Temp. monitor for Neo4 SLI?

Can anyone recommend me a program that's like Motherboard Monitor for the Neo4 SLI? I'm looking for a program that will display the temps in the system tray. Too bad MBM is discontinued

the current system temp monitor program i'm using is Systool. it autodetects your mobo and videocard. it has a whole bunch of other stuff too. it even detects videocard temps. check it out @ http://www.techpowerup.com/systool/
there's ALOT more you can do with it too. but that's for you to find out.

Temp monitor for ppc?

what cpu temp monitor can be used for ppc mac mini or ppc mac?
using http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html the widget one and i think that it is reporting the harddisk temp and not the cpu temp since it has the only option of "SMART Disk hardisk model here" and gave me a 45C-49C temp

I don't think there is a CPU temperature sensor on the PPC mini.

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

Core temp monitor program for hp touchsmart 610-1250

Hi,
Re: HP TouchSmart 610-1250, 64 bit, Win 7.
This is a new computer, my first all-in-one, and I want to monitor core temp. My CPU gadget tells me this has no core temp monitor system. Is it possible to download a monitor?
As an all in one, I'm concerned about heat build up, since I'm using it all day.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried SIW? (System Information for Windows by Gabriel Topala) I highly recommend it. Go to the sensors page after you open it, and then It should tell you.
Please give Kudos. What other kind of recognition could I get?

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.

Bios Settings For MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum MB

Hello all... Has anyone came up with the best and most stable bios settings for the MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum motherboard yet. Specifically under the CPU and Memory menus.
If anyone has seen any, please post them. or post a link.
Thanks
DaaDoctor

Well that depends on the installed CPU and memory, doesnt it? So I find that question kinda odd.
One thing though: Dont use Cool n Quiet.

Recommendations for server rack temp monitoring?

Our server room isn't large, we only have one rack with two Xserves, an Xserve RAID and a few other things. But temperature is obviously a concern and I worry about the day when the portable AC unit kicks the bucket and I'm away from the office.
Does anyone have recommendations some kind of temp monitoring device with email notifications, maybe web monitoring?

At work, we use a rack-mount Senturion Environment Monitor, it monitors the temp, humidity, etc. It can send SMS and email alerts, and you can monitor it on the web, it just needs power and a network connection. We got it when our AC actually did kick the bucket and 50 servers overheated. :-/

K8N Neo4/SLI Bios Update for a Newbie

This is the first MSI motherboard that I've bought and I love it. I've been wanting to upgrade to the latest bios, but I'm not entirely sure which one to get. I have the MSI K8N Neo4/SLI board, but when I go to the downloads section to get my bios update, I don't see my motherboard listed. I only see K8N Dimamond, K8N Platnium, and K8N SLI. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_list.php?kind=1&CHIP=Socket%20939%20(AMD%20K8)&ID=2 Which one of these would work on my motherboard, or would none work? If none of these work, where can I find one that will work?
Also, how is this bios update applied? Is it applied in Windows or through a floppy disk? Are there any recommendations over one or the other?
Any help in the matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you fill out your specs in your sig, we can see what you have. You'll probably find your board at the US site here
Also, no need to risk disaster in a bios flash if all is well. There are many stickys on this site re: flashing. It probably needs to be trimmed up a bit .
There are three ways to flash the bios. One is somewhat risky (floppy), another safe (ramdrive), and the last can be unpredictable (LiveUpdate).
I highly recommend the ramdrive or ntfs method as described here
EDIT: another good item to have on hand before you try this is the BIOS SAVIOR
This model fits my nf4 board

Neo4/SLI doesn't recognize X2 3800+

Is it normal for the MSI BIOS and Windows XP (Properties of My Computer) to both say 'AMD Hammer Family processor - Model Unknown' when running an X2 3800+ in a MSI Neo4/SLI motherboard?
Does the processor still work at full capability this way?
My bios is the latest which is dated March/2005 which is the latest found on the MSI web site for this motherboard.
CPU-Z shows the Processor Name as AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (E4) but the Specification shows 'AMD Hammer Family processor - Model Unknown'

Hi there,
March 1995 eh? that is surely the oldest BIOS on any Neo4!
If you meant March 2005, well there have been numerous BIOS updates since then. The latest non-beta BIOS is 3.8 dated Late Nov/Early Dec 2005.
The microcode for the new dual cored CPUs was included in the last 2 BIOS releases I believe...3.7 and 3.8. Anything older will not see the new CPU properly.
Update your BIOS but do not use the Auto download feature, download it and flash it by hand using a boot floppy (Win98 Boot floppy is ideal) and flash it from the ram drive that the boot floppy creates.
K6dude
PS, Make sure you are not overclocking the CPU or memory whilst flashing the BIOS!

Welcome to the forum DaaDoctor
If you creat a signature (in profile) it will save you having to type your spec's out each time or us looking for it. Use mine as a template.
What PSU are you using ? Can you list the power output ? (writen on side of psu)
Going from your specs you listed your graphics card is very hungery on power so I would suggest your psu isn't up to the job under load.
Post the spec and we will know for sure.

Confused - whats the difference between K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and Diamond??

MSI web page says the Diamond has:
"Silicon Image's SATA RAID supports another 2 SATA II ports. Transfer rate is up to 300MB/s."
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=638
their Platinum page doesn't list the Silicone Image raid as a feature on the Platinum.
I have K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum and it has the Silicone Image raid - I'm using it now.
Can anyone explain this?
Another question: for both boards it shows: "NV RAID (Software) - - RAID function available for ATA133 + SATA HD drives or 2 SATA HD"
How can the Raid fuction work for ATA133 drives since the cables for SATA and PATA are different? What do the mean Raid for 133?
Thanks!!!

Guidelines for Health Monitoring for TimesTen

This document provides some guidance on monitoring the health of a TimesTen
datastore. Information is provided on monitoring the health of the
datastore itself, and on monitoring the health of replication.
There are two basic mechanisms for monitoring TimesTen:
1. Reactive - monitor for alerts either via SNMP traps (preferred) or
by scanning the Timesten daemon log (very difficult) and reacting
to problms as they occur.
2. Proactive - probe TimesTen periodically and react if problems, or
potential problems, are detected.
This document focusses on the second (proactive) approach.
First, some basic recommendations and guidelines relating to monitoring
TimesTen:
1. Monitoring should be implemented as a separate process which maintains
a persistent connection to TimesTen. Monitoring schemes (typically based
on scripts) that open a connection each time they check TimesTen impose
an unnecessary and undesireable loading on the system and are discouraged.
2. Many aspects of monitoring are 'stateful'. They require periodic
sampling of some metric maintained by TimesTen and comparing its
value with the previous sample. This is another reason why a separate
process with a persistent connection is desireable.
3. A good monitoring implementation will be configurable since the values
used for some of the chcks may depend on e.g. the TimesTen configuration
in use or the workload being handled.
MONITORING THE HEALTH OF A DATASTORE
====================================
At the simples level, this can be achieved by performing a simple SELECT
against one of the system tables. The recommended table to use is the
SYS.MONITOR table. If this SELECT returns within a short time then the
datastore can be considered basically healthy.
If the SELECT does not return within a short time then the datastroe is
stuck in a low level hang situation (incredibly unlikely and very serious).
More likely, the SELECT may return an error such as 994 or 846 indicating
that the datastore has crashed (again very unlikely, but possible).
A slightly more sophisticated version would also include an update to a
row in a dummy table. This would ensure that the datastore is also capable
of performing updates. This is important since if the filesystem holding
the trsnaction logs becomes full the datastore may start to refuse write
operations while still allowing reads.
Now, the SYS.MONITOR table contains many useful operational metrics. A more
sphisticated monitoring scheme could sample some of these metrics and
compute the delta between subsequent samples, raising an alert if the
delta exceeds some (configurable) threshold.
Some examples of metrics that could be handled in this way are:
PERM_IN_USE_SIZE and PERM_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER compared to PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE
(to detect if datastore is in danger of becoming full).
TEMP_IN_USE_SIZE and TEMP_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER compared to TEMP_ALLOCATED_SIZE
(ditto for temp area).
XACT_ROLLBACKS - excessive rollbacks are a sign of excessive database
contention or application logic problems.
DEADLOCKS - as for XACT_ROLLBACKS.
LOCK_TIMEOUTS - excessive lock timeouts usually indicate high levels of
contention and/or application logic problems.
CMD_PREPARES & CMD_REPREPARES - it is very important for performance that
applications use parameterised SQL statements that they prepare just once
and then execute many times. If these metrics are continuously increasing
then this points to bad application programming which will be hurting
performance.
CMD_TEMP_INDEXES - if this value is increasing then the optimiser is
comntinually creating temporary indices to process certain queries. This
is usually a serious performance problem and indicates a missing index.
LOG_BUFFER_WAITS - of this value is increasing over timne this indicates
inadequate logging capacity. Yiou may need to increase the size of the
datastore log buffer (LogBuffSize) and log file size (LogFileSize). If that
does not alleviate the problem you may need to change your disk layout or
even obtain a higher performance storage subsystem.
LOG_FS_READS - this indicates an inefficieny in 'log snoop' processing as
performed by replication and the XLA/JMS API. To alleviate this you should
try increasing LogBuffSize and LogFileSize.
Checking these metrics is of course optional and not necessary for a basic
healthy/failed decision but if you do check them then you will detect more
subtle problems in advance and be able to take remedial action.
MONITORING THE HEALTH OF REPLICATION
====================================
This is a little more complex but is vital to achieve a robust and reliable
system. ideally, monitorting should be implemented at both datstores, the
active and the standby. There are many more failure modes possible for
a replicated system than for a standalone datastore and it is not possible
to ennumerate them all here. However the information provided here should
be sufficient to form the basis of a robist monitoring scheme.
Monitoring replication at the ACTIVE datastore
1.     CALL ttDataStoreStatus() and check result set;
If no connections with type 'replication' exists, conclude that
replication agents are stopped, restart the agents and skip
next steps.
It is assumed here that the replication start policy is 'norestart'.
An alarm about unstable replication agents should be raised
if this is Nth restart in M seconds (N and M are configuration parameters).
The alarm can later be cleared when the agents stayed alive K
seconds (K is configuration parameter).
2.     CALL ttReplicationStatus() and check result set;
This returns a row for every replication peer for this datastore.
If the pState is not 'start' for any peer, raise an alarm about paused or
stopped replication and skip rest of the steps.
It is assumed that master cannot help the fact that state is not
'start'. An operator may have stopped/paused the replication or
TimesTen stopped the replication because of fail threshold
strategy. In former case the operator hopefully starts the replication
sooner or later (of course, after that TimesTen may stop it again
because of the fail threshold strategy). In latter case the standby
side monitor process should recognise the fact and duplicate the data
store with setMasterRepStart-option which sets state back to 'start'.
If for any peer, lastMsg > MAX (MAX is a configuration parameter), raise
an alarm for potential communication problems.
Note that if replication is idle (nothing to replicate), or there is
very little replication traffic, the value for lastMsg may become as
high as 60 seconds without indicating any problem. The test logic
should cater for this (i.e. MAX must be > 60 seconds).
3.     CALL ttBookmark();
Compute the holdLSN delta between the values from this call and the
previous call and if the delta is greater than maximum allowed
(configuration parameter), raise an alarm about standby
that is too far behind. Continue to next step.
Notice that maximum delta should be less than FAILTHRESHOLD * logSize.
4.     CALL ttRepSyncSubscriberStatus(datastore, host);
This step is only needed if you are using RETURN RECEIPT or RETURN TWOSAFE
with the optional DISABLE RETURN feature.
If disabled is 1, raise an alarm for disabled return service.
Continue to next step. If RESUME RETURN policy is not enabled we could,
of course, try to enable return service again (especially when DURABLE
COMMIT is OFF).
There should be no reason to reject TimesTen own mechanisms that
control return service. Thus, no other actions for disabled return
service.
Monitoring replication at the STANDBY datastore
1.     CALL ttDataStoreStatus();
If no connections with type 'replication' exists, conclude that
replication agents are stopped, restart the agents and skip
next steps.
It is assumed that replication start policy is 'norestart'.
An alarm about unstable replication agents should be raised
if this is Nth restart in M seconds (N and M are configuration parameters).
The alarm can later be cleared when the agents stayed alive K
seconds (K is configuration parameter).
2.     Call SQLGetInfo(...,TT_REPLICATION_INVALID,...);
If the status is 1, this indicates that the active store has marked this store
as failed due to it being too far out of sync due to log FAILTHRESHOLD.
Start recovery actions by destroying the datastore and recreating via a
'duplicate' operation from the active.
3.     Check 'timerecv' value for relevant row in TTREP.REPPEERS
If (timerecv - previous timerecv) > MAX (MAX is a configuration parameter),
raise an alarm for potential communication problems.
You can determine the correct row in TTREP.REPPEERS by first getting the
correct TT_STORE_ID value from TTREP.TTSTORES based on the values in
HOST_NAME and TT_STORE_NAME (you want the id corresponding to the active
store) and then using that to query TTREP.REPPEERS (you can use a join if
you like).
The recovery actions that should be taken in the event of a problem with
replication depend on several factors:
1. The application requirements
2. The type of replication configuration
3. The replication mode (asynchronous, return receipt or return twosafe)
that is in use
Consult the Timesten replication guide for information on detailed recovery
procedures for each combination.
================================ END ==================================

The information in the forum article is the abridged text of a whitepaper I wrote recommending best practice for building a monitoring infrastructure for TimesTen. i.e. you write an 'application' in C, C++ or Java that performs these monitoring activities and run it continually in production against your datastores. Various aspects of the behaviour of the application could be controlled by configurable parameters; these are not TimesTen parameters but parameters defined and used by the monitoring application.
In the specific case you mentioned, the 'lastMsg' value returned by ttReplicationStatus is the number of seconds since the last message was received from that peer. The monitoring application would compare this against some meaningful threshold (maybe 30 seconds) and if lastMsg is > that value, raise an alarm. To allow flexibility, the value compared against )MAX) should be configurable.
Does that make sense?

It ALL works (mostly)!!! CPU Temp Monitor??

Just finished assembling my new system and loading it up this weekend, and amazingly, it works. Even with CL3 ram it runs much faster than a P4 1.8A on SiS 645/DDR333 board I had. I am amazed at how big a difference there is in the way XP Pro loads and retrieves data and how smooth it sets up. I did not have to load ANY drivers! A huge step forward from 98SE.
The only issue appears to be that the temperature monitor is out to lunch (So was my last board the SiS645 one, it did the exact same thing) for both CPU and Case. I installed a seperate case system to monitor temp and it gives me 22 deg C after I rearranged the airflow from the fans. I am thinking of drilling out the stock heatsink and inserting one of these temp monitors to real time monitor the CPU.
Has anyone come up with a good way to really monitor CPU temps with this board??

Hey,
I loaded up MBM (after I figured out what it was and where to find it). It seems pretty good: The case reads 37 deg C (my independent sensor reads 27 deg and bios says 47) and CPU reads 47 deg (bios says 57).
The real questions is : My -12 volts reads -6, and I have played with the settings to find the right sensor, and every sensor I select changes all the voltage readings. Is there a specific selection for readings that sets this up right?
Also, I found a Lian-Li temp sensor with thin tape probes that is designed to be set between CPU/Heatsink to provide real time accurate monitoring for chips (theres two, so I plan on doing CPU and NB), so I will have real data instead of hoping it is right. (19.00 US). Nice little 3.5" or 5.25" models avail in black, silver or beige.

Need hardware monitor for MSI 8851

:O
I need some help with locating a hardware monitor for the MSI geforce3 Ti200 (8851). Does anyone know why this graphics card doesn't come with the hardware monitor or the virtual desktop? If you know where to find such a program, well, you know what to do.

Take Care,

Richard -
I tried both the CD version of this and the website version and got the same problem - everything works except the Fan Speed, Temperature, and Voltage sections. They do not respond. They do work on an MX440 card we installed in a PC at the store I work at - why don't they work for this card?
The card is the MS-8871 Geforce4 Ti4400-TD. Is there a way to make this work, or if not, is there another program out there that will give me the fan speed, temps, and voltage? I would like to know this information.
Thanks!
