Xeneon Edge Widget : Sensor Graph Plus

Xeneon Edge Widget : Sensor Graph Plus

A highly customizable graph widget for Corsair dashboard LCD screens (e.g. Xeneon Edge) that plots up to three sensors at once, with a secondary axis for mixing sensor ranges and units, plus rolling statistics (min/max/average) for each sensor.

Features

  • Up to three sensors — Primary and Secondary sensors each get their own axis (left/right); an optional third sensor (Additional) shares the legend and can be plotted against either existing axis. Each sensors value is drawn on the chart and the average is displayed as a dotted line across the chart.
  • Dual axis support — Primary Sensor plots on the left axis, Secondary Sensor on the right, so you can graph sensors with very different ranges/units (e.g. temperature °C alongside fan RPM) on the same chart without one flattening the other.
  • Per-sensor customization — Each sensor gets its own label override, color, and axis min/max override (leave blank to use sensible defaults based on sensor type/kind/units).
  • Live legend with trend indicators — Each sensor's legend entry shows its current value, connection state, and a trend arrow/rate computed over a fixed 1-minute window, independent of the chart/statistics windows.
  • Configurable chart window — Slider (1–30 minutes) controlling how much history is drawn on the graph.
  • Configurable statistics window — Separate slider (1–30 minutes) controlling the rolling average/min/max shown in the statistics area, independent of the chart window.
  • Full widget personalization — Text color, accent color, background color, background image, background brightness, glass blur, and background transparency, matching the look of other widgets in this repo.
  • Graceful loading/empty states — Shows "Loading sensors…", "Select a sensor in the widget settings.", or "Sensor unavailable" as appropriate instead of a blank chart.

Usage

  1. Download the widget from GitHub - Releases · DevBiker/iCUE-Widgets
  2. Install the widget and add it to a supported dashboard LCD screen surface in iCUE.
  3. Open the widget's settings and, under Widget Setup:
    • Pick a Primary Sensor (defaults to a temperature sensor). Optionally set its label, color, and min/max axis bounds.
    • Toggle Show Secondary Sensor to add a second sensor (defaults to load %) plotted on the right axis, with its own label/color/min/max.
    • Toggle Show Additional Sensor to add a third sensor (defaults to a fan sensor). It doesn't get its own axis — use Additional Sensor on Secondary Axis to choose whether it's plotted against the Primary or Secondary axis scale.
    • Adjust Chart Window and Statistics Window to control how much history is graphed vs. how much history the averages/min/max are computed over.
  4. Under Widget Personalization, adjust text/accent/background colors, optionally set a background image, and tune brightness, glass blur, and transparency to match your theme.
  5. Leave any sensor's Min/Max field blank to let the widget auto-select a reasonable axis range based on the sensor's type, kind, and units.

Comments

I like to look at multiple related sensors at the same time. Traditionally, I've done this by creating pretty involved dashboards - only to have iCUE mess up the layout if I don't open it maximized. Ugh.

But even then, the values are on different sensors. And what is the time range of the chart? Can I set that? And the chart's min/max ... what a source of confusion. It's constantly changing to you really can't tell where you are with just a glance at the output. And why can't it show me a trend? With all of the noise, calculating a trend can be pretty helpful.

So when I finally had some spare time, I sat down to see if I could create a widget that would show me more data AND allow me to easily compare different sensor values, even if they had vastly different ranges. Sensor Graph Plus is the result of that.

This is the initial release. Testing has been limited so far and focused on horizontal/landscape display orientation. Please submit an issue via GitHub if you encounter any problems.

4500X - Dead Sexy!

With smooth curves in all the right places, this case is just dead sexy. There's no other way I can put it.

Photos don't do it justice. This case is a sight to behold. The smooth, supple curve in the right places set it apart from other cases that I've built in.

I remember when cases were all beige and you picked your case based on the number of internal and external drive bays. They were not only boring; they embraced their boringness.

But cases today aren't boring anymore and the 4500X takes this to a new level. I look at it and want to caress its curves and stare in awe at just how gorgeous it is.

This build includes the whole family of Corsair fans, too. This build has QX (Rear), RX (AIO), LX-R (Bottom) and RS-R (Side), with the RS fans connected to the Link hub with a Commander Duo and all controlled as one happy family by iCUE. Cable management is straightforward and easy. The included RS-R fans are already well managed; adding in the Link and power fans is easy. I could have managed these cables better but I didn't spend much time on it. I really just routed them a bit and tied them up - no real work involved. It simple and I was able to decently manage the cables with minimal fuss.

Airflow is very good. I did several experiments with various fan curves and settings.

I found that higher speeds on the rear exhaust and side intake with lower speeds at the bottom create a flow of cool air across the top of the motherboard and under the radiator's intake fans - you can see this in the thermal image. For simplicity, side and rear fans used the "Extreme" preset and the bottom fans used the "Quiet" preset, both set to GPU temperature as the control. Radiator fans were set to "Balanced" using the coolant temperature. It could be fine tuned, to be sure, but this was easy to configure and worked well to manage the heat in the system. Lower speeds, particularly on in the rear exhaust, caused heat from the GPU to be pulled into the radiator, resulting in higher temperatures on the coolant temperature. You can see the heat from the GPU being pulled out of the case by the rear fan in the infrared imaging. Higher speeds on the bottom fans wound up pushing heat from the GPU into the radiator - again, increasing coolant temps (by ~2C) with no measurable impact on GPU temps compared to having lower-speed fans. Even at the lower speeds, there was a 4C difference in GPU temps. While this still kept temperatures well within acceptable ranges, higher powered and hotter components should take this into consideration to optimize whole-system coolant.

My very first Corsair AIO - H80i V2. No RGB. Spinning Rust. Optical Drives. eSATA. 1 512GB NVMe drive (and only PCIe 3!!). Not a piece of tempered glass to be found. 4:3 monitor (granted, it was a 'spare' for testing, but still). And let's not talk about the cable (mis)management.
So, so much has changed since then ...
