The Open Hardware Monitor is a free open source software that monitors temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of a computer. (The WMI way is not working for me, but I will still post the code and you can have a try)

If you have any problems on getting the CPU temperature, feel free to post your questions here! In this post, I will show you one way that can definitely work on everyone's computer by Openhardwaremonitor. I find many solutions but most of them don't work for me. The most difficult part of this project is getting the CPU temperature. These days, I'm trying to make a smart fan cooling system for my baby Lattepanda. I brought one 2/32g LattePanda and used as a normal computer, only $89!!! Due to its powerful hardware and small size, heat dissipation inevitably becomes a problem ( More details about LattePanda, click here).

It features an upgraded Z8350 CPU (up to 1.92GHz) and a more stable RTL8723BS Wi-Fi chip (2.4G 802.11n). The LattePanda is a full Windows 10 compatible single board computer based on the Intel Cherry Trail CPU.
