Temperatur​e monitoring GPU and CPU

Hello all,
I have noticed that my T410 i5 m 540 2.53gh runs very hot when at stress (mainly when playing old games, they seem to play ok but am concerned that this maybe damaing the machine so have stopped doing this).
I would ike to be able to test the temperatures of both the cpu and gpu and have installed tpfc.62, this is showing my cpu temp but displays n/a next to my gpu?. can anyone advise how i can check my gpu temp also?. is there a official lenovo tool / Bios etc....
my cpu is at 60 C while typing this, is this a normal temp for lite browsing?....
many thanks for reading...

Hi williamoj,
Download and install TPFanControl, there is no official tool from lenovo but this tool is especially programmed for thinkpads and is used by many users:- http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~schmitzr/donate.h​tml
Hope this helps.

  • Longest process in FCPX (requiring the most work from the GPU and CPU)?  Is it rendering or sharing?

    Which process takes the longest in FCPX (requiring the most work from the GPU and CPU)?  Is it rendering or sharing?  I realize each machine will give different times but I'm speaking in generalities.
    Thanks!

    I'm not going  to try to answer your question in generalities; just too many moving parts to take into account.
    But here are three links to articles and/or videos that you may find useful.

  • GPU and CPU high temperatures on Sony VAIO VPCEA1S1E

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my Sony VAIO VPCEA1S1E (with Intel Core i3 330M and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145 inside). The temperatures of CPU and GPU are higher under Linux than under Windows. As a result the fan is much more noisy.
    Under Windows
    When the system is idle the temperatures are about:
    GPU: 52-58°C
    CPU1: 42-50°C
    CPU2: 36-45°C
    In System Monitor tool there are 4 CPUs displayed and two of them (CPU1 and CPU3) remain suspended most of the time (while CPU0 and CPU2 are running all the time). The cooling fan is silent. This is OK.
    Under Linux
    When the system is idle the temperatures are about:
    GPU: 67-69°C
    CPU1: 55-57°C
    CPU2: 35-57°C

    I've also tried using Power Management tips for Radeon from Arch Wiki but the only option I could set in /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method file was dynpm and it made no effect.
    It seems to me that the main problem is power management of the Radeon card as it interrupts CPUs very often and heats most. I suspect that the CPU temperatures may be increased because of the Radeon ones (but I may be wrong).
    I hope someone can help with the issue...

    I tried replacing xf86-video-ati with catalyst driver and it helped indeed Thanks Mektub!
    @kismet010: Did you run aticonfig --initial (as root) after installing catalyst? It's very important. Before I run it the temperatures (and fan noise) were the same as with xf86-video-ati. Actually there are some more configuration steps that have to be taken after installing catalyst - check ATI Catalyst @ ArchWiki.
    Now I'm bothering with dual head configuration because catalyst incorrectly sets the primary screen (i.e. the other way round as xf86-video-ati does) but it's for another thread.

  • 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.

  • GT683 GPU and CPU upgrade

  • X305-Q705 - GPU and CPU upgrades possible?

    Question 1:
    I know that on some models have 2 GPUs.
    How can I upgrade the 9700M GTS and can I use crossfire or SLI?
    Question 2:
    What is the CPU I can buy for my laptop?
    Many thanks,
    Zyon

    Raver. What makes you think SLI is restricted to desktops only? There are plenty of notebooks out there with dual GPUs in SLI configuration including higher spec versions of this one. The x305-q706 has dual 9700m GTS's in SLI
    This notebook will support most dual and quad Penryn processors upto QX9300. but upgrading will be trouble because the motherboard has to be removed first because there is no easy access to the CPU from underneath the notebook.
    But ravers right with not needing to upgrade, It has plenty of power at the moment.

  • Is it bad for Fans and CPU?

    Hey guys,
         I'm currently using a mid-2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro with 2.6 GHz + 16GB of ram. I've been really wanting to use the SETI home application. This application basically uses your CPU's power and GPU's power at 100% (unless you're doing something else)
         Obviously, with CPU + GPU at 100%, the fans are going to kick on. My question is, is it bad to run the computer at 100% capacity for GPU and CPU? Will this damage the fans over time?
         I'm talking about leaving the computer on for hours at a time and letting it do its thing. There's a very good chance it will be hot for several hours with the fans on for several hours.
         On a previous Retina MacBook Pro I owned, I tried this and processor reached 212 degrees F (boiling point for water) and 180 F for GPU. Fans were on all the time.
         Is this bad and how bad is it?
    Thanks a lot.

    You're doing what some could call a burn-in run. Where you get everything hot and sustain that usage for long periods of time. The Mac can handle that, I have used older MBP's for the IT field and they had to process tons of data, they got hot, but I let them cool down at night.
    The fans won't get damaged, its a solid-state motor, unless you stick something in the fan...
    The thermal paste on the CPU/GPU may degrade quicker though. That is my one hesitation about dedicating this machine to that.
    I should note, that the heat and the power consumption is going to take it's toll on your electric bill too.
    85 watts * ~6 run hours per day = about $40 more on the bill.

  • Lenovo y480 GPU or CPU downclocking and AC power stopping while gaming

    I have a lenovo y480 (Windows 7 64-bit).  While using it plugged in, with the power option high performance enabled, when running games the battery icon will either switch to "Not Charging" or act like the laptop is no longer plugged in (running on battery).  If I pull the plug out and put it back in it will recognize that it's connected to the power adapter again.  When this occurs, obivously the FPS drop significantly.  I can only guess that it's downclocking the GPU but it could be the GPU and the CPU.   Anyone know how to fix this?  I've already replaced the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU with arctic silver because I thought it was overheating but I don't think that's the issue.  I also made sure the cooling setting is set to Active and not passive.  Thanks!

    Welcome to the Lenovo Community Paladyr !
    In addition to ArchLinixOS's suggestions, try downloading and installing HWMonitor.  It is a free utility that will monitor your temperatures, battery and charging voltage.  From what you have described it is possible that your charger / adapter is dying under a heavy load which in turn is causing the system to go entirely on the battery which is throttling back the performance.  HWMonitor will keep track of the minimum and maximum readings and eliminate the guess work if your charger / adapter is bad.
    HWMonitor comes in two versions.  The first installs to your hard drive.  The second is a portable version that can be unzipped on a flash drive.  Personally I like the portable version for working on computers.  Here is a link to that software..........

  • G41M-P25 / HW monitor F71889F - incorrect CPU temperature readings?

    My old mainboard blew up (literally, the capacitators leaked) and I had it replaced with a G41M-P25. The tech guy also put a new CPU cooler on the board because for whatever reason he decided that my old one wouldn´t fit. From then on my PC became extremely unstable, according to various monitor programs the CPU temperature was ca. 60°C in idle mode and went up to 85°C (!) within 2 minutes with full CPU load then the board would shut down.
    I went back to the store and complained and got a stronger cooler. The system runs stable now, but the CPU temperature readings are still quite high: ca. 50°C in idle, up to 68°C with full load. I double-checked the values in the BIOS monitor and it shows the same temperatures. But the heat sink is cool (way below body temperature) and when I touch the spot where it is sitting on the CPU it is cool, too.
    So... what are the chances that the HW monitor is reporting an incorrect CPU temperature? Is there any known issue with the mainboard G41M-P25 and the built in HW monitor Fintek F71889F? SpeedFan also reports quite high temperatures for "temp2" under full load (up to 80-90°C), which seems to be the mosfet temperature - but I know that SpeedFan is not completely to be trusted. I just worry about the CPU temperature, according to the Intel datasheet it should be ca. 63°C at most.
    My system:
    Mainboard MSI G41M-P25
    CPU Intel Pentium D 2.8GHz
    The Pentium D is known for getting hot fast, but on the other hand the cooler is already pretty strong and like I said a touch test revealed that the area near the CPU is way below body temperature, so nowhere near 68°C. In comparison the temperature reported for my graphics card is 50-60°C which seems to be correct because it actually is hot and the air surrounding it is warm, too. Should I just ignore the temperature readings? Or is this a problem which can possibly be fixed with a BIOS update? Or maybe complain again and have the mainboard replaced?

    Well, I used Speedfan. Problem is when under load temp2 hits about 80°C thermal throttling occurs which makes my processor useless for gaming. Because of that, I changed processor for my old P4 3,0GHz and OC'ed it a little (@3,27GHz). Temps are similiar, but lower than 80°C. Here is log from Speedfan after 2 mins CPU torture:

  • 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?

  • Hardware config and componenets : raid, gpu and monitor choices

    Right,
    I've almost finalised my decisions about a new build I'm putting together to use cs4 design premium prgrammes (mainly photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, fireworks and flash) and in the near future 3d Max and possibly a video editing programme.
    There are some things I'm stuck with for now; Motherboard and cpu, and some things I have a few questions about: raid 0,  gpu and monitor choices.  I appreciate this is a long post - but any feed-back would be appreciated.
    MOTHERBOARD AND CPU
    The motherboard and cpu were originally intended for a gaming pc:
    MSI DKA790GX Platinum Motherboard
    AMD phenom x4 9950 black edition
    This motherboard and cpu are far better than any other  I've had at my disposal when it has come to working with  adobe programmes (CS2).  So although
    - I will only be able to go up to 8gb of ddr2  800mhtz ram (apparently the motherbioard  becomes unstable with 8 gb 1066 ddr2)
    - I  do not have a motherboard that takes 2  6+ core cpus
    From what I've seen of reviews on these components, at the moment,  I'm quite happy with what I've got for both cs4 and 3d max use.
    Besides, in the last few weeks I've learnt there are other things I can do to get maximum leverage out of a build comprising  these components.
    HDD CHOICE FOR RAID 0
    I've read Harms generic guideline for disk setup here
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662972?start=0&tstart=0
    I gather that this guide is principally for optimum running when video editing. But I also gather that the performance enhancement of raid 0 compared to no raid will be beneficial for both  photoshop and 3d Max.  4 discs with 2 in raid is what I was thinking of going for.
    Discs I have or am thinking of buying:
    1.  I have 1 160gb WD ide 8mb cache hdd WD1600AAJB
    2.  I have 1 500gb WD Caviar blue SATA 16 mb cache hdd (WD500AAKS)
    3.  For the raid I'm thinking of buying 2x 1tb Samsung SpinPoint F3 7200rpm 32mb cache drives for £45.74 each
    These are obviously highly rated as raid drives in these forums and I can't find anything smallar than a 1tb version of these drives at the shop I plan to order from – or is 1tb all they come in?
    1st disc for OS and programmes
    When going to the trouble of setting up raid is it acceptable to use an ide disc for the OS and programmes? I ask this because the 160gb WD hdd mentioned above has hardly been used....
    If the ide drive is not approved of  I'm thinking of buying either
    1.  A 500gb Seagate Barcude 7200.12 16mb cache sata 2 drive for £29.73 or
    2.  A 500gb Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 7200rpm 16mb cache driver for £29.30 or
    3.  A  160gb samsung SpinPoint 7200rpm 8mb cache drive for 24.96
    I know the Seagate and Hitachi  are huge drives for the principal purpose of storing the OS and programmes but they both have 16mb cache and are only a few pounds more than the 160gb Samsung drive with only 8mb cache
    Or
    considering I'm going for F3 spinpoint for the raid discs would it be better, in terms of compatibility between the drives, to go for a spinpoint 8mb cache for the OS and programme discs
    What should be my biggest concern here – compatibility between the discs or a higher cache on the disc  - or considering they are all the same speed (7200rpm) does the cache not matter that much?
    2nd disc for page file, media cache
    I was thinking of dedicating the 500gb WD I have for these purposes.  I've read in this forum that the WD drives are not that reliable when it comes to raid arrays – apart from that they seem to have a good reputation.
    3-4th discs for raid 0
    My mind is pretty much made up on the Samsung SpinPoint F3's
    Partitions
    Because there are a huge number of gb's in this set up I'm thinking of  partioning the 1st and second discs so that in addition to using them for 'the operating system and programme files' and 'page file and media cache' their second partitions can be used to backup the data stored in the raid array.
    Is it good practice to partition dedicated discs in this way?
    THE GPU
    Due to it's reletive cheapness, wide spread use and endorsement amongst gamers and workstation users alike, first of all I was swayed towards the 480GTX and using quadro driver hacks.  But I couldn't get the number of ''risk factor' forum threads concerning making a GTX think its a quadro – particularly when it comes to using 3d max - out of my head.  Even without the hacks there are a high percentage of grissly stories out there concerning the 480s and 3d max compared to workstation cards and 3d max.  So I've decided that because I have the budget to get a workstation card (an ATI V7800) for 'just' £134 more than a GTX480 (£424 compared to £293) then for the peace of mind of more stable drivers, when getting to grips with a complex new programme, I might as well go for it and pay that bit extra.
    I've had a good look at both the ATI V7800 and the PNY QUADRO 4000.... the differences between stream versus cuda and how these cards perform when rendering 3d programmes.....  I  started vearing towards the V7800 when I realised that when it came to rendering it was being compared very favourably with the quadro FX5800 let a lone the much cheaper quadro 4000.... Plus with the disc set up I am now thinking of I can buy the V7800 plus all the discs talked about above for £10 less than I can find the quadro 4000 for alone.
    The only thing I'm concerned about is the V7800's compatibility with the cs4 design premium suite.
    This page indicates that although some of these cards were released after cs4 they are supported by it.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405445.html
    Would it be wrong of me to suppose that, because the new V7800 is a work station graphics card, it will  be supported by cs4?
    What difference will it make if it isn't supported?
    Having said that the quadro 4000 isn't listed as supported on this page either....
    What would be your choice between the quadro 4000 and ATI V7800?
    THE MONITOR
    The monitor I'm looking at the 22” Dell 2209WA  eIPS..... Although older (2008 vs 2009) the slightly larger 24”Dell 2408WFP has also caught my eye due to the higher contrast ratio (1300:1 vs 1000:1) and that this increased contrast ratio means it is capable of displaying 110 percent of the NTSC gamut as opposed to 86% with the the 2209WA.
    I'm familiar with monitor on the 2006 dell XPS M1710  laptop and am very impressed with colour fidelity.  The 2408WFP does require more calibration tweaking by the sound of it....
    Anyone any experince of either of these monitors?
    I'm off to the gym for an hour or so - I'll be back in a couple of hours

    My strong advice:  Don't skimp on price on hard drives.
    Get high MTBF RAID edition drives (e.g., Western Digital RE-series drives).
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=30
    In my main workstation I currently have two 1 TB WD RE3 drives that have been spinning in a RAID 0 configuration 24/7 with ZERO problems for a year now.
    I figure one wants to minimize the chance of losing one's data down the road.  How much would it cost you in time, effort, and lost work to recover your data from a backup if you should lose your hard drive?
    Top-end drives can fail, sure, but the MTBF numbers say that the chances are much smaller than with "cheap" drives.  And the RAID edition drives have additional features, such as vibration reduction, that differentiates them from lesser drives.
    Ask yourself, why would one drive be cheaper than another?  Poorer quality materials?  Not as much quality control?
    Another bit of info:  Search this forum for "quadro".  It seems that these expensive video cards may be seeing more trouble with Photoshop than you might expect.  Some of the less expensive cards, that may have had more OpenGL testing (e.g., to support gaming) might be better choices for use with Photoshop.  Personally I prefer ATI.

  • Max Temperature of mainboard and CPU?

    What's the maximum permissible working temperature (in ºC) for the mainboard and the AMD64X2 4400 CPU.
    At the moment Corecenter shows:
     mainboard: 41ºC
     CPU: 47ºC
    and CPU fan is almost at maximum: 1875rpm and  NBfan: 800rpm
    Is that too much?

    That NB fan speed seems a bit low... 800 rpm? Stock is 7,000rpm  This might be more Core Center inaccuracy at work.
    Try monitoring it with something else other than Core Center - like SpeedFan for example, & see what it says.
    For some reference, here's the temps for my Neo4 Plat. PCB 1.0 w/DC Opteron running @ 2.5Ghz & 1.45v. See my sig for the other junk... These temps reflect a room temp of 77F & a well ventilated case.
    CPU temps: 36-49C
    chipset/system: 29-32C max.
    - I've always used a Vantec Copper VGA cooler in place of the stock fan for the chipset, as I've always heard/read that the stock one is a piece of loud garbage.

  • 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.

  • About K8N Neo4 Platinum temperature (NV Monitor and CoreCenter)

    OK, ¿Who is the good one?
    Also i have a temperature panel in my case, and the temperature is different too.

    Every software does read data from sm bus. That one is true. However each of them does calculation on its own and performs compensation.  Just for example; vcore calculation looks like this: $20*0.00488 + 0.69 which turns into 1.41.
    Finally booth of them are right. The board has 3 sensors: CPU, Board, "something". NvMonitor shows CPU and "something" while corecenter shows CPU and Board.
    NvMonitor can't be trusted, they produce northbridge and it is up to board manufacturer to select monitoring chips (winbond, lm,etc) on board. Therefore I would rather believe to the corecenter.
    I suggest using Motherboard Monitor MBM and using my custom data for monitoring the temps:
    http://213.214.52.181/Motherboard Monitor MBM 5.3.7.0 for MSI Neo4 Data Only.rar
    Also, I believe that "something" is a temperature of the northbridge, but compensation must be added. CoreCenter shall fix this isue, but then... why they didn't do that before... because "something" is not for northbridge as I thought... who knows... yeah whatever, who cares...

  • How to monitor GPU temperature?

    Hi dears.
    Recently I changed my HD3870's fan with the Arctic Cooler Accelero S1 Rev.2 silent cooler. This is much more silent than the stock fan installed on the Video card.
    So the question is: how do I monitor GPU temperature to check if all is ok? In the event of too much hot GPU can I cause problems to all the system or only to GPU?
    Thank's a lot.
    Regards.

    I use this app to monitor my iMac's overall temperature: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23049/smcfancontrol
    If the computer appears over 120ºF/130ºF, you can use the slide bars to increase the fan speed. Mac computers can still pretty easily run at around 210ºF, but the cooler you keep it, the better. Personally, I keep my iMac at roughly 100º.

Maybe you are looking for
