Discussion about the afterburner configuration file
Discussion about the afterburner configuration file
I have a rainmeter theme that tracks GPU temperatures, fan speeds, heat levels, and usage. It relies on files to gather this data, typically using MSIAfterburner.dll as the default. I'm unsure if the issue is with the version you're using or which files are involved. If you share more details, I can help further.
You're asking about the connection between Afterburner data and Rainmeter's functionality. It seems you're experiencing an issue where the temperature, speed, or other metrics logged by Afterburner aren't being properly read or displayed in Rainmeter. There isn't a standard error message universally, but common problems include file format mismatches, missing permissions, or Rainmeter not recognizing the data source. If you can share the exact error text you're seeing, it would help pinpoint the issue.
They aren't logging; it should simply read them as they happen and show the output.
It seems Afterburner records temperatures, speeds, and saves them as files. That process is essentially logging data. Your question clarifies whether Rainmeter should be pulling information from MSI Afterburner, but isn't capturing it properly. You also mentioned checking the forum link for guidance.
Do they have an option to check CPU temperature? I haven’t found any mention of a program called CoreTemp for this purpose.
I just installed another program, but I'm sure I'll try to understand how to modify it.
Consider downloading Afterburner V3.0.0 and extracting CPU temperature data alongside your other GPU metrics. This approach may simplify the setup.
