How can I get the CPU temperature?

by

For others who may come by here, maybe take a look at : http://openhardwaremonitor.org/

Follow that link and at first you might think, “Hey, that’s an application, and that is why it was removed. The question was how to do this from C# code, not to find an application that can tell me the temperature…” This is where it shows you are not willing to invest enough time in reading what “Open Hardware Monitor” also is.

They also include a data interface. Here is the description:

Data Interface
The Open Hardware Monitor publishes all sensor data to
WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). This allows other
applications to read and use the sensor information as well. A
preliminary documentation of the interface can be found here (click).

When you download it, it contains the OpenHardwareMonitor.exe application, and you’re not looking for that one. It also contains the OpenHardwareMonitorLib.dll, and you’re looking for that one.

It is mostly, if not 100%, just a wrapper around the WinRing0 API, which you could choose to wrap yourself if you feel like it.

I have tried this out from a C# application myself, and it works. Although it was still in beta, it seemed rather stable. It is also open source, so it could be a good starting point instead.
