With so many giveaways and prizes going on, it is obvious that the XMG Giveaway Virus is still rife and virulent. I seem to have caught a second dose of it. I am giving away 250 XMG to anybody that can help out with some program code and provide the utility I require, or 100 XMG to anybody who can provide a link to a web page that gives me exactly what I am looking for. Believe me, I have tried.
What I need is a standalone executable (does not matter if it needs a few dlls) that reads the CPU temperature and returns it as a number (any units, Kelvins, deciKelvins, whatever) if the data is available, or an error if it is not supported on that CPU. Sounds simple, but it isn't.
I know about using wmic but the command is supported on only a very limited range of CPUs - later Intels, so it seems. The actual data is available from registers on the CPU which may differ from CPU model to model, so it is a bit of a git really. I do not need, or want, a gui utility like many of those available. Something much simpler - just the numbers will do. Ideally I would like to run the utility from a command line and direct the output to a file e.g. GetCPUtemp.exe >temperature.txt but maybe I am asking for too much?
Any takers?
No really ... there's some XMG in it for you ...
Here are the links for lightweight portable HW monitors. The open source one can give sensor output to tray or gadget with right click on sensor.What I need is a standalone executable (does not matter if it needs a few dlls) that reads the CPU temperature and returns it as a number (any units, Kelvins, deciKelvins, whatever) if the data is available, or an error if it is not supported on that CPU.

the other is CPUID HWmonitor. It has multiple core read capability. 64 and 32 bit standalone files in a compressed .zip. It creates an ini file after first launch. You can also manually export data to txt.

The no-fuss monitoring software is Core Temp, with plugin features like remote monitoring, txt logging and other stuff.

You can also ask the developer for the plugin you want. Command line access might already be in the features.
