Libre Hardware Monitor Plugin for MSI Afterburner

This is a monitoring plugin for MSI Afterburner that exposes hardware monitoring data provided by Libre Hardware Monitor library.

You can use it to get motherboard temperatures, fan speeds, etc. that are not built-in to Afterburner and RTSS OSD without running external monitoring software.

Requirements

• MSI Afterburner (version 4.6.6 used in development)
• .Net Framework >= 4.8
• PawnIO universal kernel driver (technically optional, but required for many sensors)
  • Note: the latest version 2.1.0.0 isn’t compatible with releases prior to v0.8.0

Installing

Download latest release of LibreHardwareMonitor.dll here and place in into Plugins/Monitoring of MSI Afterburner installation folder.

E.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\Plugins\Monitoring

Plugin is standalone, it doesn’t need Libre Hardware Monitor to be installed or running.

Setup

Start MSI Afterburner and go to Settings > Monitoring and click [...] button next to Active hardware monitoring graphs.

In the list of Active plugin modules select and activate the checkmark next to LibreHardwareMonitor.dll.
