Material Design Hardware Monitor adapts ThatManOnTheMoon's AIDA64 template design to Rainmeter, using HWiNFO as its hardware-data source. Intended for a desktop or case-mounted secondary display, it combines temperatures, utilization, power and fan readings. The port supplies one color scheme and configurable sensor mappings rather than automatically populated hardware values.

What this skin includes

  • Uses HWiNFO gadget-reporting sensor values.
  • Provides 16 configurable sensor-ID variables.
  • Includes CPU and GPU power and fan readings.
  • Can combine space totals across multiple drive letters.
  • Uses vector elements with a ScaleFactor setting.

Setup and limits

Install Rainmeter and the .rmskin contained in the download, then install HWiNFO and open its sensors-only view. Enable reporting to gadgets and select the required sensor values. Copy their index IDs into the skin's corresponding [Variables] entries, then refresh or reload the skin.

The source specifies Windows 10 or later, a desktop PC and a discrete GPU. HWiNFO reporting must be configured; sensor IDs default to -1 and show no data. Laptop, integrated-GPU and older motherboard sensor coverage is explicitly limited. Current Windows-build compatibility has not been independently verified; this research did not install or execute the skin.
