How to get motherboard sensor readings in C#

Question

I'm trying to get any temp/fanspeed/accelerometer readings from my motherboard in C# I have done a lot of research and I know its not easy, but it has to be possible to get something I can work with.

I have tried using motherboardmonitor.net but I can't figure out how to incorporate the dll into my program.

I have tried "using motherboardmonitor" with the motherboardmonitor.DLL i downloaded. But there is absolutely no documentation on how to use it. Im just fumbling around with it at the moment to no avail.

And I have tried using the sensor.dll but I dont think i have enough knowledge to go any further.
