Hi there
This works for me: (using System.Management, & System.Windows.Forms for the MessageBox)
ManagementClass
processClass = new ManagementClass(@"root\WMI:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature");
foreach (ManagementObject service in processClass.GetInstances())
{
MessageBox.Show("CPU Temperature: " + service.GetPropertyValue("CurrentTemperature"));
}
I found that with all of these posts, some aspects of the replies are right, but in some they fall short.
When you combine the expertise, you come out at something workable.
If you're trying to do the Win32_TemperatureProbe through WMI and you're getting nothing back, it is most likely that your motherboard doesn't have the appropriate driver, needed to expose the value.
If you check in Device Manager under System Devices, you should see ACPI Thermal Zone. If it's there, then the code above should return the current cpu temperature.
If your motherboard drivers exposed the necessary info, then this code from other forums probably would work for you:
SelectQuery myQuery = new SelectQuery("SELECT CurrentReading from Win32_TemperatureProbe");
ManagementObjectSearcher mySearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(myQuery);
foreach (ManagementBaseObject obj in mySearcher.Get())
{
MessageBox.Show("Temp: " + obj["CurrentReading"]);
}
Unfortunately it returns nothing on my box, and I don't have the resources here to test it on others.
But my feeling is that MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature will work for you.
And btw, the output is in 10ths of Kelvin, so to convert, you can use this method...
static
decimal ConvertToCelsius(string reading)
{
return (decimal.Parse(reading) / 10 - 273.15m);
}
