Hello everyone, I just upgraded to AM5 platform, cloned my system on a new M.2 drive and now I can't get MSI Afterburner to show me the CPU temperature. I have check-marked both CPU.dll and HwInfo.dll in Active hardware monitoring graphs, I can see the temperature in HWiNFO64 itself, but the MSI Afterburner won't show it. For the clarification, I see "CPU temperature" as an option, I have check-marked it, check-marked "Show in On-Screen Display" but it does nothing now. Did anyone else encounter this problem and how did you solve it? Thanks!

System specs RTX 3080, R7 7800X3D, B650, 2x16 6000MHz CL30, 650W, 2xM.2

(P.S. I m trying to upload a screenshot but I don't see how to do it without having to upload it to another website and then share the link......)

I had issues getting MSI afterburner to show me what I wanted to see, too, in WoW. While trying to find a fix, via google search and came across a WoWhead article about monitoring your hardware in game. It mentioned MSI afterburner and CapframeX. I switched to CapframeX, and have to say I like it better, and it gave me the information I was looking for. https://www.capframex.com/


Side note, you really should do a fresh install of Windows, for a platform upgrade.

Same result, selected CPU temp to be shown and it doesn't appear. Still only visible by HwINFO64
