Overclock can damage hardware monitor ???

I'm sharing this doubt because something happens in my new upgrade ride.
I've bought an dual core processor (4200) and start to overclock it (signature pc). In a insane action i've decide to test my 4200 with the settings of my old system (athlon 3000+ @ 2250). So i've set the system this way:
HT=250, 4x
Memory=166 Mhz (divisor 14)
So, i've boot up the system with the processor at 2750 Mhz, but for some reason, the hardware monitoring function of the battery start to show 2.6V and not 3.0V as usually. Doing some stress tests the temperature was getting high, so i've decided to go back to stock clocks.
Unfortunately, the monitoring error stayed.
Thinking that might be the battery, i've removed it and measure it with a multimeter, and i've got 2.9V (3 years old). Thinking that could be the problem, i've decide to replace it. But no fix. The problem persist.
It's possible to have damage the hardware monitoring chip in only Vbat monitoring ?
The rest of the system is working flawless.

Starting out at 2750 OC is a bit much without working up to it. I think you should start at about 2500 and work up from that. What temps did it show under load? What HSF do have on it?
I agree with you !!! Despite windows had boot up, the system was not stable (super pi errors), and the temperatures was high.
Now my system is running at 2400Mhz and everything "look" stable. Super pi was running without errors and prime do so. The temperatures at full load not pass 60C. I'm using the box HSF with artic silver 5 (have to wait a little to total performance). At idle, the temperatures are at 40C, the same as my old 3000+.

  • LCD display for Hardware Monitor?

    Hardware Monitor...
    http://www.bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
    ...supports certain external, USB-based LCD displays for providing system status. Is anyone using one?
    Can anyone recommend a nice, already-assembled unit to set on the desk here? Thanks.
    blakespot

    Sadly none of the above unit will work w/ Hardware Monitor.
    I just received this email from the author after inquiring about the above displays compatibility w/ Hardware Monitor:
    Unfortunately, these vendors are completely unknown in Europe and
    they only offer drivers for Windows, so no support for these modules
    is possible so far.
    If not, is there a ready-made, external (already in a little
    enclosure) unit that does?
    No, I am currently not aware of any ready-made units. Unfortunately
    the market for these devices seems to be so small that no worldwide
    vendor has established an industry standard yet, or could provide
    an open software layer for Mac OS X. When such a solution exists, we
    will immediately support it in Hardware Monitor.
    For more information about LCD unit support please see the chapter
    "Controlling external alphanumeric displays" in the reference manual
    of Hardware Monitor.

  • Hardware Monitor Setup Freeze (K7T266Pro2) [SOLVED]

    1.Product Type: K7T 266 Pro2 (6380 v2)
    2.BIOS version: AMI V3.70
    3.External VGA Type: ATI Radeon VE 7000 AGP 128Mo
    4.CPU Type: Athlon XP 1600+
    5.Memory Type: 2*256 Mo DDR PC2100 PQI
    6.Power Supply Type: Heden PSXA870 380W with -5V output
    7.Operating System: Win XP Pro Sp2
    8.Problem Description:
    When accessing to hardware monitor setup page in BIOS, I get a freeze that I can olny escape by Ctrl Alt Suppr.
    I have made an update of Bios to V3.70 because a new module of memory I have bought make problems. This update do not change anything, so I remove this new module and don't use anymore.
    But by updating, my CPU clock down to 1050 Mhz instead of 1333Mhz, due to FSB set to 100Mhz.
    And impossible to access the page to set the parameter at 133Mhz due to a freeze.
    How to solve the problem and get back the right configuration I had before ?
    I have read that the problem may come from the power supplies that don't have -5V. I don't know what produce my PS, but how to prevent BIOS to check this -5V ?
    EDIT : I have check my PS and it produce -5V.
    Many thanks for your hlep.
    Regards.

    Merry Chrismas everydody.
    Back with happy news :
    - I have flash with v3.7 : flash OK
    - Still getting the problem : hardware monitor page setup freeze, and unable to set FSB to 133Mhz and get the right CPU clock.
    So, my solution :
    - Looking for editing the AMI Bios file.
    - I have load v3.70 Bios file in editor, and only change one parameter : I have set not active the -5V check in hardware monitor module.
    - Save my new bios file (called it v3.71)
    - Then, flash with that edited bios file
    - And manage to access the Hardware Monitor Setup page to set the FSB at 133Mhe. No more freeze.
    I don't know how to call this type of solution, but it works well.
    For moderators, you can modify the subject by adding [solved] if you want.
    Many thanks for everybody.

  • Hardware monitor error

    have any of you experienced spontaneous system shut downs followed by bios reports of 'hardware monitor error' press delete to enter setup etc.  My system has been brought to its knees by this and the good people at samsung have told me that it is probably the vga or the mainboard - which are the g4ti4200td and the a7v333 respectively.  I am stumped, is this possibly an IRQ issue, or a refresh rate issue or what.  The problem is not isolated to high graphic output operations, indicating, I would thing, a memory problem.  It happens seemingly in spite of me, no matter if I am running any programs or not.
    any info is much appreciated... thanx ?(

    Can I have your specs of your computer you are running on? Thanks...

  • Failed to load Hardware monitor driver

    I'm running XP and getting  a "Failed to load Hardware monitor driver" message when I do the following.  Log Off\Switch Users.  When the new user comes up I get the error message along with a request that I send the following files to Microsoft.   C:\WINDOWS\minidump\Mini042404-01.dmp and C:\DOCUME~1\HEIDIN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.  It then blue screens and reboots.  I can boot up into all users without any problem.  I only have the problem if I try to switch from one user to another withour rebooting first.  Is this a problem with "Live Monitor" or is it a problem with my Samsung Monitor?  I downloaded a Monitor Driver from Microsoft recently.  This makes the one and  only time I have ever seen a driver download on the Microsoft update page and it happened to be for my Monitor but it seemed to be the same version that came with it.

    If you are running core centre on both profiles, this will happen. Fast user switching causes CC to load again, giving the message u have and will crash XP. U need to log off one user, then switch.
    Alternativly make sure CC is not installed as a shortcut in all users. I place mine in my gaming profile only and dont use it in any other one.
    If u r not running CC, mmmm, dunno

  • 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

  • Hardware Monitoring using SCOM 2007R2

     Hi All,
    We have a requirement to monitor hardware (Dell,HP) in our SCOM 2007 R2 environment. Also we have to make sure that the hardware monitoring group should only view the hardware related alerts  and no alerts related to OS.
    I believe that Hardware monitoring is based on the operating system and those OS alerts may be related to the Hardware related alerts.
    I want to clarify myself is my point of stand that  can I restrict users from viewing OS related alerts when I provide access to the hardware monitoring group.
    Thanks 
    raj

    You can download and install Hardware Management pack for Dell and HP to monitor Hardware servers using below link
    http://opsmgr.wordpress.com/2007/06/30/hardware-monitoring-with-scom-07/
    And for operating system you can import management pack related to your o.s using below link

  • 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

  • Can the 30" monitor run on the new mini?

    Can the 30" monitor run on the new mini and is the new mini more powerful/faster than my current original 20" iMac intel duo?
    Thanks in advance for everyone's feedback!
    PS. I know the 30" is due for a refresh and would wait....

    You would need the mini-DVI to Dual-Link DVI adapter, but the 30" would work with that up to it's maximum 2560x1600 resolution.
    However, while the new mini will be a little faster than your existing 20" iMac (assuming by 'original' you mean the 2.0GHz 'early 2006' model), it's not going to offer you a significant performance boost. The mini would offer you greater maximum RAM (4Gb instead of your current 2Gb limit) and has a significantly faster bus and greater L2 cache, and it has 11n wifi rather than your existing 11g, plus a number of other minor enhancements, but you need to consider whether the benefits in terms of better performance and greater flexibility of buying this system, and the display to go with it, are sufficient to justify the costs.
    Much may depend on which software you are using, or plan to use. If you are habitually running legacy software which needs Rosetta, and often need more than one such application open at a time, your maximum of 2Gb RAM may be limiting system performance overall by quite a bit. A mini could help significantly simply by allowing you more RAM. Alternatively, if you are running little more than basic and common applications such as web browsers, email, etc, and have just 1Gb RAM, you might find that a better investment would be to increase the RAM in your iMac to 2Gb, and keep using that for a while longer - perhaps while you decide exactly what your future needs are going to be and thus which hardware is best suited to meet them.
    Alternatively, if you are just feeling that it's time for the iMac to retire and you want a new system, the new mini looks to be a very credible choice for a wide range of users - and pretty good value too!

  • Who make a good hardware monitor?

    Hey all.
    Just a quick post as I am searching for the least resource eating,  highly accurate and trusted hardware monitor.
    Ideally i can leave it open in the back ground while i work in Adobe products.
    which ones are you all useing?
    I would like to see, all available temps, fan speeds, voltages.
    doesent have to be anything flashy, just not interfering with resources for the adobe programs, no malware and hopefully accurate in its readings.
    the OC forums seem to support CPUID HWmonitor. though they never discuss how much resource it eats or if it has any known conflicts with programs.
    thanks for your advice
    erik

    Erik,
    You may also want to consider HWMonitor Pro from the same company. It adds a few features, like gathering trend data for cpu core temperature before, during, and recovered after a render.
    It however is a paid version; the HWMonitor program is free.
    I also use the MSI Afterburner program to monitor GPU activity. I'm pretty sure that it works for non-MSI nVidia GTX cards even though it comes from MSI and there are other similar utilities I'm sure from the various graphics card manufacturers.
    Personally, I use these tools along with CPU-Z and Task Manager to set everything up and then pretty much do without the monitoring, but I'm sure all of these tools could run 24/7 if you would like.
    Regards,
    Jim

  • Hardware monitoring chiset & support

    I own a MSI 6163 Pro MoBo. The hardware monitoring chipset works just fine under DOS based Windows systems: 98, 98SE or Me.  BUT ... it doesn't under win nt40, 2k or xp..... so why ... and what should I do ???
    need some hlp with this one ...

    You can't do anything about it. But you can use other hardware monitoring programs. Assaf once recommended me MBM5.

  • Speedit kext & hardware Monitor 3.6

    I love the fact that Increw developed "speedit" CPU temperature monitor kext and now Marcel Bresnik has incorporated its use into his great Hardware Monitor program BUT I just realized that the "kextload" command only loads the kernal extension temporarily and NOT at every startup so that HM can read the sensor.
    Can one of you smart guys out there tell me is there is an "elegant" way of having that kext load every boot so HM can automatically use it all the time?
    (by elagant I mean not just putting the commands into a shell sctipt that asks for a password every boot)
    There's gotta be a way, isn't there?
    TIA,
    Peter

    Well here's what I know so far. I tried using the sensor with HM and yes its great until you reboot.
    So then I tried this...
    copy speedit.kext to /System/Library/Extensions
    sudo chown -R root:wheel speedit.kext
    load the kext
    $sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/speedit.kext
    Optional - rebuilt the kext cache:
    $kextcache -k /System/Library/Extentions
    However the kextcache isn't getting rebuilt and so I continually have to reliad the kext to get HM to work.
    Can someone take a look at what I'm doind and tell whats is wrong?
    TIA,
    Peter

  • Hardware Monitor was causing my fans to stay noisy!

    Bought Hardware Monitor right after I got my Imac - wouldn't sleep without manually telling it to and my fans seemed to run all the time - last night I disabled it from starting up and guess what??? WHISPER QUIET again all day! It was causing my fans to stay running once they revved up for any reason (games, etc) - the only way to quiet them was a reboot but within a few hours they were off running again - once I disbled HM and rebooted - no problems - just played a game and within 3 or 4 minutes they were quiet again!!! All's Quiet now - I can hear my Firewire Drives but no more internal fans driving me nuts!!

    A silicon chip on the logic board, known as the SMU in the iMac G5 and Power Mac G5 (PMU on other models) controls the fans. In normal use, it can become corrupt. You can reset it with the back cover on or off. First we will try with the back cover off. Shut down your iMac G5 from the Apple Menu, and disconnect all cables including the power cord. After removing the power cord, wait about 20 seconds, and plug everything in again and start up the computer.
    Problem solved?

  • Hardware Monitor

    Hi all,
    I read the sticky at the top of the forum page, and it says my card is supported by "Hardware Monitor". Where can I find this "Hardware Monitor"? Is it a program I can download or is it a piece of expensive material I need to buy?
    Much light on the subject would be most helpful.

    AHHH!!!
    I just installed MSI turbo experience and it started beeping like crazy! It says that my tempurature is too high but it doesn't say what the actual temperature is in numbers its just blank....
    Please don't tell me my card is overheating, with that big ass heatsink/fan on it. BTW I have never O/C this card... I just got it back from an RMA a week ago.
    My system temp is: 22C
    My Cpu temp is: 49C
