How can I help improve it?

The LibreHardwareMonitor team welcomes feedback and contributions!
You can check if it works properly on your motherboard. For many manufacturers, the way of reading data differs a bit, so if you notice any inaccuracies, please send us a pull request. If you have any suggestions or improvements, don't hesitate to create an issue.

What's the easiest way to start?

LibreHardwareMonitor application: - How to compile the application

1. Download the repository and compile 'LibreHardwareMonitor'.
2. You can start the net452\LibreHardwareMonitor.exe application immediately.

NuGet Package - How to use NuGet

1. Add the LibreHardwareMonitorLib package to your application.
2. References will be added automatically, you can use the sample code below.

Sample code: - How to add C# reference

1. Download the repository and compile 'LibreHardwareMonitorLib'.
2. Add references to 'LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll' and 'HidSharp.dll' in your project.
3. In your main file, add namespace using LibreHardwareMonitor.Hardware;
4. Now you can read most of the data from your devices.
