Can Rainmeter grab measurements from the dll or FanControl?

[davodavo1]

Hi all. First, let me congratulate you on a fine, solid piece of software! I've been running Fan Control on my x31 for 2 years now.

I've recently started to use Rainmeter (http://rainmeter.net/RainCMS/) for all my system measurements, but it doesn't have a native measurement for system temperature or fan speed. While it CAN grab that data from outside (nice plugin architecture calls dlls), the only fan-oriented plugins I see are for other fan-speed utilities.

I'm not budging from Fan Control...but is there a way to grab the temp measurements and fan speed info from an outside program? Assuming the dll does expose this info, I'd need to know the parameter names and any other specifics so that Rainmeter can interrogate the dll properly.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

I don´t know if this can help you any further, but you may want to take a look at Everest Ultimate. It supports impressively wide range of hardware and measures pretty much everything in a system one could think of...

Everest looks interesting.
But of course, it isn't free / open source.
