...Downvoted for a giveaway? Thanks guys, great way to make me post here again :P
I can't play the closed beta right now since my desktop is at my new home (we're moving) so I figured I'd give it to someone else but wow.
EDIT: Holy crap, you guys are awesome. Since there is a lot of demand for my wallpapers, all I did was go to Google Images and search for "bokeh" which is an effect in photography. These are the ones I am currently using.
I'm using Better Start Menu to customize the tiles and Sidebar Diagnostics for the bar with system info. Here's an album of the images in case you are interested in any of them.
Sidebar Diagnostics, based on Open Hardware Monitor, is also a pretty neat tool: https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics
As the name suggests, it displays system stats in a sidebar on your desktop.
If you have a second monitor i recommend this Sidebar Diagnostics
You can see pictures here
A reddit user made this application which monitors hardware info and displays it on the screen. Especially useful if you have a second screen.
I use this guy on my second monitor! https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics
It's kinda similar to what you have there but it displays on my monitor.. It shows you specs, clock speeds on your cores (you can choose which cores iirc) RAM usage out of overall, all drive info and network speeds. As well as time, and day of month. :)
quick gyazo shot: https://gyazo.com/c546155064b9c467731f1769318ca3da
edit: you can change the coloring of it to anything of your liking as well, that's just how I have mine
It's called Sidebar Diagnostics. It was made by a guy on this subreddit and is basically a hardware monitor
Download setup.exe here and just run it: https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics/releases
Github usually provides the source code at a raw level, and sometimes a separate installer for those who don't really care about the code.
Sidebar Diagnostics is pretty cool. Customisability is high, and it looks nice.
Here's an old pic of my sidebar. I have it on the right of my right (non primary) monitor, and it's useful to keep track of temps and ram usage.
No offense but that wallpaper has a low resolution.
Also there's too much shit going on at the same time
You might consider Side Bar Diagnostic for a cleaner look
We used to have gadgets that you could add on the desktop for that and you could probably find a way to bring them to win 10 if you searched hard enough.
I am currently using this thing though: https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics/releases
It does everything you want but you probably gonna want to customize it to suit your needs. You can customize pretty much everything about it. Check it out.
Here is the thread by the dev:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/41x7xa/couldnt_find_a_simple_diagnostic_sidebar_so_i/
Well, Asus's website should let you download AI Suite 3 which will allow you to view temps and fan speeds and change fan speeds, except for the graphics card. For that, you will need to probably use MSI afterburner.
To view temps and what not, I personally always have this swanky program running by u/ArcadeRenegade on my second monitor. The only thing it does not show is chasis and CPU fan speeds (don't care much for them anyways, mainly care about temps), but beside that, I highly recommend it. Gives you a dashboard of practically everything else, CPU and GPU load, RAM usage, ect.
From the pics you posted, your CPU is running really hot. However, you also said you are hitting 100% CPU usage, which would mean it isn't actually at idle and something is using it.
Post a picture that shows your CPU temp and active processes at the same time. You'll need two different programs.
For processes Task Manager or Process Explorer (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx)
For temp, I like Open Hardware Monitor (http://openhardwaremonitor.org/) or something fancy like Sidebar Diagnostics (https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics/releases)
MSI Afterburner does this exceptionally well. here is the bottom portion of my second monitor looks like (portrait orientation). google drive link to pic I have CPU and GPU usage together, CPU and GPU temps together, and RAM and GPU memeory in the 3rd graph. You can also click and drag this out to see all the history.
The bit you see on the far right is a program called Sidebar Diagnostics by Happy Media with a transparent background. It can also be solid grey. I use it because afterburner doesn't have a good solution for hard drive capacity or network traffic.
I normally use CAM only. I also like to tag on GPU-Z for detailed info about my GPU.
I recently found this sidebar app from a fellow redditor, and it looks clean and sleek.
It's not rainmeter, it's called sidebar diagnostics or something like that. Really cool. Found the link on /r/buildapc I think but didn't keep it :(
Found it: https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics
You need to install v4.6.1 not v4.6.0
Or use the .NET 4.5.2 version of my sidebar instead
Just in case someone have the same question in the future, I found a pretty good alternative for W11: https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics
Although I would still prefer XMeter if it worked on W11 but sadly it doesn't
Decided to do a quick check of rainmeter.net… and found this. It
may be worth posting to rainmeter or the AHK forum.
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=13821&p=78858&hilit=keyboard+connected#p78858 what you are looking for could build off of thisl. Lots of helpful info here https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Also found this open source... may be able to add connected devices

I use Sidebar Diagnostics, pretty straightforward on my Windows 10 desktop, afaik it doesn't have an onscreen display for games though, I use MSI Afterburner for that.
Got 2 monitors, and on my second monitor I have https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics running
So I can see usage, temps, fanspeeds etc. Without any overlays.
There is also MSI Afterburner with Rivatuner for overlays.
You also have Xbox Gamebar which now shows temps and the likes (but not as an overlay).
Xbox Gamebar shows your temperatures now.
HW Monitor is a free and open source tool that you can use as well.
MSI afterburner uses HW Monitor to read those temps and provide overlays.
None of this affects performance, it's just reading counters.
I also use https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics
Have it running on my second monitor.
I was checking the performance with a with a program similar like afterburner and trying diferent settings; for the lulz I try in ultra and 200% render and I got 100% video usage and just a 60% on CPU. I was checking and my motherboard has PCIE 2.0, has something to do with that?
I have an IPS and get 6-8 hrs when working on the laptop. That means I have it on highest brightness, cause the display is not too bright in the daylight and I run MSTeams, Citrix Receiver and am Browsing. The CPU I use in a balanced mode then, so at 50%. The CPU is pretty effective, except for the turbo spikes, if you can get rid of those, it will be almost at its energy efficiency peak.
If you'ld only use it for browsing and word, I think you'll get nearer to the 8 hrs. In my case, I am nearer to 6 hrs.
I guess Windows manages the overall energy efficiency pretty good if you change nothing to the OS. Yet the turbo boost surges, increase the laptops overall heat dissipation when running. If you limit the CPU to 2,6 Ghz base freq, it will stay around 48 - 50 °C. With turbo boost on its more often at 60 °C.
A good tool to monitor all of that for windows is this: https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics
But be aware the tool itself can have an impact on the cpu freq and falsify the measurement.
In Linux I do the same and get the same results. There I have 8-9 Watts when idling with WLAN and highest brightness (alone the dedicated nvidia GPU draws 3-5 watts on idle, you cant do nothing about). Given its 78 Wh battery that would be then 8 - 10 hours. If I run all my programs (and a virtual machine I use in Linux on 1 Cpu @ 512 MB Ram), it will draw 13 - 20 Watts. So 4 - 6 hrs runtime then.
When I do game design with the Unreal Engine 4 in Linux it will spike due to the nvidia powering up. Then I get roughly 2-4 hours.
When gaming all maxed out on battery, I get one and a half hour, so I guess the battery per design goes up until 50 or 60 Watts max. On AC the max are 131 Watts for a brief period then the cpu will temperature throttle.
If you have a 2nd Monitor , try SidebarDiagnostics , it provides Temps for both CPU+GPU and SSD Info , Time , etc .
Screenshot:
i run an app called sidebar diagnostics (https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics) that shows me my current speeds. I noticed it because my gpu was running warmer than normal - its supposed to go down to 300mhz or lower when im just browsing, not stay at 1500.
You could use a software like https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics and ask it to show you your external IP in the network settings.
Here’s the link to the GitHub issue. Scroll down to the bottom and you can see some people’s response (including mine) on what was fixed. About 4 messages from the bottom you’ll see the comment from the owner with the patched version included
it’s Sidebar Diagnostics. It’s cool but I’ve been unable to get it display certain things like cpu temp, cpu voltage, cpu frequency, ram voltage/speed and some others. Dunno if it’s the program or my pc that’s the problem
If it's hardware then monitor your temperatures, this is a common one - try installing this and monitor throughout the day. It's a hardware monitor gives you cool stats.
https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics/releases
If you can still hear other people while it's "off" then it could be GPU. Trying connecting your monitor to the onboard Intel GPU to rule out your discreet card.
Yeah, it sounds like it, but I have my computer stats running on my second monitor in a sidebar (actually I recommend using it, it's awesome, made by a fellow redditor: https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics)
And everything is fine, memory is fine, CPU, GPU, everything is normal.
Unless the client is 32bit (which would really surprise me) I see no memory leak

Do you mean something that displays these statistics on your desktop on the monitor?
I tried Rainmeter but It didn't do what I wanted in a simple way. I eventually found a simpler app called Sidebar Diagnostics
I use Sidebar Diagnostics for daily tracking of general temps and usage% etc.
If I'm stress testing/overclocking, I'll generally use Speccy and/or HWMonitor.
See if this link works... if not you can download it from here
I have steam open all the time, maximized one one of my monitors. Whenever I need more space, I just cover it up with waterfox or file explorer or whatever other application I want to use.
EDIT: My standard set up is steam on my vertical monitor on my left, web browser in the 1200p in the middle, and then discord and the reddit made Sidebar Diagnostics on the third monitor (4:3) on the right.

OK thank you very much. The screenshot and data from the monitor debug program helped a lot. It looks like the width reserved space needed to be multiplied by your DPI scaleX (2.25).
You will still need to use the offset for now though. I'm still trying to find where that about -100 horizontal offset is coming from.
https://github.com/ArcadeRenegade/SidebarDiagnostics/releases/tag/2.4.6
The program checks for new releases on github on startup. But you have to manually download and extract them.
I have plans for an automatic background update system but I am waiting for my code signing certificate from GoDaddy to get approved first.
Gotcha. I think I need to still account for your monitors DPI scale when settings the sidebar width and reserved space.
Here is a new version:
