c# - How do I get the NVIDIA core temperature in an integer value? -

i taking arduino microcontroller class , i'm working on final project: automated computer cooling system works according case temperature.

i unable nvidia gpu core temp using following sources: this msdn link or this nvidia link. how can value of temperature of gpu?

my knowledge in c# basic , couldn't make heads tails on manual or code examples in msdn.

i'm gonna go ahead , answer own question after long time of searching how found way data.

using openhardwaremonitor.dll open source links able needed.

this code used in windows c# application (it might not best way gets job done.

hope finds helpful:

using openhardwaremonitor.hardware;
