Description
Yay, my very first Rainmeter skin!
This bright and colorful RainCloud skin is a bright and cheery way to monitor your system. I decided since there was a lack of color in all of the rest of the standalone Rainmeter skins for Speedfan, I'd make one myself. ^_^
This skin also includes two smaller clouds just for decoration to sort of "tie in" to a bright theme
If you're a Metric System user, there are instructions in the .ini file that will tell you how to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius. ^^ It's pretty simple.
REQUIRED SOFTWARE:
Speedfan [link] 
Rainmeter [link] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I must thank and for some of the coding, as I used the .ini files in their Speedfan skin as a template to create my very own skin.
A
and also a 
would also be much appreciated!

Nice to see some colors, im trying to add some bright colors to my skins also but I fail quite hard on it and go back to what seem to be a bit of a standard black/grey & white colors.
And a small tip if speedfan is reading your temperaures correct (most amd cpus don't) but your cpu safe temps is 61 Celsius, your cpu is running at 57 Celsius if googles Fahrenheit to Celsius is correct. Just a heads up that you might want to buy a better cpu cooler if you don't want to shorten the life of your cpu

Yeah, I know. :< I just got CPUID that was in that person's post, and my Package Temperature was between 46 and 50 C, the max it can be is 53. I've got better thermal grease that I need to apply that will help a little bit, I suppose.
I posted a screenshot of my desktop to Facebook and one of my friends was like "HOLY SH** at that CPU temperature! You need a better cooler." What I want to do is build a desk like this one that has liquid cooling. Once I'm employed again, that will be my next project.

That will cost a fortune ^^, there are cheaper options planning on doing that myself when I get some extra Money, but it will be similar, I would got with a closed water cooler cheaper and don't need any maintenance

I don't plan on doing it THAT extravagantly. XD Although I will have it all lit up. Purple and Ultaviolet LEDs, ftw! One of my uncles is a wood-worker, and he probably wouldn't charge much to build it for me. I'll just paint it all with black rubberized paint and get some pretty sweet decals made at my local Flea Market. >
Oh, yeah. I did eventually get around to applying the Arctic Silver 5 today and so far I've noticed a difference. It'll take two days for it to completely settle, but as soon as I powered it back up, I noticed a difference. It's now running between 45-58 C. A little better than what it was doing before. :boogie!: I can't wait to see the difference in two days though.

Cool, wished I knew someone that work with wood as I also plan on building mine in massive oak, and instead of plexi-glass I would get real glass and not covering the whole table, keeping on the left or the right side with a 40-50 cm square or something like that, yeah arctic silver is pretty sweet using it also those 200 hours burn in time is a pain thou, and if I were you I would go into the bios and set every voltage to manual instead of auto if you haven't as auto like to keep things way higher then needed

Oh, wow. I haven't ever thought of setting the voltages manually. I'm not exactly sure how to do that, and I'm a little paranoid that I might mess some stuff of while doing it. D:

You go into the bios, and just set it all to their lowest state, most motherboard display minimum/default volt on the right or left side. And if your vcore is to low what your going to see is blue screens or random reboots, go in and raise it intill they stop and then there is various stability programs, just google for some overclocking guide but instead of actually overclocking it just go for your default speed etc

Oooh, I didn't know I could do that. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the tip.

Np and good luck, a cpu actually feel bad if it gets more voltage then it require so more people should set their voltage manually

I did what you said to do. The only thing is that I have UEFI instead of a normal bios. The only choice was to set the voltages to "Normal" instead of "Auto," and of course to set the voltages completely manually. I'm not sure what to set mine to, though.

The core voltage of every cpu is different, for an example your cpu can can do default Clock speed at 1.15volt while your friend with the exact same eqp need to have 1.20volt. So its pretty much to just lower it intill you start getting blue screens and then increase it, when I test my cpu I use a program called IBT(intel burn test) but it might not be the best to use on an AMD as that program causes the most heat of all the stress programs out there, there is Another one called Prime95. You can google your cpu and look what other people need for settings and go from there, and about the voltage even thou your using a UEFI bios you should still have a choice of setting it to offset which is to be prefered as that activates the computer to use lower voltage and speed when in idle

Yeah, I'll probably work on that when I wake up in the morning as it's almost 4 AM right now.

Pretty much yeah, I dont know what kind of RAM your using but most of them are for 1.5volt there are a few that are rated for 1.65 and if that is the case you need to raise your VTT/IMC so that its not bellow 0.5volt of your ram voltage it used to be a bit of a golden rule Before but if its relevant now or not no idea as your VTT/IMC is usually higher then your ram voltage. And your VTT/IMC is based on the size of your ram, 8 gig of ram require less then 16 gig for instance so if you get blue screens it can be that your VTT/IMC is a bit low also, so google a few guides for AMD and your cpu. I got a older intel cpu myself but the way the voltages work should be pretty much the same.
