CPU Graph

CPU Graph is a gadget developed for the Yahoo! Widget Engine, that shows on your desktop the current CPU level and processor temperature, according to the data it gathers from SpeedFan. It includes a few configurable parameters.

The interface is made from a small frame that shows the temperature in Celsius and CPU level in percent, along with a graphical representation.

From the Widget Preferences area you can modify the default SpeedFan log file, adjust the temperature and processor usage refresh rate (in seconds), as well as modify the display unit.

Thanks to the built-in Yahoo! Widget Engine options, you can also make the frame stay on top or beneath all the other windows, ignore mouse events and prevent dragging. Plus, you can set its opacity to a preset level, ranging from 20% to 100%.

The small tool is very light on the system resources, using a minimal amount of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and shows accurate information. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests, and the program did not hang or crash. Thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity, CPU Graph should satisfy all types of users, regardless of their skill level.
