Read CPU temperature of Desktop PC running LabVIEW Real-Time

[SteffenHu]

Is it possilbe to read the CPU temperature of a Desktop PC running LabVIEW Real-Time? I found an older example that allows to read the temperature of PXI systems (http://www.ni.com/example/29538/en/). Is there a possibility for Desktop Real-Time Machines as well?

Regards,

Hi this is heavily dependent from your specific Hardware. Which PC or more specific which main board do you use?

I found several examples in the NI forum that try to access the CPU data.  

I’m using a Dell machine and both temperature VI’s are not working for me.

Hope you have more luck.
