It ALL works (mostly)!!! CPU Temp Monitor??

Just finished assembling my new system and loading it up this weekend, and amazingly, it works. Even with CL3 ram it runs much faster than a P4 1.8A on SiS 645/DDR333 board I had. I am amazed at how big a difference there is in the way XP Pro loads and retrieves data and how smooth it sets up. I did not have to load ANY drivers! A huge step forward from 98SE.
The only issue appears to be that the temperature monitor is out to lunch (So was my last board the SiS645 one, it did the exact same thing) for both CPU and Case. I installed a seperate case system to monitor temp and it gives me 22 deg C after I rearranged the airflow from the fans. I am thinking of drilling out the stock heatsink and inserting one of these temp monitors to real time monitor the CPU.
Has anyone come up with a good way to really monitor CPU temps with this board??

Hey,
I loaded up MBM (after I figured out what it was and where to find it). It seems pretty good: The case reads 37 deg C (my independent sensor reads 27 deg and bios says 47) and CPU reads 47 deg (bios says 57).
The real questions is : My -12 volts reads -6, and I have played with the settings to find the right sensor, and every sensor I select changes all the voltage readings. Is there a specific selection for readings that sets this up right?
Also, I found a Lian-Li temp sensor with thin tape probes that is designed to be set between CPU/Heatsink to provide real time accurate monitoring for chips (theres two, so I plan on doing CPU and NB), so I will have real data instead of hoping it is right. (19.00 US). Nice little 3.5" or 5.25" models avail in black, silver or beige.

Preferred cpu temp monitor softy?

what is the good cpu temp monitoring softy for 875pneo? i mean the accurate one. I've used aida and core center but yield different result. dont know which one to use... thnx!

I have been using motherboard monitor for years and is simply the best freeware monitor around. It even does OSD scripts with xml coding.

System Tray CPU Temp Monitor Program

Good afternoon all, as I'm getting more and more settled into my new system I'd like to keep a close eye on some temperatures as I increase clocks.
I've gone through the downloads board and looked at a few of the mentioned utilities - one notable one that I recognized was Speedfan. I've used this in the past, and I have also used CPUTEMP - which was quite good.
What I'm looking for is something I can easily monitor from my system tray. Ideally I'd also like to get another program to monitor my GPU temperatures and have that on the system tray too.
TL;DR
Are there any member favourite utilities out there that you'd recommend for monitoring your CPU temps (that possibly have the minimize to system tray feature)?
How about some of your favourite utilities that do the same thing buy for your MSI GPU? (I could post this in another board - but maybe I can kill two birds here)
Note: I'm looking for something lightweight that doesn't require a ton of configuration/setup.
Thanks again guys - always appreciate the kind/helpful responses.

The latest evolutions of command center work quite well and have a desktop app I believe like cpu temp. (Which is what I used when I was overclocking more)
HW monitor is another goto app I have used many times in the past.

Cpu temp monitor

hi
everybody keeps saying how bad core centre is..and not to use i tried and it buggered up my system had to reinstall....but can anyone recomend a good app for monitoring cpu tempreture that works on phenom cpus ans vista ....ive heard speedfan but also been told its not that good....!!!! any reccomendations...thanks kaka

Phenom is a brand new kind of processor, with a new architecture. Whatever monitoring version you use, it has to understand this architecture -> updated. Monitoring programs mostly doesn't have sensors of it's own, but steal information from BIOS. Thus BIOS info is in a way more true, and can be used for reference. But naturally you can't learn what temps you have in Windows with it.

Different readings between RivaTuner CPU Temp monitor and Bios Temp monitor

I just installed the RivaTuner temp plugin and it is reporting a core temp of 50C, CPU0 and CPU1 at 65C-66C. If I restart the PC and go to the BIOS the temp is being reported as 43C with a system temp of 42C. At most I would guess that 30 secs have elapsed since I viewed the temp in RivaTuner before checking the BIOS. Is this normal? Why the difference? Are my temps too high?

I will try to monitor the temperature with the chassis open tonight. I feel like there is a lot of blockage in there, but I don't know exactly how to tackle it. The PSU alone has a ton of wires in there and they are criss-crossing everywhere. I tried to zip tie them together as neatly as possible, but there is just a lot of crap in the middle of the case. I also have 3 HDD so that pretty much blocks the entire front fan. I could try using the top and bottom most mounting slots so that there is some air passage between 2 HDDs. The graphics card is also mounted in the top most PCIe slot. I could move that to the bottom one which should provide a better air channel. Other than that there isn't really much more that I can see doing. The case is a Tsunami Dream with the solid side. I could try modifying the side panel so that I can install another case fan. It currently has 2x 120mm fans, one rear and one front. I don't know what the CFMs are on them so I don't know if it is worth swapping them out for more powerful ones. Thanks for your help. I will run some more tests tonight. I did adjust the ratio in the bios so that I could run the RAM at 800mhz and I upped the RAM voltage to the 2.1v that Corsair recommended for it. Could those be affecting the temperature that much? Should I try restoring the RAM settings to factory defaults before trying again? Other than that I have done not other BIOS mods other than what was necessary for RAID.

CPU temperature monitoring utility - It works!!!

After long seeking and testing many HW monitoring programs it works! CPU temp monitoring on toshiba notebooks! Hmonitor v4.2.5.1 at http://hmonitor.com/
Good luck!

Hi sauliaus
Thanks for your information.
I have checked some postings and it seems that some user would like to install the temperature monitoring utility.
I'm sure this post will help many users.
Thanks again ;)

Temp monitor for ppc?

what cpu temp monitor can be used for ppc mac mini or ppc mac?
using http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html the widget one and i think that it is reporting the harddisk temp and not the cpu temp since it has the only option of "SMART Disk hardisk model here" and gave me a 45C-49C temp

I don't think there is a CPU temperature sensor on the PPC mini.

Hardware Monitor 3.7 & CPU temp

FYI,
The newest version on Hardware Monitor (version 3.7 from Marcel Bresnik) now supplies its own CPU temperature monitor extension and no longer relies on SpeedIt, it supports monitoring the CPU temp of both cores. No it doesn't support the throttling capability that SpeedIt was or is supposed to but it at least accesses the real CPU core temp.
As much as I thought SpeedIt would be cool, it just hasn't lived up to its potential and is a development mess. I've been using HM for awhile and love it, had to rely on SpeedIt for CPU temp for awhile, gotta love this new version.
Cheers,
Peter

Hey thanks for the heads up Peter. It works beautifully as you say..

A process by the name of avgcmgr is loading the CPUs by up to 100 percent. At least 5 of them have appeared on the activity monitor. I've removed them with forced quit but they return! How do I permanently get rid of them? CPUA temp is now 194F.

Hi Ray-
I'm having the exact same problem and have searched the web for hours looking for a solution (multiple spawned avgcmgr processes that consume cpu).
Did you find any solution?
Thanks so much!

Macbook pro had coffee spilled on it 2 weeks ago, all works fine except monitor display.

Macbook pro had coffee spilled on it two weeks ago; all working fine now except for the monitor, display is dim and photos not appearing properly. Any suggestions? Apple said would cost too much to repair, anyone had any luck with outside repair facilities? thanks.

I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

Is there any way to monitor CPU temp without Dual Core Center

I hate Dual Core Center it has done nothing but lock my system up is there any alteranative to monitor CPU temp/Fan speed

Quote from: Maesus on 21-March-07, 23:34:06
I use speedfan... but for Core 2 Duo, I don't think I have to worry about the CPU temp anymore... they are really coooooooooooooll
Does anybody have an idea what the optimal temperature range for core duo cpu:s are? I used to have an Athlon XP, which was typically 65 °, now the my E6600 is running at 35-40 ° [celsius]. But where's the critical temperature where it burns?

Crap thought that text was all the characters I was allotted, not just the title.
Anyway I wouldn't have even posted this if you guys would have allowed me to reply to the already existing thread I found through google. Said about 20 or so people had the same problem and no one found the contributor's answer useful, including myself.
Anyway, I use Firefox, because it is one of two (other being internet explorer) that Trend Micro's security package includes protection with. Same with spyware blaster which I also use but Trend Micro is the deal breaker. Also I like Firefox 4 and your ad blocker is better than google chrome's. However if I continue to have problems with clearing my browser history it is back to Opera and Google Chrome for me. IObit Security supports both of them, it also seems to be the best security system I have ever come across, I will just pay for their subscription and stop using Trend Micro.
This is a very big problem I hope it is being addressed. Only addon I have is your ad blocker. Also this is completely on your end, not ours. I am the perfect test, my computer is brand new, and by brand new I mean I just started using it the other day, the same day my firefox browser kept crashing as I attempted to clear my browsing history.
Windows 7, 8GBs RAM, AMD athlon II quad core 2.90 GHz
Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing.

How do I monitor CPU Temp?

Is there a way to monitor CPU temp already built in the software or do I have to download a third party one?
If I have to download one what do you recommend?

Temperature monitor is free. They also sell a program called hardware monitor. That is what I use. I bought it a few years ago, and they keep on upgrading it for free.

K9n2 bios reading my cpu temps all wrong

K9n2 bios reading my cpu temps all wrong well actuly it not reading them at all my cpu AMD x2 5200 is said to be ideling at 26c but when i run a stress testor it stay at 26c so no change what so ever between load anf idle temps.
my cou core temps are wrong any way and all wasy have been core 0 idle at -2c and core 1 -22c but they have goe up to core 1 26c and core 2 8c load so its obviously geting hotter but the motherboard isant repoting that it is :/ i have used manny difforent programs and all came back with 26-27c for the cpu no mater what i do i have bios 3.3.
this never haped on my old ABIT kn9 sli it allways stated the corect cpu heat
ohh and also speed fan carnt recogise the cpu it just says temp 1,2,3 for the motherboard where as befor it was cpu,core,chip and so on (that was with old board)
any sugestions
sorry for spelling im dyslexic

well my cpu is back in my old motherboard with no problems at all no hard crashes and with the same ram timings the proper ram volts 2.1(msi board couldent handle 2.1v for ram) and the board only reports 26c no other temp used all temp programs and non of them changed when fully stresed only core temp showed any temp change but cart go buy that because my cores are so far off now on my old bard the temps go up and down like they should.
i did clear the CMOS whith all unpluged
all were at stock but ram voltage went to 1.8v so upped it to 2.1v (manual recomended) (wouldent start)
at stock if i restarted pc for somthing like an update it wouldent post unless it was un pluged at pluged back in (at stock)
and i have had no such problems with my old ASROCK board or my board im on now a ABIT kn9 570a sli
ohh and the board came warped but the rear ports
any way decided to go over to intel so got a EVGA board now and using a old p4 extream
sorry to sound pissed of but 2 boards that were useless (each was from difforent Etailor)
and windows was a fresh instal

PowerMac G5 DP CPU temps?

Hello all,
I am curious to get some feedback in regards to CPU temperature of the PowerMac G5s out there and whether or not I have an issue with my machine and should take it in to the Apple Store.
I have my processor performance set to 'Highest' to minimize the fans going into overdrive (aka 'takeoff mode!").
At idle, my CPU temps read:
CPU A: 57.2/135.0 (ºC/ºF)
CPU B: 69.6/156.2 (ºC/ºF)
However, if I start taxing the system they jump up considerably, and there is an even greater gap between CPU B's temp over CPU A.
These are the extremes I have gotten when running the processors at 100%:
CPU A: 64.4/148.0 (ºC/ºF)
CPU B: 88.7/191.7 (ºC/ºF)
As you see, it jumped from 12ºC warmer up to 24ºC. Is this a serious issue to worry about? I have cleaned out the case and checked for any coolant leaks of which there are none visible. From other research online, it seems normal for the temps to be off +/-5ºC, usually with A being warmer than B.
Would a Thermal Re-calibration at the Genius Bar help things? I would just like to check others experiences and see if this is something I should pay closer attention to and in more detail.

Thank you for the links. It does seem like it's going to run a minimum of $800 just for the processor anywhere I look. What worries me about that is still having the liquid cooled system and the many issues I have be reading about lately with them.
As a designer, actually I have had LCD monitors for over 4 years now at every job I have had. I also use an LCD at home. I actually prefer them. I know there are color differences, but they have come such a long way that I'd hate to go back to a CRT again, so big and bulky. Again, this is just my personal preference.
I do love my PowerMac which why I am disappointed with the issues I've had with it. Not little issues either, the most expensive issues. Plus, with the new OS Snow Leopard possibly dropping the PowerPC line, I'd rather be looking ahead versus treading water with another used PowerMac, even if I could save and reuse all the extras I've put into it.
The more research I do, the more I am leaning towards the iMac 3.06GHz model and max it out to 4GB with aftermarket RAM. As long as I can get 1-2 working years out of it, I can then hand it down to my wife and then make another serious investment into a new MacPro.
I know you can't expand the iMac, other than adding more RAM, possibly putting in a larger HD. Although I have a 160GB in my G5 that I use maybe half of. I also have a LaCie 250GB external where I store most all of my things, so a 500GB internal on the iMac would be plenty for me right now.
As she is a very basic user (internet, music, word processing, etc.) she would still have plenty of computer after it being only 2 years old. She uses my 6 year old Ti PowerBook G4 now and it suits her just fine. (+mini rant here+...how is it my laptop which has traveled many miles has lasted twice as long as my more expensive chained to a desk in a controlled environment machine!?)
As she is finishing school working on her RN degree, I think the iMac is the best case scenario for now (very limited budget) and then when we can save up the extra cash, I'll just get a whole new system. Plus I'll be able to use her to get a student discount and save a few bucks and get a free iPod touch!
As for the Mac Genius, he told me it would cost $85 to run diagnostics as I was out of warranty. He ended up not running any as he told me based on everything I had done and the results I had gotten from my own hardware test, it would only indicate the same results there and doing the re-calibration would not fix anything.

It ALL works (mostly)!!! CPU Temp Monitor??
