Extracting CPUs temperature and coolers RPM

You might be able to to use the temperatureproble class in Windows Management Instrumentation

There might also be vendor specific API's for your particular board if the above method doesn't work for you.

How do I use that class? Where to download it? I dont understand what I need to do to read a temp. Can you give an example?

Try this:

Im sorry but i cant use that code because i dont have vb.net and i cant add a listview to a form. Do you know example for "regular" VB?

That code is for VB 6, not .NET from the article:

 
Applies to:   VB5, VB6

Read the info provided in the link.
You probably need to put a listview into your toolbox (which is why you don't see it available)
You don't need the listbox for it to work, though.

Public Sub GetInfo()

   Dim wmiObjSet As SWbemObjectSet
   Dim obj As SWbemObject   'CurrentProbe


   On Local Error Resume Next
   Set wmiObjSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}"). _
                              InstancesOf("Win32_TemperatureProbe")
   
    Dim strOutput As String
   
   For Each obj In wmiObjSet
   
   
    strOutput = strOutput & CStr(obj.Description) & vbTab
    strOutput = strOutput & CStr(obj.Name) & vbTab
    strOutput = strOutput & CStr(obj.DeviceID) & vbTab
    strOutput = strOutput & CStr(obj.Resolution) & vbTab
    strOutput = strOutput & CStr(obj.Tolerance) & vbTab
    strOutput = strOutput & obj.Accuracy / obj.Resolution / obj.Tolerance & " %"
 
   Next
   
   MsgBox strOutput
   
End Sub


As the article explains, on some systems you may not be able to get certain info.

Ok i found a listview and added it and command1 to the form and I copied that code from the link above and added a reference for"Microsoft WMI Scripting v1.2 library" to vb6 and when I started prog and tried to click on a button nothing happened! All fields in listview were blank. What for is that code in your last reply? I copied code from the link you gave me: http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/wmi/wmitemperatureprobe.htm
Have you tried using that code from this link? Why doesnt it work?

It might be the way your system is configured.  The author of the article explains that.  The code above was so you didn't need a listview.

The code wont work on both my computers. The temperature probe is installed in my system im certain and in bios I can normally read temperature but why cant I read it in vb? What could be wrong?
