Accessing MSI Afterburner remote server manually
Raw
README.md

Where $ip and $port are your MSI Afterburner Remote Server's IP address and port:

  • Go to $ip:$port/mahm, you will be presented with a HTTP Basic Auth dialog.
  • Enter MSIAfterburner as the username.
  • Enter your security key as the password.

Profit! You'll get an XML file that looks something like the attached xml-example.xml.

Does this still work? I am willing to make an app better the current one available...

It does still work! I'm using this to make a nice multi-gpu monitoring dashboard. Thanks for the heads up, @joar!

Here's how to do this in PowerShell.

  • Install MSIAfterBurner and Remote Server
  • Right click the tray icon, then choose 'Security' and copy the Security Key from there

Use the following PowerShell to hit the endpoint, log in, and then display temperatures

$user = 'MSIAfterburner'
$key = '17cc95b4017d496f82'

#Build a credential object for basic auth
$tempPW = ConvertTo-SecureString $key -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $tempPW)

$RemoteMSIRequest = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'http://192.168.0.27:82/mahm' -Credential $credential 

$RemoteMSIRequest.HardwareMonitor.HardwareMonitorEntries.HardwareMonitorEntry | Where srcUnits -eq 'C'

This returns the following output:

srcName           : GPU1 temperature
srcUnits          : C
localizedSrcName  : GPU1 temperature
localizedSrcUnits : C
recommendedFormat : %.0f
data              : 72
minLimit          : 0
maxLimit          : 100
flags             : None
gpu               : 0
srcId             : 0

srcName           : GPU2 temperature
srcUnits          : C
localizedSrcName  : GPU2 temperature
localizedSrcUnits : C
recommendedFormat : %.0f
data              : 60
minLimit          : 0
maxLimit          : 100
flags             : None
gpu               : 1
srcId             : 0

Do you have some documentation on the service endpoints? What request should I make to let's say increase the memory clock by 10MHz?

saikon commented Oct 28, 2018

Has the URL changed since 2015 when this was created? I cannot access anything with that /mham.

Just using the : results in:

<error>
<message>Unknown Command</message>
</error>

And using the :/mahm results in:

<error>
<message>Access is denied</message>
</error>

Any ideas what query gives useful data? I also tried switching Monitor and Real time data on and off. That did not change anything.

To answer my own question:

The dll has been updated. Old one caused the access denied error when there was too much data to be read.
