I had another thought the Network sharing feature. HWiNFO64.exe, HWiNFOMonitor.exe, rainmeter.exe and sidebar.exe are all running as the Local Administrator account. So that probably won't be it ? It's behaving as if I had not enabled Shared Mem / Not running Sensors, even though I know I am as Rainmeter's talking to it OK.Īlthough I wouldn't normally and don't really intend to keep using it that way if possible, I am actually currently logged in as the Local Administrator, and HWiNFO is running as that user. I prefer my way around the config (when it works)īut the HWInfo Gadget, won't detect HWInfo running at all. I have Rainmeter+ModernGadgets running and it can read the sensors just fine so long as I don't untick shared memory or close Sensors instead of minimising, so I know that the shared mem stuff is working, and can break/fix this easily at will. Shared Memory is enabled, Sensors are running. Still a decent old workhorse, plus it's loaded with 18 (yes, 18) lots of 4GB ECC RAM (because DDR3 ECC is cheap and board has 18 slots) so it has its uses.Īnyway, back to the point I cannot get the gadget to work properly on this server.



Less overall performance than the i7 and draws more Power both when idle, and under load. It's older hardware, but still has good support in HWInfo a Tyan S7012 with Twin Quad Core Xeon L5630, for a total of 8 Cores, 16 Threads, at around 2.3Ghz. The box runs the Desktop-Experience variant of Server 2019 (I might otherwise have used Server Core but there are still just a handful of things I want to keep that GUI for, and it's got plenty of spare resources) I also have a Server box that I want to monitor Temps and CPU utilisation on, and set about setting up something similar.
