ObsidianMetrics is my first ever AIDA64 sensor panel, designed from scratch for my own WigiDash PC command panel. While I made this for myself, I know the device is new and there aren't many sensor panels available for it yet, so, I decided to make one and share it here for everyone to use and edit as they please, and since I made it with sharing it in mind, it is packed with many features:
You can get the latest release (and base skin PNG source files) here
- All visible text that isn't a sensor value is editable from within AIDA, and therefore customisable.
- Hand made, slightly Winamp Inspired, dark theme by me specifically for the WigiDash community. With all colour and brightness values tweaked for optimal display on the WigiDash, with unique gauges, and an (hopefully) intuitive default color scheme.
- Includes both background and foreground images for the various sections, this means the subpanels/widgets can be moved as a whole section and re-arranged (by bulk selecting the layers within the AIDA UI). E.g. You could have the two main CPU and GPU graphs change places, or move the entire left column of clock + 5 graphs to the right side instead, etc. If so desired.
- Extensive IO support with sensors from up to four drives, with working blinking read/write LED's for each one (a possible first, since ive not seen this implemented using AIDA before), as well as live useage monitoring, and bars for utilisation.
- Shared with experienced AIDA tweakers in mind, all assets used follow an intuitive naming convention, making Aida's decades old feeling UI a tiny bit easier to navigate.
- All inlcuded image assets are provided with source files, and are meant for you to use/edit/replace as you please.
The panel pulls sensor data from many sensors, and is designed around a one second update interval. I decided to go overboard with the amount of sensors, since its easier to disable/remove the ones you dont need from within AIDA, than adding them.
Large graph for quick glances, with info for temps and fps nearby, as well as power draw.
Large graph for quick glances, with info for temps, current CPU clock speed, and power draw nearby.
Detailed support for up to 4 drives, with useage gauges, and per-drive, blinking, read-write activity LED's!
VRAM and RAM clock speeds, as well as currently available and used values, with large circular gauges for quick glance. VRAM fills clockwise, while RAM fills counter-clockwise, because why not.
It took some doing, but I managed to make a 2D font look 3D-ish while accounting for it changing in real-time, it was fun to do though. It looks a little funky here in the preview, but the colours/pixels are tuned for the WigiDash, and (i think) it looks awesome on there.
Monitor Up and Down data flow, at a glance and with a combined Graph, with blinking red and green arrows to highlight what is active at any given second. The default graph is tuned for a 120Mb connection.
Measures 0 - 120fps by default, can be changed up in AIDA if needed.
Graph covers a range of 20 - 85 °c by default. Hotspot sensor value also highlighted.
Monitor temp of time, as well as fan speed here.
Main memory as used over time, and other related info.
GPU & CPU manufacture logo's can be changed by overwriting or replacing the default image. (Looking at you, team red.) The motherboard name (as seen under the CPU name) is a true sensor value, but both the GPU & CPU names, and driver version, are only editable labels from within AIDA. Sadly, none of those three are shown as a sensor value in AIDA64, and need to be updated/tweaked manually.
