CPU Temperature Prediction - Data Collection

Collects system metrics to train ML model for CPU temperature prediction.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Windows 10/11 OR macOS
• Python 3.7+
• Temperature monitoring tool (platform-specific, see below)

Platform-Specific Setup

Windows Users

1. Install OpenHardwareMonitor:

   • Download from https://openhardwaremonitor.org/
   • Extract and run OpenHardwareMonitor.exe as Administrator
   • Keep it running in background

2. Use: script_windows.py

macOS Users

1. Install temperature monitoring tool (choose one):

   Option 1: osx-cpu-temp (Recommended)

   brew install osx-cpu-temp

   Option 2: iStats

   sudo gem install iStats

2. Use: script_mac.py

Setup on Each System

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/RudrakshChugh/Predict-CPU-Temperature

2. Install OpenHardwareMonitor:

   • Download and extract
   • Run OpenHardwareMonitor.exe as Administrator
   • Keep it running in background

3. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Choose the correct script for your platform:

   • Windows: Edit script_windows.py
   • macOS: Edit script_mac.py

   Change these two lines:

   SYSTEM_ID = "S1"              # Change to S2, S3, S4, S5 for other systems
   OUTPUT_FILE = "system_S1.csv" # Change to system_S2.csv, etc.

5. Run data collection (30 minutes):

   # Windows:
   python script_windows.py
   
   # macOS:
   python script_mac.py

6. After all systems complete, combine data:

   python combine.py

Data Collected

• CPU utilization
• Memory usage
• Clock speed
• CPU temperature (real sensor data)
• Ambient temperature
• Voltage & current
• System ID

Safety

100% Read-only - No system modifications
Only monitors system metrics
Only writes to CSV files

Files

• script_windows.py - Data collection script for Windows
• script_mac.py - Data collection script for macOS
• combine.py - Combines CSV files from all systems
• requirements.txt - Python dependencies

Output

Each system generates: system_S1.csv, system_S2.csv, etc.
Combined output: combined_system_data.csv

Duration: 30 minutes per system
Platform: Windows & macOS supported
