Arduino PC stats monitor.

Other Hardware Displays
1

Hello, i want to make a stats monitor with arduino and 3.5" LCD for my PC.
I want to use this LCD or this LCD. So, i want to use (if possible) 2 LCD's. 1 for monitoring PC temps and fan speeds, and the other for monitoring usage of CPU, GPU, RAM, Network and my 8 cores of the CPU.
So, i have few questions:

  1. Is there anyone who can help me with it ? (sorry if i ask any stupid question, i'm newbie to Arduino)
  2. Can i use cheap chinese Arduino Mega for this ?
  3. Is it realtime monitor ?
  4. Can i make it that it can boot with the PC ?

P.S. Also i want the Usage monitor to shows the speed of the GPU and the CPU.

Thanks everyone. :slight_smile:

You better post a thread to Project Guidance Project Guidance - Arduino Forum

1.Most of the people help you for a little part of the project, not all of it
2.Yes, the chip from the board is all that matter, ps: you won't need a Mega, a Nano is all you need
3.If you do it corectly
4.You can't boost your PC with a stats monitor, a stats monitor is only a monitor, actually, your pc will run slowly because it have to comunicate with the arduino and also with the sensors

The answer to your project is a custom software to the pc which will comunicate with the Nano via Serial port(usb) and tell him all the date for the LCD
