Temperature Icon Meter : Monitor the temperature of your CPU and various other components from a simple system tray icon, with this small, open-source program
Resource-intensive games and applications can put a significant strain on your CPU and other components, which is why monitoring their temperatures can be a good idea, especially if they have been overclocked.Temperature Icon Meter is a tiny, open-source program that can help you keep an eye on temperatures from the system tray. It displays the information via a tray icon, and it enables you to monitor multiple components.
Unobtrusive temperature meter
If you don’t want to have a bunch of overlays on your desktop, but still want to keep an eye on temperatures at all times, this program could be a great choice. The data is only displayed in a system tray icon, which is always visible unless a full-screen game or application is active.While the vertical or horizontal bars that indicate temperature are quite small, their color changes whenever values rise past a dangerous threshold, so it should be easy to tell when action is required. To view more detailed data, simply place the cursor over the tray icon.
Easy to configure and supports multiple components
Temperature Icon Meter can gather information from any temperature sensor attached to your PC’s motherboard, allowing you to monitor your CPU (including separate cores), HDD, SDD and more.Each included sensor will be displayed in the form of a bar in the tray icon. Their orientation is customizable, as are their colors and the thresholds that determine when temperatures are high enough to require the user’s attention.
Lightweight, no-nonsense temperature monitor
Overall, Temperature Icon Meter is a suitable choice for users who want a hassle-free utility that lets them monitor system temperatures in an unobtrusive manner. It can be set up in no time at all, supports multiple types of components and offers a decent number of customization options.
