ACPI thermal/fan speed tools

Is there any ACPI-based CPU temperature and fan speed measurers?

Can I use WMI to write my own?

I’m tired a bit from MBM which uses DLPORTIO driver to access the chipset ports from user mode and has lots of chipset-dependent
code. This is counter-elegant, and conflicts with some software - namely “VDMS” SB16 emulator for NTVDM (NT’s prior to XP had no
such ability, and XP’s one is bad).

Sure. It’s all exposed via WMI. We wrote a GUI tool that dumps it,
which we have distributed at lots of Plugfests. I’m not sure if it’s
available for download or not. Search for “tztool.”

If you want to write your own, that’s not hard. The MOF is built in, so
you can dump it with wbemtest.exe.

Hello,

Sure. It’s all exposed via WMI. We wrote a GUI tool that dumps it,

No success !

Now is good point to make this information (source code)
public. I will use this information too and have no
fun to write a device driver, read soms chip infos …
too have thermal/fan/speed information.
