Motherboard Sensors

[eSolTec, Inc. 501(c)(3)]

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance, it is GREATLY appreciated.
Two questions;
1. Is there a way in VB.NET 2005 to query a motherboard to see if there are
certain sensors? i.e. CPU temp sensor, Fan speed sensor, hard drive temp
sensors etc?
2. Is there a way to Get the information, if it's available into VB.NET 2005?

Re: Motherboard Sensors

Hello Michael,

have a look to the Win32_Temperatu reProbe class [WMI]. By using the
ManagementObjec tSearcher you can gather several information.

Example (I couldn't verify it, cause my mainboard does not report
temperatures):
Private Sub listTemperature s()

Dim searcher As New System.Manageme nt.ManagementOb jectSearcher("S ELECT *
FROM Win32_Temperatu reProbe")

For Each service As System.Manageme nt.ManagementOb ject In searcher.Get()
System.Console. Write(service(" Name").ToString & ": ")
System.Console. WriteLine(servi ce("CurrentRead ing").ToString & "°C")
Next service

End Sub


Other system information might be found in other WMI classes (see MSDN).

Greetings, Lars
