AWM CPU, GPU & NET Sensors

Just a note- this is a repost from another thread which you may have seen floating around... I posted in the wrong section....
But... can anyone please help me get my sensors working on AWM... I've honestly read the wikis more times than I can remember and have exhausted my patience. I just need cpu, gpu and net sensors running on my status bar.
I think one of the problems I'm having is not being sure exactly where to drop the codes within rc.lua so I restart and get error codes. Anyone interested in taking a stab at it I can share my code and start out with something simple like cpu frequency. If I can get that running I"m sure I'll figure out the rest.
Any other info just ask.
Thanks.

MacBookPro 15" 1.1: Strange GPU temp sensor behaviour

Hello to all,
Since I let my trusty MBP alone for a week two months ago some real strange behaviour occured.
I left my MBP in standby as usual. When I came back from my trip, the battery was completely discharged and I had to connect the power adapter. MBP awoke from suspend to disk (grey screen, progress bar) and a few seconds after beeing ready for work, fans started to rev up. 5 min later the fans were running at full speed.
Puzzled, I did a restart. Same behaviour, high RPM right after boot logo, full 6000rpm after a few minutes.
When I took a look at iStatMenus I saw that the GPU Heatsink Sensor Temperature was around 35 degrees Celsius (around 70 Fahrenheit) higher than the GPU Temp sensor itself. It was the highest readout by all sensors, which makes no sense at all.
I tried: PRAM reset, SMC reset, PMU reset. Apple Hardware Diagnostic CD by me and a German ASP, and by a Genius Bar expert. No errors shown.
But over the two months the difference between the values sank to 18-20deg Celsius, and I found a tool to let only the CPU sensor control the fan, so I was happy again.
Yesterday I came back from another trip, guess what: battery empty, woke up from standby..... the difference is now around 36 deg Celsius, and the MBP shuts down automatically even on the smallest YouTube clip when GPU Heatsink Temp exceeds around 86deg Celcius.
I am clueless, everybody around me too. So maybe one of you has an idea?
Regards, Matthias

Not sure about sensors adapting to reality by themselves. This sounds like very strange behavior. I wonder if there could be something like a loose connection somewhere.
Did the computer misbehave in front of the genius? If it didn't, it might be worth while seeing if you can determine the exact circumstances under which it will act up so you can make it act up in front of the genius.
For example, my iBook used to freeze, but only when warmed up. I went to the genius bar early so I could give it time to warm up so that it would be sure to malfunction in front of them. This is especially important to do if you are still under warranty. It's important to establish that a problem first occurred under warranty, especially if your warranty is close to running out.
Good luck!

Any native extension for checking memory and cpu/gpu usage of ios and android?

What is the biggest bottleneck on this machine - CPU, GPU, RAM (now at 8GB), or the HD, and would I be better getting a current 27" iMac, a 2012 Mac Mini, or SSDs for my current Mini?

I currently have a 2011 Mac Mini Server. When using FCP X, what is the biggest bottleneck on this machine - CPU, GPU, RAM (now at 8GB), or the HD, and would I be better getting a current 27" iMac, a 2012 Mac Mini, or SSDs for my current Mini?

Hi Tom,
I just wanted to ask you about what you said about the color correction. To be quite honest I'm not sure what the best workflow is, and I haven't gotten my feet wet in multi-cam editing. Basically my work-flow has been.
1) Import from the camera as optimized media - I found that adding color-correction at the import stage cause a severe hang with my tape-based Canon unit.
2) Color-correct the imported files before loading any files into a project
3) Drag files onto the timeline
4) Click on the color-correction box
5) Start editing - Usually I have one camera zoomed a little tighter on the singer, one on the whole band, and my iPad or iPhone camera at different angles so I start cutting things according to who is the focus of the moment, add a Ken Burns effect every here and there, Titles, an occassional transition effect.
6) Add music effects after the looks are taken care of
7) Export
Are you recommending clicking on the color-correction box after everything is done?
Thanks - TZ

What are safe CPU/GPU operating temps?

I'm running BONIC on my new 6 core Mac Pro, 32GB RAM, 1TB storage, dual D700 GPU's and I've been monitoring CPU/GPU temps and fan RPMs using Temp Gauge Pro ... once BONIC gets going you can see all the CPUs maxed out and temps begin to rise... as expected of course, but after about 5 minutes or so the fan is maxing out at 1900 rpm and I see max CPU temps hitting ~92 degrees ... GPUs are running cooler...
is this within the safe operating range ?

I have the base 4 core and with Mac FanConrol I get 60C GPU Diode, 57 CPU Proximity while running Setie@home and Einstein. Fan is 914

Cineform Encoding not utilising CPU/GPU in AME

Hey folks, I'm working on a machinima project at the moment with fairly massive amounts of data. We are acquiring our images at two resolutions, 2560x1440 and 3820x2400, which is generated with Uncompressed RGB .avi files. I am then using the watch folder tool in Media Encoder to convert these to Cineform 444 Filmscan 2 .avi files. There is only a slight amount of disk space saved by this transcoding but the main reason we do this is becaus Premiere seems to be able to play back the Cineform files fin in realtime, where as it can't playback the uncompressed files.
The issue is, that Media Encoder takes about 5x realtime to do this encoding. I have tried with and without Cuda switched on and it doesn't seem to want to utilise my hardware. The CPU usage is about 14% of one core, and the GPU is even less.
Is there a reason Cineform can't max out my CPU/GPU usage in media encoder?
I have tried this on two systems with very different specs, and have the same results.
System 1: i7 3770K @ 4.6GHz, 32GB RAM, 2x AMD 7970 GPU, 700MB/s RAID5
System 2: i7 980X @ 4.2GHz, 24GB RAM, 2x GTX 780, 700MB/s RAID5

What are your system specs? OS version, motherboard, memory, processor, number of hard drives etc...
Unless something jumps out related to your system, I really don't have any idea why it isn't working. We have two editing systems using the GTX285. They both are working fine.
If you go to iolo.com, download a free trial of System Mechanic (NOT the professional version which includes anti-virus). The trial is fully functional for 30 days. Run a complete system scan, repair problems and then restart. See if that helps.
You're NOT using the Premiere CS5 trial version... Right?

Probook 6570b - Are the CPU & GPU upgradeable?

Hi, I bought a refurbished Probook 6570b running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. It seems it doesn't come with the core cpu but rather a celeron B840 1.9GHz. Nor has it a discrete Graphics unit.
My question is this. Are the CPU & GPU upgradeable?
Thanks for taking time to read this!

New Macbook Pros CPU/GPU activity vs old Macbook white

I have a white Macbook C2D with GMA950 and I getting pretty tired of hearing the fans rev up when I use CoverFlow or when I watch Youtube videos. I need some insight on the Macbook Pros (13 inch) with the 9400m. For those who had a white Macbook similar as mine and now have a new Macbook Pro, do you see a big difference in the fan activity and heat dissipation?
I also like to play Warcraft 3 once in a while from OS X, so is the Macbook Pro with 9400m way more quiet than the Macbook with the GMA950?
It's time to move on for me, can't tolerate it anymore that my computer makes so much noise in the middle of a class or in the library as I scroll my documents in CoverFlow or when I use ArcGIS with Windows XP in Parallels.
So is the Macbook Pro quiet quiet quiet?

There is going to be a direct relationship to CPU/GPU usage and the fan speeds. Any virtual machine you run will eat up allot of resources as it works harder. Also while playing games like Warcraft you will need to keep the settings turned down to keep the MacBook quite. Over all I would consider all the current MacBook Pro's quite. But that's just my opinion.

Is there an utility for monitoring cpu/gpu temperature and fan speed for desektop m9200T?

My desktop computer m9200T running Win7 Home Premium crashes often. It seems to be temperature related.
I had tried SpeedFan, but my computer crashed everytime I ran it. SpeedFan window scrolled 20 some lines of text than the computer crashed. Is there an utility for monitoring cpu/gpu temperature and fan speed for desektop m9200T?

Hi,
Only have one temperature monitoring application running or you could end up with erroneous readings.
Try PC Wizzard. Depending on your hardware, you should see temperatures for CPU, GPU and disk. At the same site you can also try HW Monitor.
I am running a custom motherboard and it comes with its own software for this purpose. HW Monitor seems fairly complete.

Late 2011 MBP wont charge under cpu/gpu load

As soon as I start live streaming with Wirecast, my laptop starts discharging from the battery. As soon as I stop broadcasting, it immediately starts charing again. From what I've read already, this is possible due to a power adapter that is too small to handle the CPU/GPU load. Is there a fix for this? This is absolutely rediculous! I spend nearly $3,000.00 on this machine for the purpose of live streaming and it can't handle it?!?!?! Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I can see that by mistake I miscategorized my question:

GPU diode sensor problem?

The GPU diode temperature is -128C (temperature monitor) and blank (istatpro).
After some heavy use, the two programs are showing some readings, but the GPU diode temperature is much lower than the others (CPU, Heatsink, etc).
Is this a problem of the sensor?
(macbookpro 17”, early 2011).
Thnxs for your help.

Hi,
I know this is an old thread - but I came across it while searching for info as to why my precious MBP had the same issue. I believe I may have an answer, so wanted to post.
I noticed that the bug is not related to iStat as every other temp app I have used says the same thing. I also know it's not a sensor problem as I have run the Apple diag disk and a friend of mine who works in an Apple shop took a look and he says there's no problem either.
I downloaded gfxcardstatus as suggested in this thread, and I can see that when using the intel HD card, the temp is ~110c, when using the 330M it's ~50c, but here's the weird thing - when I try to switch to intel when certain apps are running, I get a warning saying that I cannot do this. If you click on the [Why?] button, you are taken to an explanation on the author's site, which says that the discreet card is never really turned off when certain apps are running - ie. 2 cards.... so I believe that the ~110c is a COMBINED reading for both cards which are running together but should not be. It's quite plausible that the intel HD would be running at ~60c, so there's your 110c.
Here's a pic of the authors site explaining the issue -
The best option would appear to be to keep it on the discreet card.
I hope this helps put other's minds at rest!!
PS. For me, the trigger apps are Little Snitch and iStat Menus.

T420 CPU/GPU Temperatures seem excessive...

I was running Prime95 to check my CPU (Core i5-2520M) temperature (using Real Temp) and I noticed it was a bit high, about 95 degrees celsius. I followed up by running FurMark to check how the NVS 4200 GPU was doing. It ended up sustaining at 87 degrees celsius. I did not run the two tests concurrently.
I decided to strip the heatsink off and apply new thermal compound. After the new compound was applied, the CPU temperature under Prime 95 peaked at 84 degrees celsius. Under Furmark, the GPU sustained at 75 degrees celsius. A very significant drop.
I decided to run the two tests concurrently (after new compound had been applied) and ended up with a CPU temperature of 100 degrees celsius and a GPU temperature of 97 degrees celsius. Pretty horrifying stuff. I can't imagine those values being within operating range.
These torture tests are rather extreme so I followed up with some gaming. I played DOTA 2 for about 3 hours and during that period my CPU peaked at 98 degrees celsius with an average temperature of 93 degrees celsius. I did not log the GPU temperature during this session.
I should mention that Turbo Boost is enabled and the fan was set at maximum speed.
Does anybody have any temperature figures for similair configurations? Specifically in situations where the GPU and CPU are both under high load. I'm curious to know if my temperatures are abnormal.

I started to think that it's not an issue with my sample. I went ahead and confirmed these temperatures on two other identically specced T420s (4178). Under extreme conditions the heatsink/fan unit cannot dissipate heat quickly enough causing both chips (CPU and GPU) to reach dangerous temperatures. If you haven't torture tested the GPU and CPU in your T420 concurrently, you might want to give it a shot. It gets alarmingly hot.
(Do this at your own risk, extreme heat can damage your hardware)
Prime 95: http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/ (CPU Test)
Furmark: http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ (GPU Test)
Real Temp: http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ (CPU Temperature)
GPU-Z: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/ (GPU Temperature)
Tests were done while plugged in using the default Power Source Optimized profile.
Prime95 test was run using In-place FFTs. Furmark was run at 800x600 with anti-aliasing off. The tests were run for 20 minutes concurrently.

Monitor cpu/gpu heat

I would like to create a vi that reads my graphics card, and cpu temps. Is there a way to program labview to read these temps? Something like the program speed fan. I would like to log my gpu temps during gaming.
Thanks,
Chod
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are far better ways to do this, as there are free tools available that can perform this kind of monitoring - just Google for them. Anything like this depends on the hardware's capabilities and the operating system. If you're on Windows .NET has some classes that can gather some of this information, as this example shows. However, whether this works or not depends, like I said, on what's supported by your hardware. That example did not work on my computer.
