C++ code for CPU load and CPU temperature

Question

I want to see CPU temperature and CPU load in Windows. I have to write it myself not using software like Core Temp. How can I access this information?

I read a similar q

Answer 1

Take a look at Getting CPU temp from MSDN forums, there are a few approaches.

As to the sane way, you can use Win32_TemperatureProbe class, that gets its intel from SMBIOS.
