System Resources Control

System Resources Control is a console-based application written in C#. It provides detailed information and monitoring capabilities for system resources, including CPU, GPU, RAM, storage devices, and temperatures, along with a CPU benchmarking tool.

Features

CPU Information

• Detailed Processor Info: Displays detailed information about the CPU, including the name, manufacturer, number of cores, clock speed, cache size, and more.
• Monitor CPU Core Usage: Real-time monitoring of individual CPU core usage.
• CPU Benchmark: Simulates a heavy workload on all CPU cores to calculate a performance score.

GPU Information

• Fetches details about the installed GPU, including name, adapter RAM, driver version, and video processor.

RAM Information

• Overall RAM Details: Displays the total installed RAM in the system.
• Per-Module Details: Lists detailed information for each RAM module, including capacity, manufacturer, speed, and part number.

Disk Information

• Retrieves details about installed storage devices, including capacity, model, and available space.

Temperature Information

• System-Wide Temperatures: Displays the temperature readings for various components, including CPU and GPU, if available.

System Overview

• Summary Output: Provides a concise overview of the system, including CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and temperature data.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/illusiOxd/CSharpSystemResourcesControl.git

2. Open the project in Visual Studio or your preferred IDE.
3. Build the project to restore dependencies and compile the application.
4. Run the application.

Usage

1. Launch the application.
2. Use the menu to navigate through the options:
   • 1: CPU Information
   • 2: GPU Information
   • 3: RAM Information
   • 4: Disk Information
   • 5: Temperature Information
   • 6: System Overview
   • 7: Exit the program

CPU Information Menu

• Select 1 for detailed CPU information.
• Select 2 to monitor CPU core usage in real-time. Press q to stop monitoring.
• Select 3 to run the CPU benchmark. The results will display the total score and completion time.
• Select 4 to return to the main menu.

GPU Information Menu

• Displays detailed information about the installed GPU.

RAM Information Menu

• Shows total installed RAM in the system.
• Lists detailed information for each memory module, with numbered entries for easier identification.

Disk Information Menu

• Displays details about storage devices, including model, total capacity, and free space available.

Temperature Information Menu

• Displays temperature readings for various system components. If access is denied, ensure the application is running with administrator privileges.

System Overview Menu

• Provides a summary of all key system details in a concise format.

Requirements

• .NET Framework or .NET Core (compatible version for C# projects)
• Windows OS (uses WMI for hardware queries)
• Administrator privileges for temperature monitoring

How the CPU Benchmark Works

The benchmark uses all available CPU cores to perform a heavy mathematical workload. Each core's performance is measured and combined into a total score. The workload involves:

• Calculating square roots and trigonometric functions
• Running multiple iterations to stress the CPU

Formula for Score Calculation

• Base score is inversely proportional to the thread's workload.
• Time bonus is added for faster completion.
• Final score = Base score + Time bonus.
