All subsystem graphs share a synchronized 60-second historical canvas rendered with crisp vector line curves and gradient fills:

• 🟢 CPU Monitor: Total CPU utilization %, dynamic clock speed (GHz), per-core thread heatmap matrix (16/32 threads), and live Top-5 Process resource consumers.
• 🔵 RAM Monitor: Instant Win32 GlobalMemoryStatusEx polling with Used / Total physical memory (e.g. 14.2 / 64.0 GB) with 0% CPU overhead.
• 🟣 GPU Monitor: High-precision GPU core load %, chip temperature (°C) with dashed line, live Power Limit & Fan RPM telemetry, and real-time Power Consumption in Watts (⚡ 136W) via official signed NVIDIA NVML.
• 🌸 VRAM Monitor: Dedicated video memory load % and live usage (e.g. 2.3 / 12.0 GB).
• 🩵 DISK Monitor (Enhanced Multi-Disk Mode & Top I/O Processes v4.03):
  • Individual Color Curves: Independent color graphing for each physical drive (NVMe, SSD, HDD) with separate interactive enable/disable checkboxes.
  • Hardware Partition Mapping: Displays drive model and manufacturer with all mounted logical partitions (e.g. Samsung SSD 980 [C:, D:]).
  • Interactive I/O Process Drill-Down: Click on any drive row to instantly expand the Top-3 I/O processes actively reading/writing data (live process name, PID, and disk read/write throughput in MB/s or KB/s).
  • System Monitor Shortcut: Built-in direct launch link to Windows Resource Monitor (Resmon →) for deep kernel I/O tracing.
• ❄️ FAN Monitor [Addon]: Live Fan Speed telemetry in RPM with isolated background service. Features 3 visualization modes: 📈 60s History Graph with auto-scaling RPM curves, 🌀 1 Row compact spinning dynamic fan icons, and ▦ Grid multi-row cooler dashboard.

Instantly switch between whisper-quiet computing and full multi-core performance:

• Quiet Mode (99%): Disables Core Performance Boost (CPB), locking clocks to base frequency (~3.4 GHz), slashing voltages and thermals, immediately silencing CPU fans.
• Normal / Boost Mode (100%): Restores full multi-core boost up to 4.9+ GHz for intensive 3D rendering, video encoding, and high-FPS gaming.
• Global Hotkey (Ctrl + Alt + Q): Toggle modes from any full-screen app or game without opening the UI.
• Auto-Quiet on Idle: Automatically engages Quiet Mode when no keyboard/mouse activity is detected for > 5 minutes.

Software GPU power management built right into the HUD:

• Watt Power Limiter: Configurable power ceiling in Watts for Silent mode, preventing GPU cooler ramp-ups under heavy 3D loads while preserving stability.
• Target Acoustic Fan Speed: Set maximum fan RPM limit for ultra-quiet operation.
• Separate CPU & GPU Silent Controls: Independent control buttons for CPU and GPU quiet/boost modes.
• 83°C Thermal Fail-Safe Guard: Automatic safety override that restores stock power if temperatures reach 83°C.

Professional workload benchmarking and pure execution time tracking:

• Unlimited Independent Timers (+): Add concurrent stopwatch counters with custom labels, custom palette colors, and individual application bindings (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Blender, etc.).
• Smart App Process Aggregation: Automatically aggregates and sums CPU % and RAM across all child and background helper processes belonging to the target application.
• Targeted Workload Auto-Start (⚡): Automatically triggers and logs execution time only when the bound app is actively performing heavy computations (target CPU ≥ 0.5% or power exceeds threshold).
• In-GUI Per-Counter Scaling (⊞ Auto, ⊞ x2 ... ⊞ x16): Dedicated scale toggles located directly inside each stopwatch row in the HUD to magnify low-usage processes (such as Illustrator at 3.5%) without altering the main CPU timeline scale.
• Color-Coded Process Curve Overlay: Real-time process curves drawn over the 60-second CPU timeline with live percentage badges (● 46.0%).
• High-Concurrency Engine: Zero-freeze thread safety with re-entrancy guards and lock-free collections.

Deep hardware sensor access engineered without compromising HUD stability:

• Out-of-Process Isolation: The fan monitoring engine (RyzenQuiet.FanService.exe) runs as an isolated background companion communicating via local Named Pipes with zero interference with main GUI threads.
• Ring-0 Hardware Access: Powered by the modern open-source Pawn.IO kernel driver and LibreHardwareMonitor backend for motherboard Super I/O, Embedded Controller (EC), and GPU tachometer readouts.
• Cooler Selection Dialog (⚙ Fans): Interactive checklist to select which fans appear on the HUD. Idle 0 RPM fans can remain selected — they seamlessly activate and report speeds when spinning up under load.
• GPU Fan Spin-Up Test (⚡): Built-in 10-second pulse diagnostic to verify GPU fan tachometers, responsiveness, and acoustic profiles.
• One-Click Start/Stop: Seamlessly launch or terminate the background service directly from the Settings panel with clean status dots (● Active).

Flexibility for single or multi-monitor setups:

• Docked Mode: Anchored next to the Windows system tray; smoothly slides out when clicking the tray icon and auto-hides when clicking away.
• Detached Widget (⤢): Undock into an independent desktop widget with free mouse dragging, Always-On-Top (📌), adjustable opacity (40% to 100%), and persistent position memory across reboots.

Renders a live percentage badge directly onto the system tray icon (choose between CPU %, GPU %, or RAM %). Hovering provides a comprehensive multi-line status tooltip.

Click the centered vector gear icon (⚙) to configure modules, GPU acoustic tuning, and visibility. Features full-height layout without scrollbars, native Windows drop shadow, and background dashboard dimming. All preferences saved locally in %LOCALAPPDATA%\RyzenQuietPro\settings.json.
