAfterburnerGPUUsage.

- Nick

 

Thank You for responding!

Like this?



Except it's still saying %1 instead of the actual temperature.

Honestly I'm just randomly guessing here because I have no clue what I'm doing, lol! I figured if I could get the CPU Temp to read from another plugin, the GPU Temp shouldn't be so hard. I guess I was wrong.

 

No, when I said the DataSource for the measure was invalid, I meant correct the value you were providing it, not remove it entirely. You need to put that back in. Did you look at the sample skin provided?

The meters look better.

 

Yes I did check out those posts. Dunno why I'm having such a hard time with this. I'll play around with some more, I'm bound to get it right at some point.

Ooof! Now one of the other skins I had downloaded previously that did show the correct info from Afterburner suddenly quit working. And I wasn't even editing it, I was just using it as a 'template. I think I'm just gonna stick with whatever stock skins, without editing anything. I seem to be breaking more than accomplishing. :bang:
