Introducing BENCHLAB Dashboard v2
We're excited to announce the release of BENCHLAB Dashboard v2, a ground-up rewrite of the desktop app for your BENCHLAB and BENCHLAB 2.
What's new
A real-time dashboard you control. Pin any sensor to your dashboard as a value, chart, or gauge tile, right from the sensor table. Mix and match across Power, Voltage, Temperature, and Fan readings to build the view that matters to you.
Full per-pin 12VHPWR monitoring (BENCHLAB 2). A dedicated page breaks down every pin of your 12-pin power connector — per-wire voltage, current, power, imbalance, and connector temperature — so you can catch a failing pin before it catches you.
Fan curves and RGB, with live preview. Edit fan profiles per header, preview changes before you commit them, and apply the same curve across multiple fans at once. RGB profiles get a full color picker with speed and direction control, with "Work"/"Play" profile labels matching your board's silkscreen.
Remote front-panel control. Trigger Power, Reset, Other, and (on BENCHLAB 2) 5VSB from the app, behind a safety arm switch so nothing fires by accident.
Custom alerts. Set threshold-based notification rules per sensor, with severity levels and toast alerts while the app is running. These are app-side conveniences layered on top of your board's own protections, not a replacement for them.
Data export. Log any session to CSV or stream live readings into HWiNFO for use with your other monitoring tools.
Lives in your tray. BENCHLAB Dashboard runs quietly in the system tray, starts with Windows, and keeps monitoring even when the window is closed as long as the BENCHLAB Service is running.
Under the hood
BENCHLAB Dashboard v2 is a complete rewrite of our desktop application. It's a modern Rust/Tauri-based desktop shell over a thin web UI, talking to the BENCHLAB Service instead of opening the serial port directly. That split means faster updates, a more responsive interface, and a foundation for whatever comes next.
BENCHLAB Dashboard v2 works with both the original BENCHLAB and BENCHLAB 2. Power, voltage, temperature, fan, and RGB monitoring is supported on both boards, with 12VHPWR per-wire monitoring and 5VSB control only available for BENCHLAB 2.
