What is Reddit's opinion of Remote System Monitor?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

It's an old white Pixel 2 that was just sitting in a drawer, running PC monitoring software that is super easy to setup vs. a small screen/raspberry pi method. I have a regular USB C cable that keeps it charged plugged into the back of the PC. It stays on even when my PC asleep, the gauges just freeze on the last reading.

I use this one, uses virtually zero system resources and the android app is highly customizable (colors, layout, sensors, etc).

Looks like a play store app called (surprise surprise) remote system monitor.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trigonesoft.rsm

While he didn't outright say he wrote the software it did sort of sound that way based on his post. But considering the UI on that phone I'm guessing english isn't his first language.

Yesterday I was able to get rid of the stutters and the D3D_INIT error by ramping up the fans of my card.

I changed it using msi afterburner, after it hits 50°C the fans climbs up from 40% to 100% when 60%, I also opened my case and used another fan to make it cooler. Extreme measures, but I can now play with constant fps at 1080, before I had to downgrade the resolution and the temps were at 75°C.

Also I disabled shadowplay, steam overlay, msi afterburner monitor, so I can't see my current FPS, but it looks smooth, and no stutters.

I also use Remote System Monitor, to keep track of temperatures without the need of an overlay in the game screen.

I'm really just guessing to be fair at the moment. Try running some monitoring software to give you an idea.

I use that software to monitor my main systems temps, GPU CPU RAM etc on an Android Tab.

Other users have had similar issues and I'm curious also.

Nope, super easy. Used and app called Remote System Monitor. Download the pcversion and put the phone on the same wifi/network. Then you can set up the phone to launch whenever it receives power. I just ran the usb wire to the back and into an open usb port.

I had an old phone Nexus 5X sitting in the drawer, just disabled the BigCores because it had a bootloop issue. But any phone will work.

there are apps that would basically do the same for you, how good they are i can't tell you, a quick search comes up with apps like this:

Thank you so much! The stock FTW3 just doesn't match my PC's aesthetic at all and I've never painted a GPU before so I'm happy it turned out well.

I have a regular USB C cable that keeps it charged plugged into the back of the PC. It stays on even when my PC asleep, the gauges just freeze on the last reading. This method only took me about 30 minutes to setup, I think the raspberry pi method is much more complicated and I think also uses an HDMI slot?

Google suggested Remote System Monitor for Android. For iPhones, Pulseway might be what you're looking for. From the description:
>GET NOTIFIED:
[...]
When the CPU, system or HDD temperature exceeds a specified threshold

Not sure if it can only notify, or also list temperatures though...

What worked for me is to tweak my gpu fans.

• I changed the setting using MSI afterburner to hit 100% at 60°C.
• (Optional) Open your case and use an external fan, I use one of those desk fans to increase air flow. It's hot where I live.
• Get rid of all overlays. Fraps, Steam overlay, MSI afterburner monitoring, Shadowplay.
• (Optional) Use an external app to know your current temperatures, CPU load, HDD load, etc. This will give you an idea of where the bottleneck is. I use Remote System Monitor fo android.

Before this I had to play at 1600 x 900 and had some stutters while driving, GPU at 75°C, now I can play at 1080, GPU at around 55°C.

I recently completed a PC build, and I've seen a trend recently of using an old android device as a system monitor inside of a pc case using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trigonesoft.rsm

example image: https://www.pcgamesn.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/remote-system-monitor.jpg

However, leaving a phone inside of your pc case charging non-stop seems like a very bad idea due to heat generation, expanding battery over time etc.

I would like to know how I should approach making a couple tweaks after rooting the phone (Pixel 2 in this case).

1. Disable battery charging, allowing the phone to get power only from a connected USB cable. The desired behavior is that the battery does not charge at all and the phone only receives power from the PC. When the pc turns off, the phone should turn off/die as well.
2. Automatically open Remote System Monitor when the phone turns on without any user interaction. So when the pc is turned on, the phone boots and opens the app directly.

Are these things possible? How might I go about accomplishing this?

Thank you very much in advance.

Back in Windows 7 I used an app called Remote System Monitor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trigonesoft.rsm

It didn't work in Windows 10 shortly after the very first upgrade wave. I don't see a bunch of recent comments about it not working, so it might be worth a look. Maybe try it if that NZXT cam ends up not working.

You could use NZXT cam.
I use Remote System Monitor. I have it set up on an old Android phone that's dedicated to run as a the client.

Yeah I'm having a hard time finding proof of purchase to order another, until then I'm pretty much at a standstill.

The screen is an old busted S7 Active running Remote System Monitor, works pretty well for only $1. Been in my system for months. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trigonesoft.rsm

Eh, at that point just velcro/3M tape a cheap smartphone or tablet to the bezel of your monitor and run Remote System Monitor

I have been looking for something like that as well (repurpose old phone/tablet for displaying stats/temps etc).

I don't think it's this one, but this is a app that is similar to what he's got going on (unless it's custom/something else)

remote system monitor (play store link)

I'm using this to monitor my computer while gaming. Gives you temps, GPU usage, etc.. You don't need to install anything on the computer, just launch the server.

I searched around, doesn't seem like there's an application that would do that. But I did find this - Remote System Monitor

Just updated the specs with details. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trigonesoft.rsm&hl=en_CA&gl=US

The phone is $20 and the app is $1, the video I linked helps with the settings.

Some people even put lcd stuff in their aquarium style pc cases, including lcd readout AiO coolers. Not really my thing as I don't keep my pc on my desk surface but whatever floats your boat. The fact that you can put custom animated gifs on the nzxt AiO is kind of neat though I have to admit.

PromDapter = Prometheus Adapter

Currently in Pre-Release/Beta stage - Lightly documented - Source available, but not completely buildable due to HWiNFO Provider being private NuGet for the time being

Pre-requisites: - HWiNFO running with Shared Memory enabled and Sensor-mode (window) opened, can be hidden afterwards

v0.9.xx-beta Setup: - Windows 64-bit supported only (should be trivial to make 32-bit, open an issue if needed) - Sets up LocalSystem - running Service called "Prometheus Adapter" (PromDapterSvc) - Service is serving on port 10445 (need to open it in firewall for TCP protocol) - Setup is supposed to not overwrite existing

URLs: [URL]http://localhost:10445/metrics[/URL] - Serves Prometheus-formed metrics

[URL]http://localhost:10445/metrics/help[/URL] - Lists # HELP tagged parts of metrics for (easier?) review of what's available

[URL]http://localhost:10445/metrics/reset[/URL] - Resets internal caches (= reloads "C:\ProgramData\PromDapter\Prometheusmapping.yaml" on next request)

JSON support: [URL]http://localhost:10445/metrics/json[/URL] [URL]http://localhost:10445/metrics/json?option=flattenMeta[/URL]

Configuration/Metric definition: - Modify C:\ProgramData\PromDapter\Prometheusmapping.yaml (save your copy safely elsewhere and copy over + reset with url above) (The installation version of the file is also available in "C:\Program Files\PromDapter")

TODO (next): - Configurable server port (currently fixed 10445) - Configurable metric prefix (currently fixed hwi_)

TODO (needs to be done): - Finish remaining HWiNFO sensors (various voltage, fan sensor naming properly) - Handle naming consolidation properly, ie. Ryzen 2xxx series Tctl needs right now be renamed in HWiNFO to match 1xxx and 3xxx series [/QUOTE]
