Anybody use Open Hardware Monitor?
Great utility, typical of open-source software, but I don't know how to
reset everything. Like if I clumsily set the fan speed maximum two 2 billion RPM and I want to get it back to the starting levels without doing it manually with the scroll wheel. I can reset the time bar by choosing a time option. But how do you reset the minimum and maximum chart values? Thanks. |

Do they use the Registry for their settings, or being Open Source, have they left a file in %userprofile% for this purpose ? You can watch the program using ProcMon (Process Monitor) from Sysinternals.com if you want, and detect registry transactions there. When a person writes a program, sometimes they attempt to store preferences in a file stored in the Program Files folder. This is verboten. On a modern OS, the file ends up actually stored in a Roaming folder. The Program Files folder set is owned by TrustedInstaller, so you would not normally have permission to write in there. And then storage of preference files would fail. But since the OS has a "redirection trick" it uses so programs of that sort won't break, it gives the impression it worked. In any case, whether I'm looking for WriteFile transactions or Registry operations, those could be tracked in Process Monitor. By setting the filter in Process Monitor, you can ask it to only show you transactions for the program you're working on. You could also use Regedit and search for the key in there, but it doesn't take much to make finding it almost impossible. For example, if the Registry entry used "OHM" instead of "Open Hardware Monitor", you'd have fun finding it. That's why I'm recommending ProcMon as an alternative, in case the program is "hiding".

Right clicking on an entry and selecting the filter option allows excluding everything else. And that removes the clutter. I used it for something else after you mentioned it. Currently, I'm trying MSI Afterburner for hardware monitoring. After finding a readable skin, it looks better than Open Hardware Monitor. And it allows tweaking the GPU. |
