This is the best monitoring skin for rainmeter, but it uses a lot of CPU. Without this enabled rainmeter uses 1% - 2%, with this enabled it gets up to 10% CPU usage (from rainmeter alone). My CPU is pretty powerful as well, i7 - 7700k (not overclocked). Is there any way to reduce CPU usage? I have tried increasing the update rates, but that didn't affect the CPU usage.
I really want to use this skin as it's the best (and most customizable) I have found, but I really can't have >5% CPU usage constantly, especially when doing something intensive (such as gaming).

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. It's a bit ironic that a resource monitor is itself a resoure hog, and I appreciate that you don't want it stealing cpu time from your games, I would say that Windows 10 is very good at allocating resources to full screen programs like games and so it shouldn't make a difference. If you want to do benchmark comparisons with the skin running and not running I'd be interested in the results.
There is an issue in 2.6 with incorrect ram usage which was fixed in 2.7 which you can find here: System Scroll 2.7
Hope this helps,
Harry.

Love this! Only issue is that it doesnt seem to be tracking CPU and Ram usage for me. : /
