Summary: Arduino can now monitor temperature of GPU using the RGB LED light indicator when hooked up to a temperature sensor and placed near the GPU.
A gentle man named ,Taylor Niver bought a graphics card for his computer, his GPU started overheating since his energy suppy wasn't efficient enough to power up his new graphics card properly. Mr.Niver did not want a potentially burnt out GPU so he came up with his own temperature monitoring system. His system basically included Arduino, temperature sensor, and RGB LED light. He hooked up the Arduino to the temperature sensor, which was placed near the GPU in order to monitor its temperature. The RGB LED light was used as an indicator to inform him the temperatures of his GPU. He set the threshold at 50C. If the temperature went above 50C, the RGB LED turned red, indicating an overheat but if everything was normal the RGB LED stayed blue.
If you want to set up your own Arduino Based CPU Temperature Sensor then check out Taylor Niver's blog to get the instructions and code that he used to set it up!
