Is there documentation anywhere that describes how a program like HWMonitor actually gets all of the temperature information? I want to make my own program as a hobby project to learn but the only thing I have found is using WMIC and it keeps saying not supported on my system.

These programs get their info via WMI as far as I know.

As a first hobby program, I would just use the API OpenHardwareMonitor provides:
