When hiding your taskbar, if you scroll further down, there is an option for multiple displays to show taskbar on all displays. Toggle that off if you still want your taskbar visible on your main monitor but not your other monitors.

In defense of the thicker cables, they'll generally last longer since the thin cables are more subject to sharp angles which tend to destroy the cables.

You went the extra mile and went through everything so now we can be cool too. Thanks again.

[@triparadox.c]

6:00 If you want to hide the taskbar for secondary monitor but keep the primary monitor taskbar, then right click on the taskbar and go to taskbar settings. Scroll down, and you'll see Multiple Displays option. Do not toggle on Show taskbar on all displays, and it will only show on your primary.

I'm wondering, how do people prevent their mouse from accidentally going into the sensor panel? Isnt that annoying as heck? Like, I know it's really annoying when your mouse moves off to somewhere you can't view easily. Also, how is it not an issue for people to sacrifice a whole slot on their gpu? I only have 3 slots for my 3 screens, do people just use hdmi splitters or something? I always assumed sensor panels were all self-contained.

[@Serpensin]

I used one of my old phones with a software that lets me use it as a screen. With internal usb ports it's pretty easy to setup.

[@niggblehlm5818]

So how do you solve the issue where it turns on and off independently instead of with your PC? So if you're away from your pc for days the battery for the phone will run out and then you'd have to open the glass panel to turn it on again once it's fully charged, AFTER you turn on your PC. Not worth it for the hassle.

That's why I always recommend Rainmeter instead of Aida64. It's open source, has a huge community, can pull info from both hardware and APIs, has a bunch of other plugin and app integration support like currently playing media, HWInfo, CoreTemp, supports mouse actions and Lua scripting. I highly recommend it as an alternative.

[@lostinthesky1381]

Thanks for this idea! Since I already use an ESP32 to make my rgb effects custom I was thinking about adding an LCD to the ESP but I didn't think of this easy way to do it - just use an additional monitor! Makes getting all information easier and I don#t need to transfer the data via serial or get it via sensors.

You should use asus master suite for your rgb. Also has aura sync live wallpapers. So the wallpapers change colours in sync with the rest of your rig.

Great Video! Random thought, could you use the same tape from the border to cover the small portion of the cables from the display? I think that would be awesome to hide the little bit of black from the PC!

[@richuz9711]

That monitor look insane in build, not gonna lie

[@jayblueeyez76]

just a few things.. you can also use any tablet.. I used a Samsung Galaxy tab I had laying around, and a program named spacedesk (free) to create a wireless display.. second you can edit the background picture of any sensor panel in paint to match your resloution, and then replace the original (just make sure that you make the sensor panel size the same resolution in aida 64 . Also the free version of aida64 is not bad , but a lot of the sensors will say Trial and you can not get rid of that label .. unless you get the full version (GPU utilization for example) .

[@TechSource]

Good point

[@Gene.-]

How are you charging the tablet when it's inside? Just put a USB cable out into the pc as with a normal display? I might have some old tablet laying around which have no use right now

[@jayblueeyez76]

@@Gene.- yes.. I ran the usb cord through the motherboard tray , and back up through the basement , and then out one of the back io spaces to charge it.. quite easy to hide because my gpu is vertically mounted

[@Gene.-]

@@jayblueeyez76 I see, my gpu is not vertical but I guess since my case is black I can hide the cable pretty easily

[@jayblueeyez76]

@@Gene.- even if you don’t put the tablet in your case the spacedesk program turns the tablet into a wireless display .. so you can put it anywhere … does not need to be used with aida64.. it is a full fledged wireless display

[@Tay.1904]

Damn Edgar went savage on that default sensor panel

[@tommybaker4330]

Only drawback is you might need a video card for 2nd HDMI port if you only have 1 on I/O panel. Wanted something to cover up holes and ridges in between MB and front of case. Was going to use some thin sheet metal to cover them. This looks like it fits the bill better. Can still use sheet metal to frame this and create a nice flat plane from the MB to front of case. I like RGB, but kinda thought there might be something more useful to stick inside a windowed case like a TV screen. No window case? Attach it on top of your case like a billboard.

[@GamingDieHeaven]

Or, if the I/O panel on your GPU supports it, you can change the cable to your main display into (DisplayPort - DIsplayPort) or (DIsplayPort - HDMI). Then the single HDMI slot from your GPU will be freed up for your sensor panel display. Alternatively you can run a (DisplayPort - HDMI) cable from your GPU to the sensor panel and keep the cable to you main display as it currently is.

[@o0LilRo0o]

@TechSource I've noticed, that you have a air bubble in your water cooling sitting right in your cpu cooler. Your CPU is set a high risk of overheat, as your watercooling will not work properly in this area. You should get rid of the air inside your CPU cooler. Nice video btw. I was thinking about this for longer time. With your video I now know how to do so. Thank's alot. 👍

[@Funkymonkie]

i dont even have a pc but i still like watching your videos anyway

[@jdmaltezza]

Keep in mind if you want to monitor your gpu temp and usage aida64 will make your system crash randomly when the drivers and aida64 try to access these probes at the same time. This has been a known bug in aida for 5 plus years now. So if you start getting random crashes try turning off aida

[@taden2007]

This is a year old but I believe it only affects AMD gpu’s doesn’t it?

[@jdmaltezza]

@@taden2007 yes as far as I can tell it only effect AMD GPUs. It's just sad that Aida will not post on their site that their software is not compatible with AMD GPUs and they have no plan to fix it. But they are happy to take your money.

[@RealistikOG]

So you’re saying I baisically cant use this screen with my AMD gpu?

[@jdmaltezza]

@@RealistikOG Sadly yes. I have tried to work with the Aida64 devs to try and resolve this but all they want to do is blame AMD and pretend its not an issue. And they wont provide any refunds for people buying their software without knowing this issue. So from what research i have done it appears what happens is aida tries to poll certain sensors on the GPU at the same time as the AMD software and/or windows tries to access it which causes the driver to panic and crash.

[@RealistikOG]

thanks for the reply! but what if i only plan to use my raspberry pi monitor for showcasing desktop background or gifs etc/ not monitoring any temps or stats, will this still be an issue with my amd gpu@@jdmaltezza

[@outlet6989]

Informative and well-produced video. No music is a plus! Where to mount the panel? I used a 4th mounting location. My sensor panel fits into two 5 1/4-inch drive bays as it has a metal mounting bracket. Remember when cases had drive bays? I purchased a full tower case with three front-mounted drive bays. I selected a PHANTEKS ENTHOO PRO PH-ES6-14PTG_BK02. The sensor panel needed two drive bays, and I installed my ASUS BLU-RAY Writer in the third bay. Both devices are easy to see/use at the top of the case. There is still room for my 360 AIO radiator and fans. I've only installed the panel. Can I connect the HDMI cable to the MB rear I/O HDMI port or only to my GPU? You mounted yours at the exhaust fan location. Doesn't that location eliminate your rear exhaust fan?

Really cool, just a few questions. Do you have to start this up every time manually or is there a way to have it open on the second screen every time windows starts? Is there a way to prevent the mouse from entering the second screen, I can imagine it would be easy to lose it there.

[@iwizsp]

There is a way to get AIDA64 to launch when you start up windows. The mouse will enter the second screen but its not as bad as you think, youre always looking at your mouse so it's hard to lose track of it in the first place.
