Msi Afterburner Rainmeter
MSI Afterburner includes a proprietary feature. It writes its real-time sensor data (GPU temp, core clock, memory clock, fan speed, power draw, FPS) to a structured block of system RAM. Rainmeter plugins (specifically HWiNFO.dll or the now-legacy MSIAfterburner.dll ) can read this memory block.
Afterburner was the "engine room." It lived in the shadows of the system tray, its finger constantly on the pulse of the GPU. It felt the heat rising in the silicon and heard the whisper of the fans. It was the raw power—the brute force that pushed the clock speeds until the frame rates blurred into liquid motion. msi afterburner rainmeter
