Hey Martin,
This may be a long shot, but is there any chance you would be willing to add a "run program or 'execute terminal command' every x intervals" feature to hwinfo?
This would be super useful for these custom values. For example, I am using this as part of a couple of batch files that I am using to change EPP (Windows/Intel power management algorithm) on a handheld gaming PC. These batch files automatically adjust the registry key, but outside of running those two batch files, it never gets updated.
Which is ultimately fine for me, personally, but I've been sharing these files and tools with other people and trying to come up with a way to add this "EPP" value to RTSS automatically (even if it means replacing their entire OSD) for the less technically inclined amongst the community. It would be nice for those who don't wish to use the rest of my tools (there are plenty of alternatives) to be able to do so.
Alternatively...
Is there any chance you could add the currently defined EPP to one of the CPU sensors?
From the CPU side it is defined at MSR 0x774 and 0x772 (both with the same value) as a sliding value from 0-255; though Windows usually represents it as a percentage.
0x774 0x0000000 0x%EPPHex%000000
0x772 0x0000000 0x%EPPHex%000000
From the Windows Power Plan side it is defined at:
scheme_current SUB_PROCESSOR PERFEPP
If the answer of both of these is no, that's fine. Thanks for the excellent tool, and for your time.
Thanks for the tip about the alert, that is a great way to do exactly this - and the 'only notify every 30 seconds' is a good throttle on the number of .bats that have to run.You can setup an alarm to launch any command. If you set a level that will always be triggered you should achieve what you're looking for.
As for showing the HWP Energy_Performance_Preference value, I don't think this would be useful for permanent monitoring.
Hi Martin,
Is it possible to use average values from sensors in hwinfo64 for calculation?
For example i want to calculate remaining battery time dependet on average (dis-) charge rate as shown in sensor window.
So i thought a calculation could look something like this:
-1*("Remaining Capicity"/avg("Charge Rate"))
Sadly its not working that way, it will always give me current charge rate as value for calculation.
okay i see.
Is there a way then to calculate with sensor values for a system tray icon? I attached a file that shows what i mean.
(In the circled spot i typed: 1/remaining capacity

Hi Martin,
Issue: I have 2 sensors named "CPU":
- "motherboard CPU sensor", measured in Celsius,
- "motherboard CPU fan sensor", measured in RPM.
When I create "Fan0" sensor with: Value -> REG_SZ -> "CPU", it retrieves Celsius value from "motherboard CPU sensor" and show its like RPM.
Issue appears: on hwinfo64 7.40-5000 and on hwinfo64 7.41-5005 Beta
Cause of issue: some motherboards having multiple sensors named equally.
Suggested solution: on resolving formula -> for equally named sensors -> prefer sensors with "value type" as in sensor name.
Wow, thank you.You can rename any sensor, so for example rename the CPU fan sensor to "CPU fan" That should help to uniquely address the items.
Your custom sensor node seems to be collapsed, click the arrow to left of its name to expand it.
As for the entry, you're missing an additional ClockX node. So: Custom -> Core Temps -> Clock0 -> ...
Rename the "CCD 0 - Vcache" key (you call "folder") to "Clock0"
