demo
Note: You may need to install plugins and read the api docs. (I forgot how)
Note:
The disk read write speed is measured in different methods, so it wont be same as the TaskManager.
The disk read write speed is measured using the same method as PerformanceMonitor (perfmon.exe) (as the docs claim).

; CPU measure - Rainmeter Documentation
; https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/cpu/
; |>"
; First, Rainmeter's CPU measure and the UsageMonitor plugin with the CPU alias,
; both pull the CPU usage from a source that uses a timed-based performance counter.
; If you look are PerfMon,
; this is the Processor > % Processor Time counter.
; HWiNFO and Windows 7's task manager also used this as well.\
; \
; In Windows 8, Microsoft changed the way they measure "usage", because time-based monitoring doesn't mean as much when CPU's are automatically overclocking and underclocking.
; For example, if a CPU is running overclocked at 100%, it is doing WAY more work than if it was running 100% at the base clock speed.
; The time-based counters both report 100% in each mode, so Microsoft made a change.\
; \
; In Windows 8 and later, a new performance counter was added,
; Processor Information > % Processor Utility.
; This counter better works with dynamically clocked cores to report the amount of work being done.
; Task Manager uses this new performance counter for "usage".
; In this case overclocked cores report 100+% performance, while underclocked cores will never get to 100% even if they are fully occupied.
