Kindle Fire to monitor PC hardware...

For years I used the on-screen display built into MSI Afterburner to monitor my Hardware and FPS. I never really found the OSD too distracting and only a few times did it get in the way. A few weeks ago, I snagged an EVGA 1080 ti FTW3. Unfortunately due to the unique cooling system MSI Afterburner is unable to control the fans correctly and EVGA Precision X is needed. While Precision X is not my favorite, it works well enough for the little overclocking I do. The biggest downside is that the Precision X OSD is garbage. This lead me to explore other options. After trying a few other OSD, all less than ideal, I came across a thread on the AIDA64 forum about using an Android device to display sensor values via USB. It uses an Android app called Odospace. I have a Kindle Fire HD that gets very little use, so I figured I would give it a try. Although the setting up the display layout was quite cumbersome, I am really happy with the result.

looks nice but i don't see anyone that's a regular gamer have any use for this.

 

but it might be awesome for people who review hardware, hm.

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

I like to know what is going on with my hardware while I am gaming...especially GPU and CPU use and temps.  It is interesting seeing how different games use different resources.  I definitely like monitoring FPS.
