Adds a new tab in openrgb where you can set a hardware item, a light output and then make a color (and brightness maybe?) gradient by just inputting a few numbers and colors, and openrgb will do all the fading in between. I have my GPU temp set to my motherboard light. Compared to my rainmeter setup, it’s easier to get a general vibe at a glance and more eye catching if it gets unusually hot.
That’s absolutely awesome! I haven’t checked the plugins in a while. :) Thanks for the share, friend!
Yeah, I feel like it’s almost intuitive if my case lighting is reporting its temperature. In that case if things start turning all red, something is up. Lol
In Win10, I used Corsair’s iCUE to have my numpad lights report individual core temps. (And numpad enter was my GPU I think)
So hopefully I can find a way to do something similar here. :)
I think you could do that with openrgb and both the visual map plugin (same link as I posted before) and hardware sync. I haven’t specifically tried it, but from what I have done, I think it’s quite doable.
Use visual map to create individual control over numpad lights (as opposed to keeping them grouped up with the rest of the keyboard, which gives less options), and then in theory you should be able to map any temp reading to any key that you’ve separated from the group.
There’s more than just temps as options too. Poking through, I saw stuff like power draw and clock speeds, ram usage/availability, and ethernet throughput. Could be fun to map stuff like that, though likely that would have less utility in most situations.
Hardware Sync Plugin can help with this: https://openrgb.org/plugins.html

I don’t think CKB-Next can do that 🤔
