Core center alarms

Not sure what's going on here. New PC and new to Opteron. I installed the core-center application (MSI said the Alert 4 wasn't supported on my motherboard) and when it starts it constantly alarms.
It's very hard to see what its complaining about, but the only thing that's a little strange is the RPM on the fans are all 0.
When I reboot and go into health status the fans are running and are set not disabled.
Anyone got any clue why corecenter might complain in this way?

The Master needs a differen Core-Center to start with, look at the Server/Workstation downloads.
If you have installed that special version and it still sounds the alarm, click on the right-red-arrow and move the sliders.
It's probably sounding the alarm because of a fan running too slow to be measured by corecenter.

  • Core Center Alarm / Temperature

    When I boot my Pc from having left it off overnight, the PC boots as normal, but when the Core center loads, an alarm sounds. ?(
    When viewing the Core center it seems the alarm is sounding because my CPU fan is reading 0 rpm  ?( (It is running).
    Shut the PC down & restart, core center loads with No alarm. Check the CPU fan & it is running at over 3000 rpm
    Im confused  ?(
    Running original Bios
    Any suggestions most appreciated  
    Thanks in advance...........  

    Hi,
    I had the same problem I was getting a cpu reading of about 50C and the f***ing  :O  fan alarm was going on all the time.  The only way I foung to make it stop was discovered by accident.  I clicked on the graphic that says "core center" and then I set the fan control over to user mode and boosted up the fans to avoid the annoying alarms.  Apparently when the core center is controlling the fan it at some point giver less power to the fan and it powers down.  I was this close to going back to the store to complain about a faulty fan.  My cpu temperature did get a bit lower though but mid 40's is still too high.  By the way never turn off the core center, both times I did the temperatures rose to over 100C and after everythingg slowed down windows managed to shut down.  I was about to flash my mobo but I think I will wait out for a better bios to come out.

  • Core Center Alarm

    I have a MSI 875P Neo Motherboard with a intel 3.0Gig chip and when I start up the system I get an alarm in core center....on the left side it says
    1.49v
    Vcore
    4.08 flashing in red
    3.3v
    5.08v
    +5v
    11.52v
    +12v
    and in the Center it says 201mhz x 15.0
             3015Mhz
    anyone no why the alarm is going off?
    Thanks Halfdawg

    Obviously, I don't think that your PSU is even a true 480watts PSU where you've got such low amps on every rails that is only comparable to a 330watts PSU...
    Get something like Antec 480watts or Enermax 465watts PSU and you'll see no reds in Corecenter anymore. If you are thinking that Antecs and Enermaxs are too expensive for you, maybe you would consider a middle range pricing PSU which fits almost the category of a 430watts output minimum with +3.3 @ 24A~26A, +5v @ 30A~40A and most importantly +12v @ 18A~22A. Anything above the recommended specs would definately be better.

  • [solved] Dual Core Center alarm sound inconsistency

    Hey,
    My Dual Core Center sounds an alarm since my CPU fan is running too slow (below 1000 rpm). Fair enough. When selecting User Settings and a profile with a lower rpm border value the alarm goes away, but when restarting it sometimes return to the Default profile making the alarm come back.
    How do I permanently remove this alarm, or at least make the user profile run at every startup?
    No wonder everyone discards the DualCoreCenter utility.
    Cheers!

    Browse through the MSI/Dual Core Center folder and look for a configuration file named HW.INI. Open it with an editor tool or wordpad and you should see about this (click on the picture to enlarge it):
    To turn off the alarm permanently, "SOUNDWARNING" has to be set to "SOUNDWARNING=0".  You can also keep the sound alarm enabled (=1) and lower the threshold value for the CPU FAN ("FAN_LOWER_LIMIT") from "1000" to 700 or whatever works best for you.

  • K8T Neo - Core Center alarm going off, nothing out of spec?

    I've been running my A64 machine on my K8T Neo board for about 9 months now, with no problems at all.  I've been running Core Center all along, to get Cool 'n Quiet underclocking.  Until today, it's worked flawlessly.
    Tonight, when I booted my machine up (Windows XP SP1), the interface popped up from the minimized icon, and the alarm started going off.  From what I can tell, if the dashboard sees something out of spec, it's supposed to flag it in red.  When I look at all of the reported values, they look the same as they've always looked.
    I went to the MSI site and downloaded/installed v. 2.0.0.4, to see if it was a software problem.  Same thing is happening.  Here are the values being reported (again, they seem to be the same as always).
    Vcore: 1.10
    3.3v: 3.30
    +5V: 5.00
    12V: 12.08 (varies by a coulple hundreths)
    CPU Temp: 34c
    SYS Temp: 38c
    CPU Fan: 1700rpm
    NB Fan: N/A
    Current freqency (A64 3000+): 204Mhz x 5.0 -- 1020 Mhz (idling)
    I'm hesitant to just silence the alarm, in case there's something seriously wrong.  Multiple reboots haven't changed anything.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Good to know that it's not a unique situation.  I really want to keep using Cool n' Quiet for the automatic underclocking to reduce the heat (at 100% load, my quiet fan doesn't cool all that well -- within range, but still high), without having to manually step the system back up every time a processor load hits.
    See any problems with running Core Center with the alarm turned off, then Speedfan to actually monitor the system?  Or is there any way to get Cool n' Quiet without Core Center?
    Interestingly enough we have the same CPU, and your 1.1V vcore is exactly what I get at 1000Mhz. You get "cool" (cpu Mhz throttling) by virtue of the AMD processor driver and "Minimal Power management" setting in Control Panel, Power Options. If you shut down corecenter and watch your system, if you see what I see on my system, the CPU will stay at 1000Mhz but the fan will not be controlled. Enter - speedfan for fan control. It does a real nice job, with no alarms.

  • Alarm going off in core center

    I have an alarm going off in core center Theres a red arrow next to wherer it says 12 v. then in the white box it says 10.95 v  any one know what it means and what I could do about it I don't know whats normal for the readings I get in core center. My pc has been locking up and certian games wont load unless it's really cool in the room.

    Good questions! Some folks have acceptable readings with CoreCenter, by verifying them with the Hardware Monitor (in BIOS). I compared them with my SpeedFan program, and as far as temps go..I use a laser temp gun to check CPU, case, and video card temps. Voltages on the PSU can be verified with a voltmeter of course. The specifications on your NB fan should be in your manual. Or you can check out this thread at Anandtech:

  • Having trouble with voltage alarm in core center

    I hadn't used this comp for about a year, just put it back together and added the kingston ram to it that a buddy gave to me. Just found Core Center online and installed it. The problem i'm having is that the alarm is going crazy. Don't have alot of experience overclocking, and i'm not actaually trying to at all. I've been having programs close and games freeze up because of overheating. This is what I see when I look at the core center.
    on the left
    1.39 v
      Vcore
    2.72-82 v (flashing red)
     3.3V
    4.97 v
     +5v
    11.84-90v
     +12V
    If I open the tab, the FBS says 200mhz and is flashing blue to black
    doesn't look like i'm having any problems with cpu temp. 35 'C
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    do you know how to enter into bios if so then click on default save and exit then see what happens, somehow it looks the voltage for memory has been set 2.7 or 2.8 volt which is too high it should be 1.8 or 2.5 volt
    Yea its at 2.5 i beleive. I reset everything to default, and it has been since i put everything back together. Before i had core center installed it was crashing guild wars, and wow consistantly because of overheating. I'll unistall core center and get a monitering app instead.

  • MSI P35 NEO & dual core center problem

    hi, i have a problem with my motherboard msi, Bios 1.2  and the dual core center 2.0.0.8 ,since days ago, the msi dual core center 2.0.0.8 so many times shows fan speeds alerts false alarms from the cpe temp, for that reason, i upgraded the appl to 2.0.1.6 ( the last),i set the oc level to 25% like with the older version, but time later the pc crash and put a black crash screen  and it dont let me to overclock my cpu    , i get back to 2.0.0.8 but the fan alarm dont stop, and i dont know if the newer version fix this problem
    any help?

    right, but i like to use msi dual core center, because i dont like to have the pc overclocked all the time, anyother suggestion for this?
     thanks for the reply

  • Cool-n-quit/core-center

    in CnQ my cpu fan gives me an alarm above 3000 rpm's. Whatever I change in the setup, this won't stop. The fan speed alarm in set to 10.000
    Temperature is just 36 degr for CPU and 37 for system  
    Any thoughts?

    Hi everyone. As you can see I'm kind of a newb and I have some related questions. First off some background. I've done hardware installs, harddrive clean formats and swaps, etc. I was planning on building my own computer, but order one from cyberpowerinc.com. I haven't done a profile yet but will after this post so by the time you read this my system should be listed below. Anyway, in the BIOS I had cool and quiet disabled because in the manual it says to check serial numbers of chips before running it, and I didn't want to mess with pulling the heat sink , etc. to check my serial number. This morning while investigating a noise issue (high, varying frequency, buzz) I noticed in Core Center that it was related to CPU fan RPM (low RPM). I then found the program called speedfan, which allowed me to varify this, as Core Center wasn't real accurate. Using speed fan I was able to run the fan at 100% and got no buzzing. Below 70-80% I did though. I then found this thread and realized Core Center could do this (by clicking on Core Center) in another thread. So is the Cool and Quiet mode in Core Center the same as in the BIOS, because I thought if I disabled in the BIOS it would be disable, come to find out Core Center was running it (and causing the bad noise when the fan cycled to low RPM), it wasn't however slowing the CPU speed.
    So basically, I hate the buzz at low fan speed, can I just run my fan at max through Core Center? Is there another program that will allow me to run a min fan speed, but cycle say from 100% to 80%? Is it even worth that cycling if only down to 80%? Should I just set it to max or 7/8 manually? Are the BIOS and Core Center Cool and Quiet settings related?
    Any info you think will be useful to me, please let me have it. Thanks.

  • Core Center Related

    I am getting:
    1st Line: Vcore 1.49V
    2nd Line: 2.91V
    3.3V under line 2
    3rd Line 5.03
    5V under line 3
    4th Line 12.08v
    12 under line 4
    and the alarm goes off, I am very new and would be most thankful for any help.

    First off if the computer is working and stable you don't want to change any of those. Second Core Center is the wrong place to change any of those values unl;ess it is for a specific test. I don't ever recommend making any changes with Core Center for any reason. In fact I don't recommend Core Center at all.
    Best to restart with Stock values and if you are looking to play around ask first so that you knopw what changes to try and make and how to test it to see if any changes have the correct affects.
    LOL Now I sound like I am talkking down to you. I know that but I can not know what level of knowledge you have. If what I said offends you please forgive me. I am just trying to help someone I don't know and over the internet to boot. That is never really that easy to do.

  • Dual Core Center doesn't work at all.

    My mobo is P35Neo2-FR. Cpu is C2D E4600. I didn't overclocked it. WinXP professional 32BIT is installed.
    .Net 2.0 is also installed.
    From some time, I cannot launch Dual Core Center program. When I double-click the Dual Core Center icon,
    There is nothing to be launched. I could not understand why the program suddenly didn't work.
    Please let me know the solution to successfully launch Dure Core Center program.

    yeah! my only experience with DCC is,... after it runs, it straight away turn on the siren, annoy the whole PC, and after 10 seconds, it shuts down my PC! That's the big annoyance already. The next time I reboot, I quickly terminate it from runnign longer, and straight away remove it from my PC. don't even bother to figure out where the alarm settings is.

  • Controlling fans with Core Center?

    I feel such a fool, but I can't see any way of controlling fan speeds with MSI's Core Center? 
    The centre panel listss the CPU/NB temperature and fan speeds... if I click on the red arrow to the side of that, the extra panel that slides out simply gives me options on when the alarms should sound, based on either temperature or fan speed. 
    Am I meant to increase the fan speed by raising the minimum fan speed alarm threshold?  Not only is that a daft way of doing it, but it doesn't seem to have any effect...?

    Quote from: petsoukos on 25-March-06, 21:16:41
    Why isn't there a fan control for the NB Fan? The stupid thing runs at 7000rpm (according to CoreCenter) I need to control it coz not only it makes so much noise but it is also damaged making the noise 10 times louder and I have no time to RMA the board.
    Please....I need to control it manually or I'm going to shut it down completely (ripping the freakin thing of the board).......
    While I dunno about your mbrd, the NB fans on a couple of MSI mbrds I've played with are just not really speed controllable.  With Speedfan, I can reduce the speed but below 90% or so, the fan starts to stall and then oscillates between nearly stopped and its max speed.  I have mine, on a K8N Neo2 Plat set to max speed of 95% and min of 90%, which reduces the noise a touch.
    If it's getting noisy and looking like failing, email MSI tech support and tell 'em it's failing and you're experiencing hangs and reboots.  I had two mbrds I reported like this, which were behaving badly, and they sent me 3 new heatsink/fans.  Those new fans run a bit slower, max of ~6Krpm, and are smoother running.  If you do this, it's a good idea to register the mbrd with them and then in your email, give the serial no and your postal address.  I had my new fans in a week or so, with no hassle or telephone calls at all.

  • CORE CENTER = TROUBLE!

    If I were you I wouldn't use CORE CENTER. I had it running on both of my new NEO FIS3R machines (I just built two seperate machines). Well wouldn't you know it, the HSF totally stopped DEAD on BOTH machines! (at different times of course) The alarms were screaming! I didn't know what had happened until I opened the cases. Needless to say I stopped using Core Center. If you are using it now you should seriously consider dumping it!

    been asked to make sure you are all using latest version
    and ask have you changed any settings as they say cannot get it to do this in the lab
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_list.php
    any of you tried speedfan with the board
    http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
    as at least with that you can set minimum speed fans can be forced to,you can set it from 0 percent were board can disable it to 100 percent
    so if you set it to 70 percent it can never turn fan off ,just lower it a bit to take edge of its noise
    but all this assumes it understands the boards chips,winbonds etc

  • MSI Dual Core Center

    Dual Core Center is a great tool but one thing that is annoying me is the FAN speed detector. I didn't plug fan into one of the header so Dual Core Center's alarm will be on all the time. Is there anyway to disable the alarm?
