Reading CPU Temperature

The attached VI reads CPU temperature on one of my computers, but not on another.  I suspect that some of the strings are brand-specific.
Does anyone know a more generic way to do this?

Hey pcardinale,
Take a look at this Community Example: Get CPU Temperature (Individual cores) .   I hope this can help out more. I believe this is pretty generic and will work on all the computers.

  • Read CPU temperature of Desktop PC running LabVIEW Real-Time

    Is it possilbe to read the CPU temperature of a Desktop PC running LabVIEW Real-Time? I found an older example that allows to read the temperature of PXI systems (http://www.ni.com/example/29538/en/). Is there a possibility for Desktop Real-Time Machines as well?
    Regards,
    Steffen

    Hi this is heavily dependent from your specific Hardware. Which PC or more specific which main board do you use?
    I found several examples in the NI forum that try to access the CPU data.  
    I’m using a Dell machine and both temperature VI’s are not working for me.
    Hope you have more luck.

  • How to read the CPU temperatures of a RT PC [LabVIEW RT]

    Hi,
    I am programming a stand-alone RT application with LabVIEW RT that runs on a regular PC.
    I would like to monitor the different system temperatures (CPU,...) and if possible the fans speed.
    I found an example that performs this task for PXI systems but not for regular PC.
    Does anybody know if this is possible and how I can do it?
    Thanks

    Here is a solution that reads the temperature via a VBS script. The script uses WMI to access the Temp.

  • Read clarkdale cpu temperatures

    Hey everyone,
    is there a way to read the cpu temperatures of clarkdale chips like the i3-530 i'm using? It seems to me that in 2.6.32.9 there is no kernel driver available to access the sensor information. Does that mean there's no way to read the temperatures?
    So far I've tried lm-sensors and of course i looked at thermal_zone in /proc/acpi/ without success.
    Thanks,
    demian

  • Tweak the balance between fan speed and CPU temperature / Dell M6400?

    Hi all,
    I have a Dell Precision M6400 17" laptop. It runs really well on Arch, but is a bit noisy. It has always been noisy, btw, but I recently noticed that the CPU fan was blowing a lot of air even though the CPU temperature is lower than 70°C. I also have a macbook air, and its CPU runs at 70°C all the time, which seems to be normal. I would like my m6400 to behave similarly, and I'm sure someone here know how to change that

    When I start the laptop, its CPU fan stays at its minimal speed only for 1 or 2 minutes, then increases its rotation speed to a second level. It reaches it maximal speed only under heavy load, when the CPU reaches >80-95°C. I would rather let the CPU run a bit hotter before the fan starts to blow: let's say the fan could enter its intermediary speed between 70°C and 85°C instead of 55-80°C, and blow at is its maximum speed beyond that.
    I checked the Fan Speed Control wiki page, but lm-sensors is not able to show me the status of the fans. Any idea ?
    Aurel.
    PS: the temperature of the GPU is not reported by sensors, and nvidia-settings reports around 60°C. Its dedicated fan is very quiet.

    Hi aurelieng,
    I'm in the same situation from at least 1 month ( INTEL CORE 2 EXTREME X9100, 3.06GHz with 8GB ram, one solid state disk 128 GB, and one sata disk 500GB)
    My dell M6400 has dual boot: ubuntu and windows7. The fan works a lot and continuosly in both environment and this is the reason because I have doubt that the origin of the problem is in hardware problem?

  • My macbook pro cpu temperature is too high??please tell me correct fact and information

    i mistake deleting my activity.......re question...
    I'm using macbook pro retina 13inch 2013 late version.
    my macbook has NO external graphic card, just iris graphic.
    when i was playing diablo3 or watching movie by using bypass ip address, my cpu temperature was maintained 90~100 celcius degrees.
    And at the same time, my cooling fan was maintained 5800~6000 rpm.
    There are two questions.
    One, is my macbook temperature too high or normal level ?
    Two, i know that 6200rpm is maximum speed of cooling fan. Why  did fan run 5800~6000rpm, not maximum?

    When processor intensive activities are taking place, temperature may reach the maximum level.

  • Satellite M100 - I can't analyse the CPU temperature

    I'm an owner of Toshiba Satellite M100 series (Core Duo T2300, X1400, etc.). The problem is that I can't analyse the CPU temperature changes in such popular application like Everest or Notebook Hardware Control. Also any other software provided by Toshiba and already installed on my HDD doesn't include some CPU diagnostics including the temperature changes!
    The only software which seems to be working is the HWiNFO32 so there is some thermal sensor inside which reads this temperature of Centrino Duo processor, but this software is not very user-friendly :(
    There is a request for Toshiba to do something with this... I've upgraded BIOS in my model to a version 1.70 but it didn't change anything I could easily notice (or is there any?) :(

    Hi
    Like Mike said the BIOS update has nothing to do with the CPU temperature monitoring.
    The fact is that Toshiba doesnt support any 3rd party applications.
    However, all the temperature programs are not precise and dont get exactly information about the temperature. Only the programs with a physical temperature sensor will give you a exactly temperature.
    I dont understand why its so important for you to know the temperature. The Toshiba notebooks support an overheating protection and if the temperature increases to the critical level so the unit shuts down automatically.

  • Why the CPU temperature is so high?

    My NB Model #MB466, the CPU temperature is 40-50C under normal running and the fan is 2000rpm (I use iStat). When the CPU usage is about 80%, the temperature goes up to 70 or 80C, I can feel it, especially the bottom area of the screen, and the fan goes up to 4000rpm.
    Is this normal?

    My new Aluminum MacBook can get pretty hot when I play Spore or use an iTunes visualizer. The hottest I've seen (according to iStat Menus) is 194 degrees fahrenheit and 5637 rpm. I think they won't go too much farther. If something meets the system requirements, it should be fine.

  • Mac Pro 8-core X5365 CPU temperature

    I've got an 8-core Mac Pro which is crunching SETI@home 24/7, with Hardware Monitor monitoring the CPU temperatures and other vital stats. After reading the Intel Quad-Core Xeon Proc datasheet, I'm a little edgy about the operating temperature of these X5365 CPUs, currently registering at 65 - 70ºC on load for each temperature diode, and fail-safe temperature set to 73ºC to disable SETI@home via Hardware Monitor. I also have smcFanControl speeding up the fans because my ambient temperature varies thanks to myself being in a tropical region, my ambient temperature can reach 33ºC at times, but down to 28ºC when air-conditioned.
    My question is, what is the maximum temperature for these CPUs before they run into the risk of being fried/permanently damaged..?
    Inputs from the Mac Pro-DC/grid community are also welcomed here.
    Thanks.

    my 8-core is running seti 24/7 since may without any problem, although my ambient temps dont rise above 30 degrees centigrade...and that's using the optimised apps which make the processor run hotter
    the fans on the machine run 600-2000 rpm all day and all night, i dont expect it to lessen the life of the machine whatsoever. it should be capable of running flat out all its life, that is, after all why we spend so much on these machines in the first place !
    if you only use 4 cores perhaps you should buy a 4-core mac ? he heh just joking...
    as mentioned earlier, when things get really too hot the OS will shut the system down, and if that doesnt happen then the cpus themselves will shut down...
    the heatsinks and fans on these machines are fully capable of coping if your macine is running withing the specified ambient temp range which for the mac pro is 10° to 35° if your seeing ambient over 35 then smc fan control is probably a good idea otherwise it should be fine

  • CPU temperature under Bootcamp with Windows 7

    Hello,
    In Windows 7 on Bootcamp (version 4.0), while watching youtube/flash or installing software (e.g. Adobe Acrobat updates), the CPU temperature on my new MBA (MacBookAir4,2 (13") - 1.7/4/256GB) goes pretty high, but ironically the fan speed does not increase to take care of that.
    Attached is a screenshot I took using speccy, where we see that the CPU temperature is 94 C, but the fan speed is only 2001 RPM.
    However, when I run OS X (Lion), the fan behaves normally and speeds up as necessary to accommodate the increase in CPU temperature.
    Has anyone else experienced something like this while using Windows 7 under Bootcamp? And does this behavior seem normal?
    Thanks!
    Screenshot:

    try Lubbo's Fan control.
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/lubbofancontrol/
    when you first run it immediately decrease the max fan speed to less than 3000. it's default value is crazy 6000 rpm.

  • [SOLVED] Question about CPU temperature

    Hi everybody,
    I just want to ask a question about "standard" CPU temperatures because my laptop (a Dell Vostro 3700) is permanently hot with the fans on even when I am not doing anything special.
    I have CPU freq scaling active with the conservative governor, and I use Gnome Shell 3.2 with an nVidia using the nouveau driver.
    Here are "stable" temperatures while writing this post:
    # sensors
    acpitz-virtual-0
    Adapter: Virtual device
    temp1: +72.5°C (crit = +103.0°C)
    nouveau-pci-0100
    Adapter: PCI adapter
    temp1: +78.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C)
    coretemp-isa-0000

    Core 2: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
    And this is the output of mpstat

    The fan, of course, is full speed (very annoying)
    I think that these temperatures are quite high, but I don't know what's really causing all this heating because my laptop is basically idle.
    Any suggestion?

  • Mac Pro CPU temperature while rendering

    Hey there, I just recently got myself a Mac Pro 2009 with a stock CPU - quad 2.66. While rendering, my CPU temperature goes up to 71C/160F and fans are on their defaults. Im just wondering if this temperature is OK for fans to not kick in, or I should reset something? Thank you

    By seeing all the thermal sensor readings, and fans, sometimes people have found an issue where the readings were not right - sensor was getting wrong reading or none -
    Laptop like MacBook Pro can often have their fans running much harder to cool and deal with heat.
    Those new Haswell chips are suppose to run even hotten, they may be providing Intel 4600 integrated graphics as well as cpu functions, PCIe and USB3 as well as memory controller. They are powerful and efficient - and you will see cpu spikes in utilization AND corresponding changes in temps. \
    Same on Mac Pro but not as extreme. Opening apps and files can show 10*C jumps for 1/2 second.
    If you are going to render, then sure do what helps the system stay cooler and in a safe(r) temperature range. Newer components are helping companies save $$   on cooling and being able to run servers and even disk drives by 5*C warmer making a huge change. Think Google, Facebook or NSA having large factory flooors housing equipment needing to be kept in temperature controlled environments.

  • MacBook CPU Temperature

    For the last several months my MacBook fan start to run as soon as I do anything processor intensive - including running a screensaver. As soon as I do something other than read mail or write in BBedit the fan revs up to 6000+ rpm. Looking at iState menu right now: Handbrake is the highest load, running using about 50% of the CPU. CPU temp is 99C, heatsink A 57C, heatsink B 56C, and the Enclosure base is 27C. The fan, as usual is running over 6000 rpm.
    Is this normal? Could it be that thermal paste problem? Internet research has been more confusing than helpful.
    Applecare is long expired - This is an early 2008 model.
    Thanks
    -Max

    yep. and i bet, your fan isn't even spinning at its 6200 rpm maxmimum to accomplish this.
    ok. as far as i understand it, different mabook series allow for different cpu temperatures and accordingly have a different fan behavior depending on which cpu is installed and which buliding materials are used in the book itself. so we can't directly compare your 2007 model to his 2008 or my 2009 model. but one thing pertains to all machines: if the fan spins at it's absolute maximum speed for a longer time period and temperatures do not drop noticeable, and if the fan never showed this behavior before, there's probably something wrong.
    either the ventilation is blocked for some reason or the thermal paste is disintegrating. i would have checked it at the store. also, there is this wide gap between cpu temperature and heatsink temperature. for all i know, it's normally a difference up tof 15-20°, but not arround 40°.

  • How Far Off Is the CPU Temperature On A K9N6PGM2-V (MS-7309) Motherboard?

    I have read on other sites that these boards have inaccurate cpu temperature readings in the bios. I am wondering how much these temperatures are off, if they even are. I have an AMD Athlon X2 4200+, Bios version 9.2. Thanks for your help.

    Quote from: hunterman439 on 28-March-09, 22:54:04
    Thanks for all replys,
    Sometimes when I turn the computer on and go into the Bios the cpu temperature is already at about 115F. This isn't terrible or anything, but it seems a little hot for just starting the computer.
    115 Fahrenheit = 46,1111111 graden celsius
    That's quite normal, nothing to worry about, BIOS temps are always a bit higher then idle temps.
    Please use C as everybody uses that in the forum, thanks.

     What you have suggested is good only if the Thinkpad Hardware of the SAME QUALITY are a available everywhere in the world, almost same prices and can be brought easily without delays  
    If you wanted a 100% perfect cpu with twice as much cache memory (compared to yours), I could probably get you one for about $10 delivered to your door (more or less depending on cost of postage). I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want to waste your old chip, but someone using a slower chip might be willing to pay $5 for it, so it wouldn't be a complete waste. 
    These are chips that originally cost hundreds of dollars and the way I see it is as cheap as they are selling now, I can't afford not to upgrade. Generally the fastest chip in any line are quite expensive even after a few years, but the models we are talking about end up being so cheap that they are destroyed in order to salvage $1-2 of gold from them.  
    However if you're happy with your performance, then there is no reason to upgrade. 
    There is one other aspect you may want to consider, if your system has the newer version of system board that supports Penryn cpu chips, then you could get a more advanced cpu chip that runs cooler, since you're concerned about running temp. If your laptop was manufactured in 2008, then it's very possible it could have a board that supports the penryn class cpu.
