OpenHardwareMonitor.EnableDerivedSensors(Area, TimeSpan) Method

Definition

Adds some special derived sensors.

  • For each power sensor, this adds another sensor that integrates power over time and so generated the energy used in W/h or more conveniently, Kilowatthours (this is the unit the electricity bill bases on)
  • Gives the heat flux for the primary CPU, using the given CPU die size (or a default value)
public void EnableDerivedSensors (UnitsNet.Area cpuDieSize = default, TimeSpan monitoringInterval = default);
member this.EnableDerivedSensors : UnitsNet.Area * TimeSpan -> unit
Public Sub EnableDerivedSensors (Optional cpuDieSize As Area = Nothing, Optional monitoringInterval As TimeSpan = Nothing)

Parameters

cpuDieSize
UnitsNet.Area

Die size of your CPU, optional. Find your CPU on https://en.wikichip.org/ to find out. Note: This value is usually much smaller than the size of the physical CPU.

monitoringInterval
TimeSpan

Monitoring interval for the derived sensors. Defaults to 500ms.

Exceptions

monitoringInterval is less than 0.
