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..

Hardware Monitor Vs. iStat CPU Temp Readings

Hello, Can some kind person with Mac expertise ... please tell me why I get two sets of different Temp' readings from Hardware Monitor and iStat ?
For the same CPUs at the same time (generally : CPU B reads 2 Degrees C lower than CPU A)
My CPUs average when my G5 is :
Idle / light work load : 42.2 degrees C with Hardware Monitor
Idle / light work load : 47.2 degrees C with iStat
Working Heavy work load : 58.6 degrees C with Hardware Monitor
Working Heavy work load : 64.0 degrees C with iStat
My Mac interior is kept dust free & the tower is kept covered when shut down, (as its only in use for two hours per evening each day).
Which of the readings may be correct : Hardware Monitor or iStat ?
Is it possible to calibrate Hardware Monitor or iStat ?
Many thanks in advance & a lovely shiny green star awaits ...

Many thanks for your reply & Mac expertise
I always have the Activity Monitor CPU open ..
I am fascinated by the way the CPUs switch on heavy workloads .... when one CPU hits a top temp of 64 degrees C it seems to switch over to the other CPU. when the temp of the first CPU immediately drops it cuts in again !
... I am glad to hear its running rather cool (as its up on its very own desk).
I shall always go by the higher readings then !
Many thanks again

CPU speed up and down in Hardware Monitor...is this normal?

Just downloaded the newest version of Hardware Monitor, and the CPU graph is bouncing constantly between 2000 and 2667 mHz. Is this normal?
None of the temperatures shown seem abnormal...CPU cores are all between 30 and 33 degrees C, the stock 512mb RAM modules are the hottest things at 53-55C.

Basically the Core 2 series processors do tend to save a considerable amount of wattage by simple stepping down a little. I have to say that it's quite remarkable given it's only a 667MHz clock speed drop rather than the usual halving to get the same power savings.

Unusual temperature with CPUID Hardware monitor.

I have a NF980-G65 board with a phenom 2 955BE processor and all is well only in CPUID hardware monitor I have three temps
Temperature 0    43°C (109°F) [0x2B] (TMPIN0)
   Temperature 1   87°C (188°F) [0x57] (TMPIN1)
   Temperature 2   37°C (98°F) [0x25] (TMPIN2)
None are the same with the GPU or CPU temps.
Where do these readings came from and the middle one which is pretty big, need I worry about or forget it?

in bios i have a CPU temp of 45ºC which it is close to the first temp in cpuid hardware monitor and another system temp of 38º which can be the third one . But the one that had me asking in the first time is the middle one the one that's so big.
Case ambient temperature is 30ºC

P6N Sli Platinum front audio panel and CPU temp voltage issues

Hi All,
I got my P6N Sli Platinum yesterday, build up my computer without any major issues. However I have noticed that my audio front panel does not work. It could not detect my microphone when i plug it into front auido panel, it works fine for the rear auido panel though.
Another issues is I highly doubt the accuracy of CPU temp sensor. Msi 's software monitor reports my CPU temp is around 19-20 degree, I know that's too good to be true even I am using a water cooling system. Btw my cpu is E6600. Anyone else has the similar issues?
The third, I notice my CPU voltage is bouncing between 1.1 to 1.24 in CPU-z. And the multiplier is changing from 6 to 9, frequency is changing from 1.6g to 2.4g. I only see this in CPU-z. Msi 's own software reports CPU running at 2.4g though. Is this cpuz issue or something else?
Finally, any tips to max the overclock potential of this board? I have overclocked to 3.1g but there are some crashes. Going higher the board just won't boot up. I read a review on anandtech.com says 1.22 bios is good for oc. Where can i download that? I only found 1.1 bios on official site.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Cheers

C2D-CPUs have a digital internal sensor to monitor CPU Core temperatures. Have a look at those with Core Temp ( http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/ ). This Tool reads the temperature data directly from the register of your CPU. There is nothing wrong with the sensor. It is rather the MSI tool that does not read the data it provides correctly.

There is no issue. What CPU-Z allows you to see there is the C1E-feature of your CPU at work. When there is nothing to do your processor will automatically reduce Core Voltages and frequency to save power and keep temperatures down. As soon as the work load increases the multiplier is set back to x9 and core voltages increase dynamically. It is meant to be a good thing.
I have overclocked my system a little and I like that the C1E feature is still working at this speed setting CPU frequency to 2GHz and core voltage to 1.144v when my system is idle.
If you have problems with this feature you can turn it off in BIOS. The option is labeled as "C1E Support" and might be hidden somewhere. You may be able to hit "F4" to unhide it.
The MSI utilities are not the best tools to monitor your system. CPU-Z, Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Memset, Rightmark Memory Analyzer for example do a far better job.

2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU TEMP 90c Too high?

Hi I have a mac mini (mid 2011) spec:
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
22" + 17" monitors
and my CPU temp is around the 85c to 90c degree. Is this normal? Currently just surfing the net, and i think its making my mouse loss connections sometimes.
thanks for your help guys,

If you are in fact only surfing web and don't have a myriad
of background apps running, then 85 to 90C is in fact to
hot.
I have a new Mac Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt
Display and have been surfing for a couple of hours and
have a CPU temp of 47C and fan at ~2300 RPM.
(Note: room temp is 21C)
If your Mini is running that hot, the fans should be roaring!
What is your fan speed?
BTW, the only time I hit temps like that is when I am using
Handbrake to do video conversions, which will max out all
cores available. The fan gets up to ~4500-4800 RPM.
The only time the Mini should get that hot is if you have
something running that will max out CPU usage. Check
activity monitor to see if there is some process that is
"running away" and forcing CPU to max out.
If the fan is not working properly, you may need to do
an SMC reset. If it is not working at all, get it fixed.
So, in conclusion, light CPU usage should not make the
Mini that hot!

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.

990FXA-GD65 Temps-Hardware Monitor or????MSI heatsink super hot???

So I ran threw a post same board and using Hardware Monitor...
Trying to figure out the tmps of hardware monitor--and this is what I got.....
TMPIN0 is my CPU Temp
TMPIN1 is my Mosfet
TMPIN2 is my MB or Chipset
Here is my issues---I figured the TMPIN0 is MOSFET temp, But I am not sure if it is....Right now at idle mine is around 57c.....so I decided to feel around in my case...I touch the heatsink that say Millitary class...and it is warm to the touch....I figured this was where the mosfet is....But I also felt the heatsink That says MSI...and boy is that hot...matching the temp of 57c....I know that if I put my pc under stress this will probably climb....So the 57c is coming from there.....I have a Great case-with plenty of cooling...so just wondering--are these suppose to get hot? and how hot is to hot? Do I have a defective board? I have built tons of computers-but this is the first time-I have ever payed any attention to this?
any help?????
so looking at the hardware monitor thing...
TMPIN0 is the CPU temp
TMPin1 is the 990FX chip temp
TMPIN2 is the SB950 temp
My 990FX chip with the MSI label is the hot 58c.....
Update---In performance tab--if I put it on Balanced-meaning C/q will downclock the cpu when not in use-or like speedstep....It runs 48c--But if I tick high performance-running around 3.9ghz average--it hits 58c.....does the board need time for the heatsinks thermal grease to break in? is that what they use underneath? I have ran this pc for about a total of 4-5 hours not counting the 2 hours for installing Windows???
Update again------I did a quick google search....990FX NB temps...and mine is not that far off from what a lot of other people are getting. I guess the FX990 NB chip tends to run warm. They were getting up to 80c on load. This just don't seem right...I have owned computers in the past with NB-getting around 72c...but that was an old amd.. I would like to hear what your NB is or what you guys consider stock temps.
I am sure I am talking about the righ thing-still a newbie here....But the heatsink right below the cpu...it is the only thing in my computer hot to the touch-so I assume this is what is giving me those temps.

here is the link again...
http://support.amd.com/us/ChipsetMotherboard_TechDocs/48691.pdf
This has the thermal limits-you guys are talking about....Believe it or not--With the addition of that antec spot cooler...Your temps will drop by half. I really think that this is a design flaw...Or MSI should offer some sort of Cooler or fan that fits this. With all the reading I did on this--MSI is not the only company with issues like this. Every board that has the 990fx...is having the same temp issues...This just runs warm and the only solution---Reapply thermal grease"temp fix" or buy a spot cooler..9$ to 15$ and you never have to worry again...
I think reapplying thermal grease will not help..maybe a few degree's...But it will get warm again...You either need a air cooler--so the heatsinks get air...or add a fan. My spot cooler sits right in front of the heatsinks...
There are many many posts on the fx990....and MSI is not the only board with this issue...I believe I even found a post where a guy was asking for everybodys temps..No matter the board...I seen temps there upwards of 100C....80c is far from the 100c mark this guy had and he was running fine...
http://www.overclock.net/t/1161772/what-are-your-990fx-northbridge-temps
Hope this helps and feel free to ask me about my temps...I have the PC sitting here and running Great....

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!

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?

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.

Satellite M50-182: Computer Hardware Control - can't see CPU temp

Hello,
I have M50-182 Satellite.
I have installed the Computer Hardware Control 1.10 Beta 02.
I can't see my CPU Temp.
Can anybody help me.
Thanks

I don't know the program you describe but you could perhaps download the last free version of the Everest Home Edition analytical tool from OldVersion.com
When you run it look under Computer/Sensor. It will show you your CPU temps and then you will at least know if it is the program or the sensor which is not working properly.

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.

Mac Pro 2.66 (2006) CPU Temps

It's been a while since I took a look at the my temps and what not using Hardware Monitor but the other day I reached behind my Mac Pro... it seemed to me that it was awfully warm... so it peeked my curiosity...
Today I checked and my CPU temps are all around 135F... as I said, it's been a while since I looked but I seem to remember them being sub-100F at idle...
Am I not remembering correctly?
Thoughts?
Thanks!

See if installing SmcFanControl 2.2+ to create profiles and change default fan speed works, changes the fans.
Rather than wait for the system to heat up, switch to a higher rpm profile for that purpose, say 900-1000 rpm is still just barely audible but moves much more air and cooling. 1200-1500 for high.
Once the fans kick in, or cpus are under a work load, it can end up being cooler than it was.
The new 2009s with HT can be forced to use more power, create more heat. For 2006, the big issue is/was the ATI X1900 and clogging with dust and overheating, which needs to be pulled and cleaned every 3 months.
