I have always wanted some way to show my cpu gpu ram motherboard hard drive temps and usage either on a some type of display. As now I have build my computer inside of my desk (will upload a photo) and I wanted an easy way to check on it while one game. I know there are ways to have it display on the screen with the fps counter but that will bother me and to me it would look cooler with a display built in to my desk showing my computer info.

So to sum it up does anyone know how to make a secondary screen show just some text or visuals with only the temps and usage?

As I guess I could do a dual monitor set up and have the secondary screen have something like msi afterburner, but I would prefer to just have the secondary screen only display that program and while in full screen to have the secondary screen unchanged.

Any ideas or thoughts will be greatly appreciated😀
 
Solution
As best as I know, you will have to have a two-display desktop. As you said you just have hardware monitor on the second. You can get smaller displays - they are more commonly used to install as a status display on the front / side / top of a case.

You could just build a solution that uses sensors that you put on the different parts of the computer, without having it running on your actual computer.
Having temperature and voltages probes on all the necessery parts.

I think there are even built solutions available. You'll need to research the market situation yourself on that.
