I have been using LCDSmartie to control my old desktop LCD screen for many many years. To show frequencies, temperatures and power I used either the Sensor Bridge plugin (SB.dll), that uses the OpenHardwareMonitor library under the hood or the LHM plugin (LHM.dll) that uses the LibreHardwareMonitor library. Both plugins rely on the WinRing0 driver, that is nowadays considered a vulnerability and should not be used. LibreHardwareMonitor has released a new version that uses the all new PawnIO driver to communicate with the hardware.

The problem is that I was unable to find a 32bit compiled version of it to use it with the LCDSmartie LHM plugin, so here you have it. I just compiled it for 32bit from the source with a couple of fixes to support .NET 4.8 properly and included the required dlls.

I’ve included two versions of the LHM.dll plugin, the untouched original (just compiled against the new LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll) and a new LHM-forcedGPU.dll that forces the GPU to be present since the start in order to generate a proper LHMReport.txt. The original untouched version does not detect my GPU.
