Gaming (Bootcamp) iGPU temp

Hey guys,
I just installed Win8 on bootcamp for the first time to try some games what I cannot play under Mavericks. So I downloaded AIDA64 app for monitoring temperatures to test how it goes with playing.
There is one item I don't recognize from iStat app on Mavericks. That item is called as "iGPU" and it measure kind of higher temp compared with just "GPU Diode".
In idle mode "iGPU" have about 47°C, but when I playing (for example World of Tanks on High settings), the temperature raise into about 90°C and in that moments starts fan going about 1600rpm and temperature is holding little under 90°C.
So my questions are:
1) What exactly does mean "iGPU"? Because nothing like this isn't in my iStat app on Mavericks.
2) Is this temperature okay for this part of graphic card or whatever it is?
Thanks for you answers!

This is a general iMac forum where most users only use OS X. There is a Boot Camp forum where that I would recommend you re-post in. That is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus will hang out.
Good luck

  • X99S Gaming 7 - motherboard temp readings in fast boot?

    Hi, odd question but does anyone elses motherboard error message display/temp sensor display not display the temperature if MSI fast boot is set in BIOS?

    Then try latest BIOS as TZBC suggested

    If you would prefer DOS way of flashing, you can try to >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    And latest BETA for your board to be used with Forum Flash Tool:

  • New 290X Gaming Really high temps.

    Hi,
    I just purchased a new MSI Gaming R9 290X. The card runs super hot. I am not doing benchmarks. It runs hot just playing games. I have to stop gaming because the card is reaching 90C. It doesn't seem like the fans are kicking up like they should. I also have tried to manually control the fan speed using the CCC and MSI AB. None of those will let me touch the fan settings. Please help
    CPU: i7 3970X
    MOBO: Rampage IV Extreme
    RAM: Viper 3 2133
    GPU: MSI Gaming R9 290X
    SSD: Samsung 840 250GB
    HDD: WD Cavier Black 1tb X4 raid0
    PSU: Thermal Take 1300W

    **Update**
    Last night I was monitoring the GPU usage and it is hovering at 100% load and then dropping back down to normal which should be around 30-50% for this card. I had a 280x that never reached 100% playing the same game. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. Although I used the new version of driver sweeper... I forget what its actually called. That is the reason for the temps. My fan speeds up to about 3k RPM and stays there but the load is pretty much stuck at 100%. Is there anything I can do to bring it down or does it seem like a bad card?
    Thanks for the responses
    @Denis01: It takes maybe 7-10 mins on average. Not long at all. Idles at 40C
    @Nichrome: will try to reapply thermal paste once I get home.

  • Z87M Gaming - False CPU Temp?

    I'm helping an overseas person with a motherboard replacement and when he entered the BIOS the CPU Temp was locked at 99C never went up or down from there. CPU fan was running at a nominal speed and there wasn't smoke coming from the CPU.
    I don't have the full specs but this is what I know.
    Z87M Gaming
    16GB Corsair Vengence Pro C9 1600MHz
    Intel Core i7 4770K
    Corsair CX750 750W PSU
    System Temp was 27C
    I've been using Skype with him and I had him point the camera at his BIOS.
    I'm sorry I don't have the BIOS version, but I'm thinking that a BIOS update will fix the reading, just wondering if anyone else has had a false reading with this board.

    Have you started by simply clearing the cmos?
    If the board was getting a false reason the fan would ramp up. Perhaps he can send you a screen shot of this?

  • PC Gaming: Bootcamp vs. Parallels vs. VMWare Fusion

    Hey guys,
    First time Mac owner in just 5 days. Excited!
    I'm currently on a Windows 7 laptop, but with my MBP coming, I'd like to move 100% to the MBP. I'm still a PC gamer though, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience running older games on Bootcamp/Parallels/VMWare Fusion.
    Generally, I still play old stuff like Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, MVP Baseball 2005, NBA Live 06, Madden 07, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Need for Speed, Red Faction, Max Payne 2, etc.
    My specs are as follows: 2.0GHz quad-core, Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM @ 1333MHz, 500GB hard drive @ 5400-rpm, Intel HD Graphics 3000, AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5.
    I'd like to try and avoid Bootcamp if possible, just because I'm not big on having to reboot to jump from OSX to a game. Would Parallels/Fusion be able to run these smoothly? After reading some of the forum posts, some people are struggling a bit running both operating systems, but 8 GB of RAM should be enough to handle both, no? Is it possible for the RAM to die/burn out from being overused by multitasking like this?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Bootcamp is the easiest and best performing way to play windows games. When Running Parrallels or VMware... you are using virtulization software and cannot utilize the true performance of the machine. BOOTCAMP will be your best method of running demanding games that are made for WINDOWS.
    However, as an alternative you could try using wineskins or steam. Wineskin will allow you to run windows games on your mac. Anyway, booting into windows is not all that bad it takes maybe 1 minute. You won't burn out your ram, but I don't think virtulization should be used to play games because you just won't get the performance you need to run graphically intensive games.
    SO JUST INSTALL WINDOWS USING BOOTCAMP and your machine will operate like a PC and have better performance than the virtulization software.

  • Gaming Bootcamp. Any new famous game coming to S40...

    When will temple run2 , angry birds , fruit ninja like games be available in store for asha 305?
    Please tell
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You need to ask the developers of those games that question as it's their decision to bring them to the Asha 305, not Nokia's.

  • Can I move a sparsebundle from external drive to bootcamp for temp backup?

    i am in my windows 7 boot camp install and I am trying to move a sparsebundle /off/ a Mac OSX journaled external drive to the Boot Camp drive but I am getting an error that says:
    could not find this item. this is no longer located in the G:\Data...your sparsebundle...\bands.
    is it not possible to move a sparsebundle like this? I'd like to move it off the drive so I can use the external drive and I have the space on my internal drives...
    thanks
    background: i moved a sparesebundle to an external drive (from within Disk Utility as I recall) so that I would have a backup when I had to reformat my Time Capsule due to some issue. Now I need the external drive to run a clone to but I'd still like to hang onto this sparsebundle in case I deleted a dumptruck worth of data moving info around and playing with dropox.

    you're the man.
    for future reference can i please just ask you if there are any restrictions on moving these from mac hd to mac hd in any way? I remember when I had to get it off the TC that I did this through Disk Utility for some reason.
    Not that I know of.  It will take quite a while, of course, especially over a network.
    The complication with copying from a TC via the Finder is, you have to locate it via the Finder by clicking on the Time Capsule in a Finder Sidebar or on your desktop, then double-click the volume to be able to see the sparse bundle.  Then you can drag it.
    /Also/ can I please ask you if I should /see/ a Time Capsule from a boot camp partition or from a windows virtual machine or even from a laptop on the network?
    As I mentioned earlier, I don't do Windoze.
    I think you should be able to see the TC itself from any computer on the network, and the HD as well (unless, perhaps, it's protected by a password), but I have no idea how to do that in Windoze.
    Perhaps one of our networking gurus will pop in with a better answer . . .

  • Newb question: can anyone tell me what these Speedfan temps mean???

    I just built my first PC (P6N SLI-FI board and Core 2 Duo 6420 chip) and I've got a few questions about cooling (I'm using the stock cooler and the thermal paste that came with the chip):
    1.  I installed Speedfan, but I'm not sure what each temp refers to.  After having the machine run Windows XP for a minute or two, here are my approximate readings (all in degrees Celsius, obviously):
    Temp1= 23
    Temp2= 30
    Temp3= 145 (I think this is an error due to lack of a sensor)
    HD0 = 23
    Core0 = 23
    Core1 = 23
    After playing Neverwinter Nights 2 for about an hour, Temp2 reaches about 45 (all of the other readings are lower, somewhere in the 30s I think, but I can't remember for sure).
    2.  I'm going to be using my computer mostly for gaming.  What temps should I try to stay below?  Should I think about using Artic Silver 5?  (I really wanted to use it when I put the machine together, but I wimped out because I was worried about voiding the warranty with Intel  ) 

    Quote from: Snaggly Pete on 24-May-07, 23:09:08
    Thanks for the info.  So, none of the temperatures I've listed represent the ambient temperature?  How do I find out what the ambient temperature is?
    The temp in my house was probably about 70F (I didn't actually check at the time) when I measured those temperatures and yes core0 and core1 were roughly 23C.  Again, I only had the computer on for a minute or two when I checked SpeedFan. 
    Sorry for the delay in responding to your question!
    As far as case temperature, I've gone as far as suspending a household thermometer in the vicinity of the HS fan.
    Fact: It is impossible for any air-cooling solution to cool the processor below the temperature of the intake airflow. Air cooling solutions, as well as liquid cooling solutions, rely on convection (+conduction and radiation) to transfer the heat off of the CPU. The amount of heat the air mass/flow can absorb is limited by the temperature of the air mass, volume and partial pressure across the heatsink(s). Except for the short time the HS is transitioning from a cooler, non-operational state, where the HS may be cooler than the incoming airflow caused by a newly started system, to the operational state with both case temperature and CPU temperature increasing, the temperature of the HS will always be above the temperature of the surrounding air.
    So, given a 70F/21C room temp, you should expect the 'system' (mobo) and core temperatures to be at or probably slightly above 21C if you check Hardware Monitor in BIOS immediately and as much as 10 - 15 degrees C higher by the time you check them in the OS. Again, those figures may be lower or higher by a few degrees depending on the HS/HSF used.
    Remember, when evaluating operating temps, always use the delta between case temperature and core temperature (or whichever system temp) rather than the temperature in question on its own. Say you are given two systems that use all the same components except the cooling solution. System A uses air-cooling solution 'Ace' and has a case temperature of 38C with core temps of 43C on each core, while System B uses cooling solution 'Best' and has a case temperature of 23C and core temps of 34C. Which is the better solution?
    The answer is probably TEC.

  • GTX770 Gaming temperature

    Hey,
    I googled but could not find an answer so ill ask here.
    I have a gtx 770 Gaming. The temps get up to 81 degrees, while (according to gpu-z) fan speed is at 47% and never goes over 50%.
    I have never had a card that got this hot. I have no artifacts or anything like that.
    Are these temps good/safe?
    Kind regards,

    I'd say that 81C is fine, and nothing to worry about to be honest.
    nvidia says that the maximum thermal limit is 98C (of course, you don't want to be near that). I think you're all good! Just ensure there's some nice airflow in there, maybe give it a dusting and enjoy.
    By the way, here's where I found the specs: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-770/specifications

    I first built the system in feb. 2015 and i set it up in bios for raid 0 with 2 samsung 850 pro's 250gb for O.S. and had win 8.1 features off, fast boot off and installed windows then updated graphics driver and all motherboard drivers and successfully updated bios to latest i believe 1.7, then i installed all my games and rendering software and went through each to set up, everything seems fine for a few days of gaming and video rendering with i think very cool cpu temps of 28-46 degrees C, after about 3 days of no signs of problems the sytem just goes blank! Complete shutdown! with no signs of life whatsoever! I unplug the power and reset cmos with nothing, i take everything out the case and place MB on its box and just use psu one stick memory in slot one or a1 and nothing but board graphics to monitor and it would never do anything so i rma'd the mb, when the replacement arrived i did a out of system post testing on box with everything passing to post fine, so i installed into pc case only thing different this time around i used a intel ssd in ACHI mode with win 8.1 Pro features on and fast boot because i read up on the samsung ssd drives having compatibility issues with some newer mb's so once all together i installed windows again thank god for flash drives because my 8.1 pro will install in bout 5 minutes from usb! ok installed and updated just as before and everything seems fine with temps no errors anywhere! after bout 2 days it just shutdown again with nothing happening like no lights on board or any sign of power so i took psu out and done a power fan on test and was good! I took mb out and box test everything i possibly could to get life out of it but none! Once again rma'd it! Ok so then i was in a two week turnaround with that mb so i figured what the heck i'll order from good ol amazon a new mb but i wanted to see if it was my particular type mb so i ordered a z97 pc mate with making sure all componets was on its compatiblity list! once arrived done exactly as my 2nd time with the same results, after a few days of on and off and rendering and gaming with cool temps it just went blank, no power! any resetting cmos or changing sticks of memory or anything would change it! I really need ome advise! I about ready to take everything to my burn barrell out back!

    So.. Memory could cause issue with boot but not really killing whole thing. I had motherboard a while ago that RAM slot got burnt. But I was able to boot fine when I have put the RAM stick into other slot so RAM in your case should not kill whole thing, especially if you havent populated all slots. CPU.. very rare to be the issue but may happen. Case.. yes might be shortening motherboard killing it by the end. So when you get new part(s), run your system on motherboard box for few days. If nothing happens then you can take risk of placing it into the case.. but not sure if its worth the risk if it is indeed a case?
    PC tech without equipment to test(at least PSU and RAM)? Weird.

  • Can I partition a 3tb fusion drive on a 2014 imac27", with boot camp, to let me install windows 7?

    I have used boot camp to create a partition for Windows 7 on 3 earlier Macs (iMac 24" 2007 / Mac Pro 2009 / Macbook Pro 2009) as well as a recent Macbook Air 2012.
    My main reason for this is to use Sage Account/Payroll, and also a couple of other Windows-specific programs.
    I have just replaced the old iMac with a new iMac27", with a 3tb fusion drive, and want to partition it to install a new oem copy of Win 7 sp1.
    However, I found an article on this (link: http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive) implying this might not currently be officially supported by Apple & boot camp assistant, and providing a workaround procedure to create 3 partitions. The article begins with this note: "Important Note: This help document is for reference only, superceded by updates to OS X that include support for 3TB drives and Fusion drive in Boot Camp Assistant.  Use Boot Camp Assistant to create the Boot Camp partition."
    I have two questions:
    1 - Can anyone advise if updates have now been made, to provide this support for partitioning the 3tb fusion drive?....and if not, is this likely to change soon?
    2 - If this is still not officially supported, can anyone advise if they have successfully created a Windows partition on the 3tb fusion drive & installed Win 7?
    Thanks in advance. 

    Based on Apple's knowledge base. this configuration is supported for Windows 7 x64 and 8 using Mountain Lion 108.3 or higher. Simply use BootCamp Assistant to set it up.
    See here:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5639?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    and here:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4441
    For your application, you might also consider virtualization software like VMWare Fusion or Parallels.
    I use both BootCamp and VMWare Fusion. Fusion is much easier to install, more flxible, runs at the same time as your Mac applications etc. For typical applications, there is no notable performance degradation.
    If you need high performance graphics for gaming, BootCamp is still the best way to go. For all other applications, I prefer VMWare.

  • Questions from an XP user

    I've used OS X before at non-apple conventions and at apple stores, but since not having a version to play with, I have some questions.
    *Does OS X come with a tool to view pictures (gif,jpeg,png,tga,bmp,etc)?
    *Are the guys at apple working on a built in version of Crossover Mac? 'Cause I have some apps (MS Office '97, Midtown Madness 2)
    *What's the name of the app that allows you to view those pictures I asked above. And what's the name of Apple's Media player? Quicktime?

    Welcome to the Forums!
    The Preview application which is part of OS X allows you to view all types of image file formats, as well as pdfs. It has a slideshow function as well.
    As Steve says, QuickTime Player and DVD Player are the bundled video viewers.
    Apple offers BootCamp, currently available as a beta. There's also Parallels, which allows you to run a Windows virtual machine from within the Mac OS. Parallels will not work for gaming, BootCamp will. Both require you have a licensed copy of Windows (unlike CrossOver Mac, which is limited in it's compatibility with programs).
    As for that the guys (and girls!) at Apple are working on, be aware that the Terms of Use for the forums prohibit speculation about future products. Feel free to visit the many rumor sites out there.

  • R7950 TwinFrozr OC - stability issue playing flash video

    After a day or so uptime, with some gaming, max gpu temp 55°C, idle 40°.
    Had a driver crash - main monitor had a mess of gray noise, extended desktop not affected. Caused by playing flash video on youtube. Also occurred in online newspaper, but in that case killing flash plugin solved the problem. The second occurrence required hard reboot.
    Had OC'd to 1050MHz gpu, 1575 dram, +10% power limit in Afterburner. Ran stable in multiple games (far cry 3, battlefield 3) as well as unigine heaven benchmark and 3dmark11 benchmark, as well as msi Kombustor burn-in test.
    After reboot I found several events in eventvwr saying: "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
    These messages appreared in the earlier event where reboot was not required.
    The details of the warning follows:

    While the screen was garbled, I unplugged the main monitor to isolate the source; problem moved to secondary monitor. Concluded that output from card was the problem, not the monitor.
    I have since reverted the card to stock OC, 880MHz, and tested flash video playback seems fine.
    Is this an instability problem due to my OC or grounds to RMA the card?
    I also shot a video of the event in case anyone is interested, but can't upload until I find my memory card reader.
    Second thought edit: I'm using the reference driver, should I be using MSI's driver instead?
    Edit 2: I reverted to the OC I had made, and flash video playback is working as it should. A confusing problem indeed, is there a bug in the driver?

    Quote
    Could you please answer my question about whether it would make a difference to run MSI's branded driver versus reference?
    MSI drivers are tested to works OK with the card, but you can try other drivers if you want.
    If you have troubles with other drivers, its recommended to use MSI VGA drivers.
