One last question, can it be run as a service that starts when windows starts?
yes you can simply create symlink to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and program starts on startup.
do you want me to send you dev ´version with CPU temp ?

Joke. He did your readme PR.
Sensor suggestions:
% memory use
CPU load
GPU temperature

Ok… But from the first link you posted, where do you get to that page.
I’m not used to GitHub, but I can’t find the second page from the first page.
I thought you downloaded from here:
