CPU TrayTemperature

A very simple CPU temperature monitor for the system tray. Based on Fergo Tray Temperature

Tons of other softwares already provide this functionality, but I wanted something that specifically only displayed the temperatures in the system tray without any additional user interface or other overheads.

Features

• Minimalistic text display, matching default Windows 10 tray icon style
• Real-time CPU temperatures
• Customizable text colors for each temperature range (low, mid high)
• Customizable refresh interval
• Basic logging functionality
• Celsius and Fahrenheit supported
• Tooltip with statistics (average, minimum, maximum)

Usage

Just run TrayTemperature.exe and a tray icon will be added displaying the CPU temperature.

The application requires elevated priviledges in order to properly acquire the sensor data.

.NET Framework 4.6.1 is required.

Customization

To customize the temperature ranges and their different colors, edit the following section in the TrayTemperature.exe.config file:

<setting name="CPUMed" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ffff00</value>
</setting>
<setting name="CPULow" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ffffff</value>
</setting>
<setting name="CPUHigh" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ff0000</value>
</setting>
<setting name="CPUTempMed" serializeAs="String">
	<value>65</value>
</setting>
<setting name="CPUTempHigh" serializeAs="String">
	<value>80</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPULow" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ffffff</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPUMed" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ffff00</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPUHigh" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ff0000</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPUTempMed" serializeAs="String">
	<value>60</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPUTempHigh" serializeAs="String">
	<value>85</value>
</setting>
