Mapping CPU and HD Temperature

I am aware of the Activity Monitor application that comes with the OS but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a widget/app that can not only show me a real time temperature readout of the CPU and HD (I don't care too much about ram) but also allow me to go back and view those readouts over a period of usage (an hour, a day etc.).
Thanks for your time =)

I have been using this widget for a while now.
I only have a question:
which of the following 5 options is most useful in understanding whether the temperature of the mini is within healthy parameters?
Right now the widget compares the CPU A temperature Diode with the Ambient Temp.
Regards
Ambient temperature
CPU A temperature diode
CPU A Heatsink

W701ds CPU and Motherboard temperature problem

Hello Lenovo Community,
I have a w701ds 4323 laptop with nvidia fx2800, an SSD drive and a second 500gb hdd.
I use this laptop for web development and image processing and i kept it on a cooling pad, The CPU and MB temperature has always been like between 70-80 °C, but now i've removed the cooling pad and it goes between 80-90.
This is not normal, so can you guys share your experiences with this.
This is supposed to be a powerful machine with i7 and 16gb RAM, but it doesn't seem so, so far i had the nvidia problem but i think i finally fixed it with disabling powermizer and i'm thinking about disabling the overheat slowdown because it just freezes from time to time.
I'm running windows 7 64 and a linux mint which i barely use. The power settings are for maximum performans, the fans are set to active with no power saving and the bios options for power saving are all disabled.
Please advise.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have W701 built 10/2010 with i7 920XM and 16GB RAM. SSD and 500GB hard drive like yours. I'm also running 128GB SSD in the Ultrabay in place of DVD drive. All USB ports in use, including the eSATA port. When set to highest performance, I often pegged the meter on this machine during Photoshop usage. I was finding temps reaching 85F to 90F frequently (no cooling pad). I chose to open the laptop up and inspect the cooling system. After 3 years, alot of dust and junk had accumulated on both fans (slowing them down) and other various parts of the cooling ducts, etc. Cleaned all that crap out, made it look like new inside.
Running same routines as before, sustained temps above 80F are very rare. In Thinkpad default mode plugged in, average temp is mid-50's. Battery save mode, the sucker idles in the high-40's now. The Nvidia 2800 card also runs about 5F cooler than before.

Arch "eats" cpu and raise temperature

Good morning guys,
I'm on a Arch x86 with gnome.
I'm not a complete linux-noob since I've been using gentoo since 2006.
My problem is that on arch the cpu and gpu temperature are always from 5 to 10 °C higher than Gentoo.
Thanks to arch wiki, I configured cpufreq.
Trying to reproduce Gentoo settings, I installed cpufreqd (from aur, with gentoo's cpufreqd.conf) and configured the nvidia card to downclock when I log in gnome.
What looks weird to me is that if I run:
watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo
There is ALWAYS a core at full throttle. Maybe for just 2 seconds, then it goes back to slowest speed and immediately the other one raise its speed to maximum.
I set the ondemand governor, and cpufreq-info return it set correctly.
When I'm in gnome, there is always the process "gnome-shell" that takes 2-6 % of cpu.
But when I shutdown X, and I am all alone in the shell, the top command shows no processes using too much cpu, even if the strange behaviour of cpu-speed still happens (according to watch).
In gentoo the cores stay to slowest speed for much a longer time.
My conclusion is, the temperature are so high cause the pc never really "relax" due to core strange policy with speed.
In my rc.conf, that's what about modules:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MODULES=(fuse acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_performance cpufreq_powersave)
and about daemons:
DAEMONS=(@hwclock @syslog-ng @crond @dbus @gpm @net-profiles @bluetooth @cpufreq @sensors @acpid @rcpbind @nfs-common @alsa @avahi-daemon @cups @cpufreqd @gdm)
I hope somebody can help me, or maybe just show me the way to fully debug the system.
Thank you very much,
MJ
ps- I hope not to posted in the wrong forum, but the other sections seems not for this kind of problem.

I'm running 2.6.39-ARCH.
Ok for the power regression, but it is correct that my core 2 duo 9400 never stay at 800MHz? Is this kernel suppose to switch back to full power one core at time for just 1-2 seconds? And I am not pretty sure this could be related to high temperature ("higher temperature" is better).
I just did a deeper test: turning off one daemon at time, this strange behavior still continue to happen. Even when "rc.d list" show no active daemon. Looking to the output of "top" and "powertop" give me no info, but maybe just cause my ignorance.
For now, thanks to everyone is trying to help.
MJ
edit:
@ chemicalfan and lukaszan
I am not complaining about performance. Instead, it seems to me that this Arch is quite faster to boot and to use. I think - but I'm not very sure of it - that this fact of compiling software under Gentoo is a bit overestimated. I can agree about the possibilities of certain personalization or just the kernel lightness, but I think that if the arch kernel (or some process I am unable to identify) can't keep my proc at the lowest frequency some problem exists.

What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card?

I have Intel Xeon X5400 series CPUs and a Nvidia graphics card.
It is interesting to monitor the temperatures but only if you know what temps matter...
What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card?
I was not sure if this is the document of choice for the CPU or not. I was not sure I was decifering it correctly either.
http://download.intel.com/design/xeon/datashts/318589.pdf
Any one know what we should be watching for as far as what is too hot?
I have a ThinkStation D10.
Did not see this in the user manual but could have missed it.

I found my specs:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz
You are correct. An E series.
I was so focused on the upgrade to the X5420 that I forgot what the system came with.
So what should I set my sensor high value to on my sensor program that shows up on the panel (taskbar)?
For the E5405 or the X5420?
SIDE NOTE: where can I get 2 E5420s or better cheap?
Not ready to give up my filters just yet. I live in a dust factory!
My girl friend sews really nice bags but creates sewing dust and fuzz.
And well there are natural fibers everywhere...
So other than the the X5492 (150watts), the X5482, X5472, X5470, X5460, X5450 are all 120 watts.
Like the bulk of the X series...
The E5405, E5410, E5450, E5440, E5420, E5430, E5470, E5462, E5472 are all 80 watts.
The L series seems to all be 50 Watts.
For many the other Processors see this:

In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Poor battery life and high temperatures on MacBook Pro Retina 15"

I'm having never-ending problems with poor battery life and high temperatures on a MacBook Pro Retina 15"
I took it in for service and they told me it needed a new logic board and replaced it. When I asked why they were vague about the reasons, they said "it just needed one, it failed some test". I now have the computer back and it runs the same way it always did. I bought this laptop because it was supposedly capable of high end video editing in 1080P (or so Apple's website claims) and also photo editing.
"The processor, graphics, all-flash architecture, memory, and display in the 15-inch MacBook Pro give you unprecedented mobile video editing capabilities. Super-responsive flash storage delivers up to nine streams of 1080p ProRes (HQ) content for multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X,3 while the latest quad-core processors on the 15-inch MacBook Pro decode multiple streams of video, and a powerful GPU renders millions of pixels onto the screen. With flash storage that offers up to four times the performance of a traditional hard drive,1 you can even edit four streams of uncompressed 8-bit 1080p HD video, right from the internal storage on your 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.4"
However, when I'm just browsing the web and emailing it runs quite warm and battery life is quite poor. Sometimes doing those same activities I would say it gets so warm it's almost uncomfortable to have on your lap and the fans are running fast enough to become noticably noisy. I'm also driving only one screen at and a time and I heard that the MacBook Pro can supposedly do three screens.
If actually try to do something like video editing with final cut pro the laptop gets really hot, the fans are on full blast and battery life drops to only an hour or two. I think when I rendered just a 3 or 4 minute clip once I got less than hour of battery life. I will have to time again.
Anyway most people (including the sales guys) are telling me no way this is not normal. When I play with demos in the store browsing the web they are not getting warm or hot to the touch. My friend's 2013 MacBook Air is also NOT getting warm to the touch doing the same activities.
I installed iStat Pro so I could check the temperature and fan speeds. I'm seeing temperatures of 70+ on the GPU, 85+ on the GPU diode and 65+ on the CPU heatsink along with elvated fan speeds above 5K which becomes noticeably noisy. I understand that might be normal for the most processor intensive tasks but it really doesn't seem right for just light web browsing and e-mailing. (I also may have viber and skype open but that shouldn't matter). CPU usage is usually running between 2-10% as this is all happening to.
Furthermore, straight from the specs:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
I am assume "GPU" and "GPU diode" are temp measurements on the discrenete NVIDIA video card, especially since MacBook Airs from the same and newer generatio do not have this reading. Since Apple Claims the graphics "automatically switches" it seems all the harder to believe the GPU is reaching 85+ when in theory it shouldn't even be activated. I mean, shouldn't the INtel HD Graphics 4000 be capable of simple web browsing and e-mailing? Especially with only one screen activated (be it it the internal or an external)?
What should I do here? When I asked the repair guys "OK well what is the normal operating temp range for the various sensors" they said "Sorry Apple doesn't provide that info".

Yes I have.
Just web browsing and basically doing nothing I'm hear a lot of aduible fans, I'm getting 85C+ on GPU diode, 65+ on cpu heatsink. I since installed anohter program that shows me not just the CPU heatsink but the cores and the cores are at 90C+.
Seems like a lot of heat for doing nothing. Not only that but I have these problems with no external monitor while on battery power too.
I don't know what to do. They already replaced the logic board. Others seem to get advertised battery life out of Apple products and not have products that get **** near hot enough to burn you while just web browsing or watching a movie let alone advertised tasks like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.

How to kill Forms Runaway Process using 95% CPU and running for 2 hours.

We had a situation at E-Business Suite customer (using Oracle VM server) where some of Form processes were not being cleared by form timeout settings automatically.
Also when user exits the form session from front end, the linux form process (PID) and DB session did not exit properly, so they got hung.
They were spiking CPU and memory usage and causing e-business suite to perform slowely and ultimately causing VM host to reboot the production VM guest (running on Linux).
We could see the form processes (PIDs) using almost 100% cpu with "top" command and running for a long time.
Also we verified those Form Sessions did not exist in the application itself.
ie. Using from Grid Control -> OAM-> Site Map -> Monitoring (tab) -> "Form Sessions".
It means that we could safely kill that form process from Linux using "kill -9 <PID>" command.
But that required a continuous monitoring and manual DBA intervention as customer is 24x7 customer.
So, I wrote a shell script to do the following;
•     Cron job runs every half an hour 7 days a week which calls this shell script.
•     Shell script runs and tries to find "top two" f60webmx processes (form sessions) using over 95% cpu with 2 minutes interval.
•     If no process is found or CPU% is less than 95%, it exits and does nothing.
•     If top process is found, it searches for its DB session using apps login (with hidden apps password file - /home/applmgr/.pwd).
a.     If DB session is NOT found (which means form process is hung), it kills the process from unix and emails results to <[email protected]>
b.     If DB session is found, it waits for 2 hours so that form process times automatically via form session timeout setting.
It also emails the SQL to check the DB session for that form process.
c.     If DB session is found and it does not timeout after 2 hours,
it kills the process from unix (which in turn kills the DB session). Output is emailed.
This are the files required for this;
1. Cron job which calls the shell script looks like this;
# Kill form runaway process, using over 95% cpu having no DB session or DB session for > 2hrs
00,30 * * * * /home/applmgr/forms_runaway.sh 2>&1
2. SQL that this script calls is /home/applmgr/frm_runaway.sql and looks like;
set head off
set verify off
set feedback off
set pagesize 0
define form_client_PID = &1
select count(*) from v$session s , v$process p, FND_FORM_SESSIONS_V f where S.AUDSID=f.audsid and p.addr=s.paddr and s.process='&form_client_PID';
3. Actual shell script is /home/applmgr/forms_runaway.sh and looks like;

# and Form Session with no DB session or DB session > 2hrs

If you have the same problem with some other unix and DB processes, the script can be easily modified and used.
But use this with thorough testing first (by commenting out <kill -9 $PID1> lines.
Good luck.

Monitor database and CPU and send events

Hi.
I would like to monitor the Oracle instance and the CPU and when something happens I want to send an event(e-mail or SMS). Is this possible using Oracle Enterprise Manager alone? Or do I need a third-party product like "Big brother"(http://www.bb4.com/). I have generated an event in OEM but I can't see where I am supposed to handle the event that it generates.

CPU Proximity Temperature & CPU Die Digital Temperature

Hello,
Can anybody explain for me the why the CPU Die Digital temperature of MacBook Pro Retina Display Early 2013 is showing a value between 80 and 90 deg Celsius. What's the difference between it and the CPU proximity ?
I'm using iStat Menus 5.03 and I'm seeing that the Digital value is always higher than the proximity with 10 to 15 deg. What's the maximum temp that my macbook can handle ? the below is a list of sensors for normal use:
My Specs are: Core i5
I appreciate your help.

The i5 processor has a TCase value of 72.6°Celsius; anything from the Tcase and below will be the expected temperature of the processor in normal use, anything that doesn't stress out the processor like watching movies, burning CDs, browsing the internet, creating documents, etc.
When the processor is stressed out and it is being use at 100%, the temperature will go beyond the Tcase. It can perfectly reach 80 to 90°Celsius and the processor will still be OK. The cooling fan is in charge to keep that temperature there.
If the temperature reaches 100 °Celsius or more, that is consider overheating.
I assume CPU proximity is the CPU heatsink. CPU Die is the same, CPU Die.

Parallels takes high CPU and makes fan go 6000RPM when device connected

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.5 on an Early 2008 white base Macbook, with Boot Camp and Parallels (which runs my Boot Camp partition) so I can use Windows XP, which I need for some XP applications I need that don't work in Crossover.
I usually keep Parallels running, with XP paused (since I occasionally need it and don't want to wait for it to boot and drain my battery). If I plug in a USB device, such as my wireless mouse or external hard drive, Parallels asks me if I want to connect the device to the XP system, but since I'm usually using OS X, I keep Parallels hidden. So, I don't see the prompt. Parallels then takes 100% CPU and forces my fan to increase to 6000+RPM from the high temperatures it creates. Even though the system is paused, when I plug in a device, it takes 100% CPU simply for having the prompt dialog box open. Any way to fix this?
I have a base Macbook (Early 2008) upgraded to 4GB RAM (so I could actually use Parallels without both the systems being really slow).
On another note, is it more battery-consuming to keep XP paused, or to shut it down altogether and boot it up later?
Thanks.

Get CPU and memory usage

Hi!
I would like to know if there is any way of getting system CPU and memory usage using Java code.

I want to get the system CPU and memory usage using the performance monitor dll, the perfctrs.dll, but access this data using Java language.Then you should create wrapper dll between your java code and perfctrs.dll and convert data from format of dll to format of your java code.
So, that is next question - how to create wrapper dll, how to deal with or how perfctrs.dll works?

AUDIODG.EXE hogging 80-100% of CPU and sound not working in Vista . . .

I posted this on a Microsoft Answers Forum but none of the techs or people reading have been able to help so far. I'm dying to get to the bottom of this:
Here is my computer:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
2GB RAM
XFX GEFORCE 6600 GT 128MB DDR3 DUAL DVI & TV OUT (PCI-E)
200GB WD SATA HDD
500GB WD HDD in external enclosure via USB2
NEC ND-3520A 16X DVD±RW Dual Layer DVD Burner
LG CD Burner
I've been using Vista Home Premium successfully for some time. Recently, not too long after I did a clean wipe of my OS, my audio would stop working. The way it would happen is that everything would work fine until I started iTunes or another audio application and when I would hit play, things would lock up.
Upon inspection of my system resources, I'm noticing that the audio platform for Vista, via the audiodg.exe, is using close to 100% of my CPU resources, even when the computer is making no sound at all.
I've had a Sound Blaster Live! card in my computer for some time but I was not using it; I use the Realtek AC'97 audio drivers that are on my motherboard instead. I thought that the conflict may be the computer wanting to recognize my Sound Blaster, so I took it out of my computer but the problem seems to be worse.
Are there any BIOS setting that need to be adjusted for my sound to start working again?
I'm very reliant on the audio processing power of my computer (I'm in the radio industry, part-time) and this is a huge drag on my productivity.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thank you for using Microsoft Answers forum. I suggest going to the manufacture of your sound card and download the latest drivers and install them.
MY RESPONSE:
Good suggestion. The problem is this:
I am running on-board audio. I have an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboard which runs "Realtek ALC Series AC97 Audio Driver" and there is no version for Vista. They have a version for Windows 2K/XP and one for Windows XP 64bit.
Should I use on of those and if not, then what?
UPDATE (from me):
I took a chance and found a Realtek AC'97 driver for Vista.

I went to install it and the install hung. So, I closed one of the install windows and then the InstallShield app continued like it was working. So, I hit "Restart my computer". Well, the reboot hung too. So, I reset the PC manually.
When the computer came back up, the sound worked. Hard to tell if this will fix it for good but it's promising. Chaotic. Unpredictable. Annoying.
REPLY #2:
Before you tried updating drivers, did you try rebooting 1st?
I'm just trying to determine if rebooting your system is what resolved the issue - thank you
UPDATE II (from me):
My computer is behaving the same way it was before. AUDIODG.EXE taking up 80-100% of my CPU and the sound not working.
Any other ideas?

Small update: Despite my intelligence, good looks and vast experience I use Google sometimes. To my surprise this file turns out to be a Windows one. Here is someone who is much happier, and since it is some way in my line of thinking I'll quote it, but you might take my previous advice as well:

"- Open up msconfig.exe > Manage startup programs.
- Disable ALL Realtek entries
- Close msconfig.exe
- Right-click on the speaker icon > Audio devices > Speakers (properties)
- Go to the enhancements tab
- Check the box to disable all audio enhancements
- Close the menu
- Right-click on the speaker icon > Recording devices
- Disable all your microphones (yeah..., the actual problem seems to come
from voice inputs rendering..)
- Close the menu
- Restart your computer"
