Guys,
I'm looking for a software that can run Windows 8 and display current CPU Usage & Temperatures. Not something that I have to open & look at - but something that can be placed on the Desktop.
The Workstation has Dual 8 Core Xeon's; effectively 16 cores. I don't necessarily need to see Usage & Temperature of every core (Although it would be nice); but I would like to at least be able to see Usage & Temperature of each CPU.
RAM Usage would be nice too.
Back in the day, I used to use a software called Samurize; highly customizable and would read info straight from WMI (Or WHI? Forgot!). Unfortunately that software was last updated in 2011.
Most applications I have looked at either don't display usage & temperature for dual Xeon's; or cannot be placed on the Desktop.
Just wondering if something else out there I missed.
Thanks!!

Sounds to me like you want Rainmeter

If I can figure the damn thing out! LOL.
I've played with it in the past - and unless you're willing to use available skins and use exactly what they have; just the way they have it; it's one hard thing to customize & configure.
Also, I'm not 100% sure if it can handle 2 CPU's. Every skin & example I've seen only shows one.
Still ... I'll give it another shot.
Open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks.

The problem I'm having with Rainmeter is the same base problem I'm having with anything else. None of the Applications/Plugins that I'm installing are even acknowledging the 2nd processor -- as if it's not even there.
I've tried:
- CoreTemp
- SpeedFan
- RealTemp
- HWMonitor
None of these show me the temperature or load for the 2nd processor. They all seem to show me only the single 8 Core / 16 Thread Xeon; not the second one. Rainmeter relies on plugins like above to display temperature & other info; since the native application itself isn't showing information for both processors - Rainmeter is helpless.
At this point I'm looking for a software that will show me usage & temperature of both physical Xeon processors.

I think that Rainmeter shows an average of all installed CPUs

That is correct! Although, in doing so - you really have no way of knowing if it's actually reading & averaging both CPU's or not.
I'd like to be able to see load & temperature for both physical CPU's separately. Not necessarily every individual core or thread of the 16 cores & 32 threads, though that would be nice, but at the very least - the CPU's individually.
