* New
CUIT X4  v1.07 (File Size: 28 KB  Date: October 29th, 2009)
* Displays each core CPU usage in a tray icon as a number or a graph.
* Displays CPU usage and average usage per core in interface.
* Supports up to four CPU cores.
(shown below -
2 core CPU, one core as graph and one as a number)


CUIT X3  v1.0 (File Size: 10 KB  Date: March 13th, 2009)
* Requires one Tri-Core CPU  (i.e. AMD X3).
* Displays the CPU usage in a single tray icon as three bar graphs, one bar for each core.


CUIT  v1.0.1 (File Size: 10 KB  Date: March 8th, 2009)
* Requires Dual, Quad or more CPUs.
[Odd number of CPUs (1, 3, 5, etc) is not supported!]
* Displays the CPU usage in tray as two bar graphs.
Note::
On a Quad Core (or more) an average is taken.
For example if you have 8 cores the left side of the tray icon would display the average CPU usage from cores 0,1,2 and 3, the right side would average cores 4,5,6 and 7.


 Multi-Core Version 1.01  (File Size: 10 KB Date: July 17th, 2008)
* Displays the total CPU usage in tray as a single bar graph.
* One CPU socket only? - See User Feedback (Multi-Core Version 1.01) below.

* These two display the total CPU usage from all cores as a number.
 As Small Number v1.0  (File Size: 10 KB Date: April 8th, 2009)
 As Larger Number v1.0  (File Size: 11 KB Date: April 8th, 2009)


These older versions also show the average CPU usage.

v1.48  (File Size: 15 KB Date: December 15th, 2007)
* Requires/Supports one Dual Core CPU only!
* Displays the CPU usage in tray as two bar graphs.

v1.45  (File Size:13 KB Date: October 29th, 2007)
* Supports Single and Dual Core CPUs only!
* Displays the CPU usage in tray as one or two bar graphs.


User Feedback...

CUIT X4 v1.07, this program lists the cpu graphs/numbers in the order 3-0-1-2 in Windows 7 notification area. Going to "Customize Notification icons" from the taskbar, shows only CPU3 when program is closed. If this was CPU0, perhaps the order would be correct? You can rearrange the order of the icons using drag and drop but it is not remembered at the next program startup.

Really useful program by the way - just a little niggle maybe not that important.
Thanks,
Nigel

Well the programs are actually made for WinXP, sorry but currently have no plans to update the apps at this time.

Thanks for the feedback!


The Multi-Core Version 1.01 does not work with my two single core CPUs, but the older v1.48 version works.

DET

I'm guessing the code used in Multi-Core Version 1.01 only supports one CPU socket then. ?

Update: I've recently added other versions using similar code as used in the older v1.45/v1.48 called CUIT.

Thanks for the feedback!


I love CPU Usage in Tray. 
It works great in Vista x64  ..  exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks bud..

Great!!!!
Working in Vista, have to "Run as Administrator".

Could you make one so 4 cores each have a graph in the tray?
Bobby

I've tried and it's really hard to see four clearly, theres just not enough room in one tray icon to make it look decent IMO. The only other way would be to have multiple tray icons.


How do these apps work with Intel HyperThreading enabled, are they counted as cores?
Rick

The HT (fake) cores should be counted as a real core, but as far as how its usage will be detected and accounted for I'm not sure,  we only use AMD so have no way to test that, sorry!
