• If SensorPanel does not show up on the WigiDash device, exit and restart the AIDA64 soware.
• For the AIDA64 SensorPanel to work with WigiDash, the AIDA64 soware needs to be launched aer the WigiDash Manager soware has been opened.
During system startup, AIDA64 soware may launch before WigiDash Manager, so exing and restarng the AIDA64 soware may be required. For advanced
users, use Windows Task Scheduler to delay the auto-startup of AIDA64.
• SensorPanel themes may be downloaded from the AIDA64 forum (1024x600 is the preferred fullscreen resoluon for WigiDash):
hps://forums.aida64.com/topic/667-share-your-sensorpanel/
• Download G.SKILL SensorPanel theme for WigiDash: hps://www.gskill.com/wigidash/download
• The FPS counter in the G.SKILL SensorPanel theme for WigiDash requires RivaTuner Stascs Server (RTSS) to work.
• While AIDA64 v6.50.5800 or later includes WigiDash support, AIDA64 v7.00.6700 or later is recommended. AIDA64 Trial version may not have all sensor info
available in SensorPanel.

• Q: Can I use mulple WigiDash devices simultaneously on the same PC?
A: Yes, you can use more than one WigiDash devices at the same me on the same PC system. In the WigiDash Manager soware, you can name each Wigi-
Dash device and select the WigiDash device you want to customize in the soware under “WigiDash Sengs” > “Device” tab.
• Q: What are the recommended USB ports for connecng the WigiDash device?
A: We highly recommend connecng the WigiDash device directly to a USB 3.0 port of the motherboard rear I/O panel.
• Q: Why does WigiDash turns o or disconnects randomly, and requires replugging the USB cable to reconnect to the PC?
A: Make sure to connect the WigiDash device to a USB 3.0 port in the motherboard rear IO panel. If the WigiDash device is connected to a USB 2.0 port,
through an external USB hub, and/or through the front panel USB port, then there may be insucient power provided to the device.
• Q: Is it possible to use a USB extension cable with WigiDash?
A: It’s possible to use a USB extension cable, however, we would strongly advise against using one. Increasing the USB cable length would aect the power
sent to the WigiDash device, which may cause connecon issues.
• Q: Where can I nd which version I’m currently using?
A: You can nd the WigiDash Manager soware version in the Title Bar of the soware. To nd the version of the widget, go to “Market” and the version
number can be found under the respecve widget.
• Q: What operang systems are WigiDash compable with?
A: WigiDash Manager requires Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11 (64-bit), or newer. MacOS and Linux-based OS support is currently unavailable.
• Q: What languages are supported in the WigiDash Manager soware?
A: Currently, WigiDash Manager soware supports English. We are working to include addional languages in future versions.
• Q: Where can I download addional widgets for WigiDash?
A: Addional widgets for WigiDash can be downloaded through the “Market” secon within the WigiDash Manager soware.
• Q: If I want to create my own widget, where can I download the SDK?
A: SDK resources for creang custom widgets can be found at: hps://github.com/orgs/ElmorLabs-WigiDash/repositories
• Q: Why isn’t my widget working aer updang the WigiDash Manager soware?
A: Please check for new versions of the widget under “Market” in the WigiDash Manager soware.
