How to display CPU temp in taffybar?

I am using xmonad with taffybar.
Recently I found out that I can find out the CPU temperature from taffybar like this:
import System.Information.CPU2
cpuTemp = getCPUTemp ["cpu0"]
However, I cannot find out a widget to display this quantity.
Do someone know such a widget?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi Ranganath,
Thanks for your time.
And thank you very much for the reply.
Both the function modules are helpful.
But can u also help me in getting the data of FileSys from ST06.
Thankyou,

How is your cpu temp?

Hi, I just bought a new MacBook in HongKong, with 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo 2 CPU and 2G mem. It works fine.
But when I use iStat to monitor the temp. of CPU, it's at least 55-60C. If I use macports to install something and when some package is being compiled, the temp. reached 82C...
I really worry about it. how about yours?

while it may seem hot, i think that maximum temperature for mobile core duo is 100°,if your peak are at 80° you are okay I guess.

How to display CPU load?

I need to trace the actual CPU load on a Solaris O.S. Is there a system call that solves this need in C language?

try mpstat. to gather a 5-second collection, use "mpstat 5". check man pages for more info.

What's the deal with my cpu temp! I need a HSF!

I have an MS-6734 (KM4M-L) with the stock HSF & 2500+ barton cpu. corecenter (the new version 1.5.8.0) reports (running nothing but IE) my cpu temp at 57C. (not overlocked.) I had to reseat the cpu to make this board POST when I received it, and it had the typical cheap pink thermal pad that once i removed the HSF may have taken most of its effectiveness away? i keep reading how people's cpu temps are in the 30's and it blows me away... my wife has an athlon 1.2ghz on an msi ms-6340 that also lacks any real paste and her temps show idle 53-55C as well. Do I just need some good thermal past (like arctic silver?) to bring them down in the 40's? I have my finger on the buy button on newegg for the paste but am also looking for a good HSF for my 2500+. With this current mobo I am not able to overclock it (no settings in bios and corecenter locks it because i'm using onboard video) but i do play lots of games, where my cpu temp currently gets into the mid 60's.
Anyone with this mobo know if the Thermalright slk800 will fit, i'm also in a small case with the psu about an inch (25mm) from my stock hsf, i've read that some people have issues with fitment with the SLK series contacting caps on the mobo, but their website shows it to be compatible with all motherboards. I'm also considering the Tt volcano 9 since it's cheap and i'm 99% sure it will fit. Any other ideas would be good, i've read the Vantec Aero is good too, but some people had issues with the vibration. I just don't want to order up a fancy new hsf and have it not fit in my cramped case and matx mobo!
thanks for any advice

hi
i am having a problem with a MSI KM4M-L with Athlon Xp 2200+ processor,
the problem is the system shutsdown while working on the pc, this problem is occuring in 2 same configuration pcs now-a-days///
when i tried to check the temperature in the BIOS , i got the problem is in the Temperature part,
as the CPU temp varies from 68 to 70 degrees,
and the CPU Fan speed is 3245 RPM
the HSF is the original one which came with the processor,
what should i do to decrease the temperature ?
what should be the CPU fan speed ?
and any other setting which i should watch ?
please help..

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!

How to reduce from 5º to 8ºC CPU Temp on your MSI K7N2 Delta!

I've installed this tweak last week and it is working very stable since then. It decreased my Idle CPU Temp from 42º to 36º and Overload from 54º to 48º:
Just go: http://forums.pcper.com/showindex.php?t=280137
AMD ATHLON XP 2600+ 12.5x333mhz 1.65V ~OC 11.5x400mhz 1.55V
Thermaltake Volcano 9
MSI K7N2 Delta L
MSI GF4 4200-8X graphics Card
160GB Maxtor HDD 7200rpm
768MB Samsung DDR3200
LG 48x24x48x/16x CDROM/DVD Reader
Dual Fan 450W Troni Power Suppy

It seems that the link to the tweak is broken, I've found another one:
http://ftp://ftp.vector.co.jp/pack/win95/hardware/other/wpcre14.exe
This is what the article say:
Just tried it for the first time..It works GREAT
My idle temps are now 26c, down from 34c. That's 8C. I can have Winamp, IE and messenger running and CPU temps don't get by 29c. Once i fire up, SETI though...I get back my regular Load temps at 39c.
Some of you probably know about it, already....here's for thousand others that don't.
This tweak can drop your idle CPU temps down as much as 8c, maybe more...depending on your system.
First thing you need to do is download WPCRSET & WPCREDIT.
They're both in this zip.
- Extract to a directory.
- Run "INSTDD.EXE". Click Install. When done, you will be prompted for restart. Hit Yes! -
- Then go back to the folder with extracted files, and open "WPCREDIT.EXE"
- A ms-dos like window will pop-up. Move the blinking block (with arrow keys or your mouse pointer) until it says Offset 6F at the buttom. Now, click on the two digit number where it says "HEX", and change it to 1F (The Hex for Offset 6F would have previously been 9F, 8F or something else). Hit Set.
Your idle temps should now start falling.
You would have to do this hack/tweak everytime you rebooted your computer if it wasn't for WPCRSET.
- Go to directory and run "WPCRSET.EXE"
- Look at the top of the window: Enable select "Start" and make sure Device is on "enable"
- Then click Add. Enter 6F for the register, and 1F for the data
- Click Ok and you'll be prompted to restart.
Once, you rebooted, open WCREDIT again and see if the 6F register is still on 1F. If it is, then that's it..You're all done.
Here's a Screenie of how it should be:
This only brings your idle temps down, and not your full load temps
It should work for all nforce2s, and use at your own risk
Check your nf7-s for CPU Disconnect. Most other nforce2 motherboards do not have this feature in the bios...so this tweak might prove useful.
READ THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE TRYING THIS!
If you run a Distributed Computing project...then obviously this would be of no use to you

It activates the C1 (and maybe the C2) function Athlon XP CPU's support. Most mainboard brands have this feature as an option in the bios you can enable and disable. I just found out that EPoX doesn't have that feature. So what you're doing is just using a direct reg tweak to activate it. It's not like you're forcing anything, the Athlon XP chips are made to support this feature so it shouldn't do any damage.
When the CPU is idle the mainboard will send a command to the CPU that will cause a part of the CPU to be deactivated (and therefore not produce any heat). That's why this tweak only works on the idle temp and doesn't change anything on the load temp. Ofcourse as soon as the CPU power is needed the deactivated part will become active again, so it should have any influence on the performance of the CPU.
Strangely, my full load temp has decreased 6º C degrees too.

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.

"Easy" way to lower MEGA 180 CPU Temp

Let me start off by saying I haven't done this yet but I think it would work. I built a Mega 180 based machine for a customer and have had nothing but problems with it. I got a call from her last night to tell me that the CPU temp on the display is in the 70 C range and she is getting nervous about it (frankly, so am I). I'm picking up the PC from her in a few days to see if I can lower the CPU temp any. Here's what I'm thinking of doing:
1) Since I already lapped the bottom of the heatsink and used Artic Silver thermal grease, there's nothing else I can do in that area. It's already optimal.
2) The heatsink is 100% copper with lots of cooling fins. There isn't a better thermal material for a heatsink, within reason. Aluminum is no good. Basically, the design of the heatsink is good, but not perfect. First, why they would design the sink to suck hot air off of the video card and blow it through the fins is beyond me. Naturally, the CPU will never be cooler than the air that's being used to cool it. The heat sink needs fresh, cool air.
3) To provide the heatsink with fresh cool air I plan on first, turing the big fan on the sink around so it blows out, not in. Second, I plan on replacing the little fan with a bigger fan and position it so it blows in, not out. Then I plan on making a short duct that attaches over the fan on the right (with the front of the PC facing you) and extend the duct a few inches to the right so it is less than an inch from the side of the case. Lastly, I plan on using some lexan and making a very small deflector to put on the heatsink's exhaust fan. It will be about 1/2 inch wide and as long as the fan (80mm?). It will be tilted at a 45 degree angle. The deflector will channel the hot air away from the video card and towards the front left side of the case. This will avoid trading one heat problem (CPU) for another (video card).
If all goes well, a drop of 10 C under maximum load should be achieved. I'll let you know how this turns out.
I may also try the following:
1) Buy some RAM heat sinks and using thermal glue, glue them to the hard drive.
2) Position a 40mm fan so it blows on the heat sinks on the hard drive.
3) Position another 40mm fan so it blows across the chipset's heat sink.

god damn thats a great idea, why didnt I think of that
I lapped my heatsink last weekend, the hardware store where i got my sand paper didnt have any grid over 600 so I had to settle with that. But I'm still pleased with the results. I figured that that plus some some Artic Silver 5 would get me a bit on my way.
I would have documented it with my camera if the batteries just wasnt out :/
At the same time I installed a "silent" 15db@1500rpm 80x80mm Everflow fan on the left side of the case (when facing the front) that blows the air in. All of these efforts improved the temperature just a bit. The noise increased a bit but it isnt all that much trouble consithering I've spent my last couple of months with my ears next to a server that has the lovely sound level of around 60db (note: no case fans on the server at all)
As I recall the idle temperature used to be over 60c and now it sometimes drops below 50c. But most of the times its around 53-55c (all of this is at around 25c ambient temperature). But the heat problem while gaming is still a huge problem. When it hits around 70 the computer crashes.
But before my efforts to do something about it, it would die within 10min of high load. Now it can take up to about an hour (depending on how the ambient temperature is).
Next up I think I'm gonna try out your idea. Switch the fans, and maybe even install another Everflow fan having 4 fans totaly pulling the air through the case (but from right to left this time :P)
why call it MSI Entertainment Gaming Applicance if you cant entertain yourself by gaming on it ? =P

Thanks to some further input from the guys over at Archbang and some further research I found the solution (a) to remove the weird 'A' character;
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ut-solved/
So, in conky I had to change;
override_utf8_locale no
to
override_utf8_locale yes
And (b) just for reference, I now have two options for cpu temp;
CPU temp option1:$alignr${hwmon 4 temp 1}°C
CPU temp option2:$alignr${execi 10 sensors | grep ^temp1 | tail -n 1 |awk '{print $2}'}
Thanks for all the help everybody.

Msi Z68 GD80 (G3) strange Cpu Temp.reading

Hello all,this is my first post here.
I just purchased an Msi Z68 GD80(G3) and I think I have strange cpu temp. reading as seen in the Hw monitor.My i5 2500k idle/load CPU temp. is equal or higher than core temps which is strange for an intel cpu,as an intel user for years I believe it should be 10-12C lower than core temps.(my previous mobo was giga p67 ud5 and never had this issue).Double checked my cpu cooler-spire thermax 2-no problems.Updated to last bios-no change-Any recommendations/solutions welcomed here.
Rest of my system as follows:
Asus gtx560
4*2 gb gskill ddr3 ram
1tb samsung hd
high power 650w power supply

Have you checked what the CPU temp shows in BIOS just after start up ? How does that compare with the HW temp.
HW Monitor's temp interpretation may just not be calibrated for the specific Fintek chip used on your MB. Maybe you want to check with the HW monitor home site as well.
How do the temps compare with whats read/displayed in Speedfan, Real Temp or Core Temp ?
If they are all similar, then it could just be a badly calibrated sensor on the board as well.
Do some comparative testing and see if there are any differences at all.
Also check with MSI technical to see if they are aware of a general tendency with regards to this, or whether a BIOS revision may have addressed such an issue. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Just recheck your heatsink seating again and maybe even reseat the CPU and do a full socket pin inspection at the same time.

Possible fix for CPU temp problem found.

Well, one day I decided to take the heatsink off of the nForce3 chip and put some good ol' Arctic Silver thermal compound on there. I figured it might help with overclocking and whatnot. When I took it off, look what I found(!):
Imagine my surprise! Why did they even bother? Ridiculous. After removing their mistake, I put some Arctic Silver on there and re-attached the MSI heatsink (someday I'll probably buy a much better one for it). I've noticed after a couple of days (it takes a little while for the thermal compound to set in) that the CPU temp doesn't appear to fluctuate wildly anymore. Before I was getting crazy jumps from 45C to 65C, but now it hovers around 45C-47C idle and a little over 50C stressed. I've also noticed that my overclocks are a bit more stable now too. For those of you wondering, I'm using BIOS v1.1 at the moment (haven't tried v1.42 yet).
Can anyone confirm these findings? Maybe something else I did fixed my CPU temp issue (I do fiddle with the BIOS quite a bit). My guess is that the nForce3 has a part in determining/reporting the CPU temperature.
I hope this actually is a fix for some of you out there, but don't get your hopes up too high until at least one other person can confirm my theory.

It's very easy to remove the MSI plate. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers pinch the fins on the heat sink on one side together (one at the top, one at the bottom). You don't have to do it too much and be careful. This provides enough slack for the plate to drop out with some slight assistance. Well, that's how I did mine.
I then attached a 40mm fan by screwing into the gaps between the two fins. Only on the one side mind (so 2 screws in total). It holds the fan fine, no rattling.
I have some Artic Silver adhesive and I did consider leaving the MSI plate in place and fixing the fan to it. But I wasn't sure how secure it would be. Plus the plate rattles already, imagine how it would behave with a fan stuck to it.
Unfortunately, I forgot to make a note of the NB temperature before I did it. And I can't for the life of me remember what it was. So I can't say, for sure, how it has effected the temperature. I'm sure it has though.
I suppose it's easy enough to disconnect the fan to find out. I might try that later...
Running at 230x10 (stock = 200x10), MBM reports:
Case = 37C
CPU = 35C
Sensor 3 = 49C
The sensors are labelled by MBM, so I am assuming they respond to the correct items, ie the CPU temp is actually the CPU temp.
This is after a hour or so with Azureus running, mIRC open, a couple of IE windows and SETI running at ~97% CPU
When I take the side off to disconnect the fan again, I will take a picture.

CPU Temp spike to 120c for no apparent reason. Help!

Hi,
I've got a 2.5 dual G5 4gb ram and yesterday I noticed the fans were running constantly for about 5 min. I had Photoshop and Illustrator running so I didn't think much of it (cpus were running at about 60% in activity monitor). Next thing I know I get a black screen that went away after I moved my mouse (It did this twice). I quickly shut down the programs and all was well. I did a bit of research and figured out that this is due to the cpu's overheating and it's putting the system into sleep mode. It's never done this before, and I work on these programs daily.
Well, I decided to download a temperature monitor today so I could keep an eye on what the temps are. I was listening to a podcast a that was approx. 30 min long (no other software running but Firefox, activity monitor, and the ). CPU temps were ok (around 65-80c), but suddenly the fans started screaming and the screen went black. When I got it to come on (only got it to come on for a few secs) I noticed the temps on both cpu's were running at over 120c. I shut down Safari and every program I could think of, but the temp remained high. I was afraid of frying my cpus' so I shut it down via the apple menu. The monitor went black, but the fans continued screaming so I held down the power button.
Now when I try to start it up I get the normal ding, but a black screen. When I look through the mesh on the front I see two red lights (I'm guessing where the cpus are). Please help me determine what the cause of this is! I'm a designer and this is my only source of income. Thanks in advance!!!!

Well, I've taken it in to my local Mac repair shop. I'm wondering if the coolant is coming from my power supply (which is under warranty and was replaced 2 months ago), or if it's a separate component. I know this is a known issue with the liquid cooled G5s, and I hope that whatever is wrong will be fixed!!
When I was carrying it out to my car to transport today the coolant leaked all over my floor. I had both my dogs indoors and I didn't notice the trail of liquid till I got back (almost an hour later). I really hope neither of them licked up any of it! Between this and the potential fire hazard I'm almost starting to question on whether or not I even want it fixed. I'm literally afraid of my computer..lol.
I should be hearing back from the repair shop tomorrow. Fingers crossed this leak didn't fry my cpus and logic board. At temps like that I don't see how it couldn't!
Thanks to all of you for your help!
