M40x-184 temp monitoring and expres card

hallo
i am a fresh toshiba user and was wondering is there a way to monitor the temp of the cpu or the videocard for this model
in some brochures it sais it should have an infrared device but it doesn't is there a way to enable it or ....
and i see an express card slot but the plastic blocking the entrance can't be removed why is this how can i enable it?

Hello lio
Welcome in the Toshiba user family. ;) If you search settings to set the CPU speed please check the Toshiba Power Saver utility. You can find it in Control Panel. If your unit is connected to power supply mark the Full Power profile and on the right side check the settings in Basic setup tab. There you can find some of useful settings.
I have checked that your unit has no IrDA but it is possible that some of notebooks from M40x series have a one (M40x-xxx) but I have no precise info about that.
You are right about express card slot. I have talked with a friend of mine who told me that this is just planed to be built and it can be that Toshiba has prepared the notebook case for future handling.
I wish you a lot of fun with your new toy!

Different readings between RivaTuner CPU Temp monitor and Bios Temp monitor

I just installed the RivaTuner temp plugin and it is reporting a core temp of 50C, CPU0 and CPU1 at 65C-66C. If I restart the PC and go to the BIOS the temp is being reported as 43C with a system temp of 42C. At most I would guess that 30 secs have elapsed since I viewed the temp in RivaTuner before checking the BIOS. Is this normal? Why the difference? Are my temps too high?

I will try to monitor the temperature with the chassis open tonight. I feel like there is a lot of blockage in there, but I don't know exactly how to tackle it. The PSU alone has a ton of wires in there and they are criss-crossing everywhere. I tried to zip tie them together as neatly as possible, but there is just a lot of crap in the middle of the case. I also have 3 HDD so that pretty much blocks the entire front fan. I could try using the top and bottom most mounting slots so that there is some air passage between 2 HDDs. The graphics card is also mounted in the top most PCIe slot. I could move that to the bottom one which should provide a better air channel. Other than that there isn't really much more that I can see doing. The case is a Tsunami Dream with the solid side. I could try modifying the side panel so that I can install another case fan. It currently has 2x 120mm fans, one rear and one front. I don't know what the CFMs are on them so I don't know if it is worth swapping them out for more powerful ones. Thanks for your help. I will run some more tests tonight. I did adjust the ratio in the bios so that I could run the RAM at 800mhz and I upped the RAM voltage to the 2.1v that Corsair recommended for it. Could those be affecting the temperature that much? Should I try restoring the RAM settings to factory defaults before trying again? Other than that I have done not other BIOS mods other than what was necessary for RAID.

Cintiqs, Monitors, and Video card problems.

Hi all,
Alright so first of all. I have a 2008 MacPro 3,1 QuadCore.
I'm an animator so I have a duel monitor setup. They're both pretty crappy but run really nicely with my graphics card. I currently have just one ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB video card. It has three outputs, two mini display ports and one DVI-I port. So I always have an extra output.
Alright now that I've set the scene, one MacPro, two monitors. Enter one Cintiq. I finally pulled the trigger on getting a Cintiq. I know! Its awesome, I love it.
It works great I couldn't ask more from the machine.
Just one problem. Even though I have three video outputs, I'm not able to connect all three (2 monitors 1 cinitq) all at once. Its super annoying to have to swith out the cords everytime I want to do anything with the cintiq. I've had 3 monitors plugged in at the same time so I know its not a faulty card.
I would love to be able to have my cinitq and the other 2 monitors all running at once. From what I've read online it looks like I'll have to get a second graphics card that I can connect the cintiq into.
Any recomendations on a new card? is there any way I can avoid paying the extra $150 for a new one?
Another thought on that. Is it even possible to connect two different types of video cards into the same machine? I'm assuming its just by brand so the drivers don't get mixed up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

No need for a different video card, just some different plumbing.
In order to get all three ports going, you need active adapters on the mini display ports. The Apple part most of us have is passive.
I was having the same problem you discribe except my "CinTiq" was a HD color grading monitor for my post-production work. I got a pair of these: Accell B087B-006B UltraAV Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Single-Link Active Adapter ATI Certified (Black) and my problems were over.
Your CinTiq may have additional requirements, so check it all out, but I think this'll get the job done.
good luck

P6N SLI Platinum - multiple monitors and vid cards

I want to run 4 monitors using 2 video cards. I've been doing this for several years now but this is my first
upgrade to pci express. Right now I have a geforce 8800gts in the first -16 slot and a geforce 7300gs in the second slot. I finally got it working but I am wondering if the performance of the 8800gts will be reduced in this config. It took me several hours of before I figured out that the switch card has to be in the SLI position to enable the second slot. (Wasnt trying to setup SLI so I naturally thought....)
If I cant run the 8800 gts at full performance in this config is it possible to use a regular PCI video card as the second card?

Thanks for the quick response
So, both slots will be running at x8? Is that the only performance hit? I like to play fairly fast games sometimes(1 monitor) which is why I bought the 8800gts. The rest of the time I use the other monitors for monitoring the markets and general computing.

Video Monitor and Graphics Card- Your using and happy with!

Wondering what the group is using for LCD monitor/Graphics card pairing for your MacPro. Interested on those above the 27" Apple Display
thx

Okay, I'll bite. I have a Dell 30" 3007WFP LCD with an Acer 22" LCD on each side. The three monitors run off a ATI Radeon HD 5770. The Dell 30" runs off the bigger DVI port and the two Acers run off mini DVI ports.
I had to buy two ACTIVE mini DVI to DVI adapters to make them work. The regular adapters won't work with three monitors.
They all play happy together.

Why can't I download an HD movie even when my monitor and video card both support HD?

This is royally !@#$%ing me off. I've spent the past hour and a half of my free time trying to download Prometheus (HD), and iTunes won't let me download the HD version, and keeps downloading the SD version when my computer clearly supports HD. My perception of Apple is quickly diminishing. First their stock goes down, and now the stuff that I actually use doesn't work...

Problems connecting 1 monitor and 1 TV to 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card.

I recently purchased an Hp h8-1360t computer with a 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card and an Hp 2711 LED monitor. I am having problems connecting both the monitor (dvi) and a 50" Sony LCD TV (hdmi) with a 50' hdmi cable. When starting the computer, once the initial Win 7 boot up is finished, the monitor screen goes blank, except for the mouse pointer. When I turn on the tv and select the correct input source a normal Win 7 screen with icons appears on the tv. Only the wallpaper picture displays on the monitor and no icons. If play a dvd movie it will only show up on the tv with the sound coming from the speakers attached to the computer.
I would like to retain control of the computer using the monitor. I tried to set the monitor up as the primary display source using the monitor configuration menu,but it won't allow me to save the dvi connection as the primary display source. The documentation that came with the computer and what I was able to find on the Hp site is lacking....to say the least.
Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

First I would disconnect the TV HDMI cable from the computer. That should return the PC screen to normal. May have to reboot to get normal. Then reconnect the TV HDMI and go into the screen setup routine, paying attention to which screen is supposed to display what information.

Monitor and card for use with FC, AE and DVDSP

Hi everyone
Since a couple of months I'm getting more and more assignments to create motion graphics for commercials, billboards and DVD's. So far I'll got along quite well with my usual equipment (G5 2x2ghz, dual monitors, 2,5gb RAM and a GeForce FX 5200 graphic card).
But so far I've had to check the final outcome on a friends reference monitor and nowadays I simple don't have the time (or energy) to do that.
But when I'm looking at all the possible equipment to buy I get confused. What I really need is a way to see my stuff from After Effects mainly on a monitor so I can see how it behaves on a PAL-screen.
Anybody out there that can help me?

Okay, First you've got to tell us the format you're working in. DV, Uncompressed, HD? Then we can give you some direction for the kind of interface you'll need to view your material. If you're working in DV, Aftereffects will allow you to view via firewire. Not sure how it compares to looking at it from fcp via firewire. It may just be a proxy and not give you an accurate view.

Best temp monitor program for K8N and 6800GT?

I'm looking for a temp monitoring program that will display the following temps:
CPU
Chipset (system)
GPU
Core Center is ok but it doesn't allow for precise history and it doesn't display GPU temp.

The only thing I can suggest is a hardware thermistor and display, I have a GMC X-21 case which has a small temperature display on the font, and you can place the thermistor anywhere you like. I have it in between 2 fins on my CPU heatsink and it reads the temperature exactly the same as corecentre.

How can I best monitor and/or control Temp & Fans

I want to be able to monitor all temperature sensors (an application which tells me when things are too hot, not just gives me teperature numbers).
I want to be able to monitor and tweek the fans.
Actually software that monitors all the sensors would be perfect.
I don't mind if there needs to be several seperate applications or one that does many things.

No, you really don't want to do that. Monitoring temperatures is fine, and you can do that with one of the tools mentioned here:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/11/display-cpu-temperature-in-the-mac-os-x-menu-bar/
However, you should never tweak the fans to try to control temperatures! You do not know the hardware better than Apple's engineers, and they've designed the fans to work the way they do for a reason. If your computer overheats, there is a hardware problem somewhere, and rather than cover it up by messing with the fans (and possibly doing further damage by allowing the problem to persist), you should get it fixed.

Temp monitoring for 5700 ultra

ok..1st off..i dont have a msi vid card..i have a PnY..fx5700 ultra...card runs fine..no issues(cept for an occational..."power supply not plugged in")..but my question is this..in the Nvidia card properties area..theres a spot that monitors my card core temp..and its set at 129 celceus...which is not possible...my case would be on fire if it ever got that hot..what i want to know is there any way to manually set the temp warning to a setting of my choosing..i mailed pny about it..and believe it or not..there answer was"make sure your fans plugged in"lol
i sat in utter amazement at the respone they gave me

ok...thx alot...im sure they know better then i do...it just seemed to me that was a bit high...id like the option of setting it to a temp of my own..but i guess its not possible...and i wanted to return the card to the store i bought it from..but in a rare case(i always put comp part reciept in the box it came from) i lost it ..i can return it through pny...but i dont wanna deal with the hassle right now..if it fails completely...then ill return it and put my ti4400 back in..once again..thank you

Help enabling temp monitor on VGA

i have an MSI G4TI4200 working perfectly for sometime overclocked to 310/640.not bad.....after taking off the heatsink on the VGA i found a temp diode next to the GPU so i wandered why it never worked.........any way i want to know how to enabled the temp monitor on my VGA so i can see it on my nvidia applet.......can i use that trick fo G6600 by altering the bios using the HEX editor and reflashing......i mean does that tirck work for all nvidia card.........any idea are appreciated thnx
P4 2.6C OC to 3.2

i am using the 71.84 the latest one from Nvidia website...........but nothing shows in the tab plus i have the latest coolbits registry ..........that didnt help ether.........one could this mean.....that the temp diode on the VGA is just for decoration .........or it doesnt work. I think it could be a Bios problem.....my Bios right now is A0 for the VGA maybe i need to flash it. Any ideas of how to do that thnx alot

MSI 6600 GT question...Temp monitor on 6600GT?

I'm about to return my XFX 6600GT because of problems. How is the MSI version of the card? Is the temp monitor available under Nvidia properties?

Just my copy to another reply:
I have the same card but use nVidia drivers to give me a temp read on the GPU. I have loaded from scratch and like the nVidia settings screens because they give you more options. Below is my overclock with MSI drivers and nVidia drivers. The overclock is about the same so it depends on your use of the card...automated with MSI & DOT, manual with nVidia. My GPU Temp read is around 47c to 48c.
K8N SLI - winni 3000+ oc 220x3=660 HTT
MSI 6600GT x1 oc 560/1.12 Ghz = nVidia Drivers only
Corsair value RAM 512x2 oc 200:200 2.5,3,3,7 prime95 stable 2.7v 220 memspd
3DMark05 = 3949 PCMark04 = 4052
K8N SLI - winni 3000+ oc 218x3=654 HTT (MSI level 5 maxed DOT) with CnC enabled
MSI 6600GT x1 oc 555/1.11 Ghz = MSI Drivers only (MSI level 6 maxed DOT)
Corsair value RAM 512x2 oc 200:200 2.5,3,3,7 prime95 stable 2.7v 218 memspd
3DMark05 = 3833 PCMark04 = 4023
To get accurate temp reads on your CPU and system and much other stuff, I use Everest (www.lavalys.com) and with quick reboots it seems fairly accurate. My CPU core is usually between 35c and 37c and my system temps are around the same.....................
