Zitat von Razor:

Yea i almost did it and its NOT FROM THE SMBUS,its reading directly off cpu via READMSR.

Nobody said to read something from the SMBus. Please ask, if you do not understand what is written here. They use the WMI interface to gather the named information and WMI gets this information from the SMBIOS (and not SMBus!).

And the SMBIOS get's it from the CPU or the chipset/voltage controller directly. But this is another aspect. They offered just an alternative to gather that informationen (even without using such a ring-0 driver) using WMI.
