<p>Next up in the &quot;floating status window&quot; category is <a href="https://github.com/ckaczor/SystemTemperatureStatusWindow">SystemTemperatureStatusWindow</a>. This one does exactly what it says on the tin - it shows various system temperature values.</p>

<p>The sensor data is read using the <a href="http://openhardwaremonitor.org/">Open Hardware Monitor</a> library which is pretty straightforward - the one catch is that it requires running as an administrator and getting a UAC prompt each time the application starts got a bit annoying after a while.</p>
<p>I first tried to solve this by splitting the application into two parts - a Windows service that ran with administrator privileges to read the sensors and a normal application to handle the display. While this got past the annoying UAC prompts (after the service was installed) I found that Windows doesn't let you get GPU information from inside a Windows service.</p>
<p>After doing some more research I came across a workaround of using the Windows Task Scheduler to run the service as an administrator. I just turned the service into a regular application and set up the Task Scheduler to run it on system startup - problem solved.</p>
