Are you looking for a way to monitor your computer's CPU temperature in Rainmeter? Look no further! In this article, we'll guide you through the process of setting up a Rainmeter skin that displays your CPU temp.

First things first, you'll need to install the SpeedFan plugin and configure it correctly. Make sure to set the temperature unit to Centigrade (C) under 'Options' in SpeedFan. If you don't do this, the returned value will be incorrect, ranging from 32F to 212F - a bit extreme for your computer!

After setting up the measures, you're ready to rock! The HWiNFO plugin will display your CPU temperature in real-time, giving you a detailed view of your computer's thermal activity.

But don't just take our word for it - Tannhaeuser, a satisfied user, has reported that this skin is doing the magic, already playing around with it and getting great results. So why wait? Get started today and monitor your CPU temp like a pro!

Remember to edit your skin as needed if you experience any issues after rebooting your system. And don't forget to update HWiNFO regularly to ensure compatibility with the plugin.

By following these simple steps, you'll be well on your way to monitoring your computer's CPU temperature in Rainmeter. Happy customizing!
