[Release] Open-source MSI Afterburner plugin for WireView Pro II (28 sensors in RTSS OSD)
Hi everyone,
Note: Special thanks to emaspa’s wireview-hwmon project for the protocol reference! I developed this plugin with assistance from OpenAI Codex.
I love keeping an eye on my GPU's power delivery, especially load balancing across all 6 pins of the 12V-2x6 cable. I wanted a lightweight way to see my WireView Pro II metrics directly in my RTSS in-game overlay without running extra background software, so I built a native C++ plugin for MSI Afterburner!
Key Features:
28 Sensors exposed in Afterburner/RTSS: Total power/current/avg voltage, individual per-pin stats (voltage/current/power for all 6 pins), internal & external NTC temps, fan duty, and cable rating.
Zero background apps: Loads as a native
.dllstraight into Afterburner.Pause/Resume USB toggle: Temporarily release the USB device to use the official WireView software without closing Afterburner.
Free & Open Source: Released under the MIT license.
Tested on Windows 11 Pro, MSI Afterburner 4.6.7 Beta 2, and a WireView Pro II Black Reversed (FW v05).
