You always wanted to see the system temperatures, fanspeeds and voltages from you Media Center on your Television?

It's possible now: System Monitor for Media Center

http://www.mcesoft.nl/systemmonitor

System Monitor for Media Center brings the information collected by SPeedfan to your television.

A fully functional installation of SpeedFan is required.

Thanks Chris, I finally found some time (and spirit) to develop some more things for Media Center.

Danee looks great, but I do not see it on mcesoft site.

Will it work in Vista.

Oops, forgot to put the download link in the article, it's there now.

Will it work in Vista... Well, that's my next step, building a Vista version. I will first have to see if SpeedFan runs on it, and then fix another 'problem': I had almost finished an html SDK for Vista, but now that I have the Pre-RC 1 build (5536) I see some changes in MCE that I want to put in that SDK first. When that's done I'll start on converting all my plug-ins to Vista. (and hope the final MCE version doesn't differ to much from 5536)

Cheers,

Danne

Looks good.

I've tried speedfan with other systems but not with any MCE boxes. Will an MCE box drop into standby ok with Speedfan running?

Well, we all know how sensitive the standby is on a Media Center....

My machine has no problem with it, but unfortunatly that doesn't prove it will work for you. I guess you will have to try SpeedFan on it.

It is possible however to configure System Monitor to have it stop SpeedFan when you exit the plug-in, so if you won't let the system go to stanby while System Monitor (and thus SpeedFan) is running it shouldn't be a problem.

Danee

To get back to Richards question if it will work in Vista.

Yes, it does work in Vista, but I think you will like this better: System Monitor for Vista:

Danee,
Thanks for the great app.
I wish all plugins were as easy to install and worked as well as this one.

Very very nice program! i use this on a daily basis as my processor tends to over heat! does anyone know how to speed up the refresh rate of the temps? or this not possible. thanks

---

I am the best

Glad you like it. Unfortunatly SpeedFan has no settings (at least the current version) to change the refreshrate.

Currently the value's are retrieved by System Monitor every 5 seconds, making it retrieve the value's more often wouldn't make a difference as the value's aren't updated faster by System Monitor.

But if you do want to try:

Changing the value of 5000 to a lower number on line 91 setTimeout('GetValues()',5000); in scripts/sysmon.js would make the plug-in retrieve the value's faster.

Cheers,

Danee
