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,
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

Who makes a good disc utility now that Norton has stopped?

I have always used Norton Utilities in the past and it worked very well (I find the "horror stories" on the boards very curious). Since they no longer make this fine product, who does? I tried Tech Tool... worthless junk. Is Discwarrior anything close to what Norton was? Anything else?
Just for the record, I feel I have almost no need for disc utililities anymore. OSX seems to just take care of itself and never have any problems. However, I'm kind of the tech support guy for a number of friends. Some are into the p2p stuff (Limewire and flakey programs like that) and I like to be prepared to help them out. Myself, I only do the occasional defrag (I'm a recording studio engineer - it's still convenient sometimes), but it's nice to be prepared if something does go wrong.

Hi Jim;
I know that are some people that have used Norton without problems. For me it corrupted all four of my disks. When I called Symantec for support they verified I was running the correct version for the level of operating system I was using at that time. They then told me to replace all of my disks because they were totally useless.
I came to this forum and discovered that it might be Norton so I remove everything from Symantec from my system. I got Tech Tools Pro and DiskWarrior. It took them two days to fix my disk but I was able use the disks after they had been repaired by TTP and DW.
You say Tech Tools is junk. Could you please explain why you say that? Personally I have found TTP to be a very useful tool.

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
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mazenahmed/archive/2011/11/30/download-windows-server-operating-system-management-pack-for-operations-manager-2007.aspx
So that you can separate between users who viewing alerts of Hardware and users who viewing alerts of OS

What's a good hardware set up for a solo musician? USB pedal USB keyboard audio interface MIDI interface?

I am new to Main Stage. I have not bought any hardware interfaces yet because I don't know what will be the most flexible in the long run. I would be using the Main Stage's innate synths and keyboards, drums, an acoustic/electric guitar, bass, harmonicas and vocals. What type of hardware would you recommend? MIDI/USB keyboards? MIDI interface? Audio interface? USB pedal board controllers?
Would guys help me with specific suggestions and pointer on how I can make a good choice based on my needs?
much thanks!
Fabio.

Then below this is the recording level slider which is all the way to the left or at 0. This is where the problem lies I think as this slider is greyed out and cannot be moved!

Good external monitor recommendations for T61?

I need a good external monitor for my T61, the bigger the better. I would prefer to keep the branding the same with Lenovo. Does anyone have any advice? Should I go with another manufacturer? The Apple displays are really cool. Does Lenovo make anything similar?
Thanks in advance.

Who's Up for a Challenge? (or who needs a good Color Picker?)

Greetings,
I got lost in the muck trying to figure out how to make this color-picker code initialize with the last chosen color.... This is an open source project, and I posted my predicament on the blog for it, but it's been a few weeks and no one has responded. I've been able to integrate the code with my project no problem, it's just figuring out how to change this one behavior... the startup color seems to be hardcoded in several different places...
Seems like there's some folks here who enjoy a good challenge, so I thought I'd see if anyone might want to give it a shot.... I'm probably making it much more complicated than it is by starting from the wrong vantage point....
The Blog: http://www.v-vent.com/blog/?p=27
The Code: http://www.v-vent.com/source/hue/veventhuesource.zip
Any clues you have to offer would be greatly appreciated.... the idea seems simple enough....currently starts on yellow every time you load the view... would like it to start on the last color chosen, which is getting stored in user defaults....

Disclaimer: While the above is working, tested code, the files are not meant to be examples of good practice. The objective was to hose out most of the functional bugs while changing the old files as little as possible. This is usually the best first step in cleaning up a project, since it allows the original programmers to see the changes in the context of the existing structure. Those changes can be much more difficult to see after a complete overhaul. Improving the structure will also change the nib files, and describing those changes in the forum can be tedious.
Thus I perpetuated the structural weaknesses instead of moving most of the ivars, along with the code that administers them, into the ColorPickerViewController class. A number of useless but harmless artifacts were also left in the files.
Most of my tests were only for functionality on the simulator. Though I tried to take care of memory management in the code I added or changed, there's lots of memory management clean up to do. I did some brief tests on a first gen iPod Touch with iOS 3.12, and at first glance I was surprised how well things seemed to be working. I was even able to position the crosshairs in a couple corners after a few tries (e.g. at full brightness, the upper-right corner should be HSL: 255, 255, 255; RGB: 255, 0, 0). All four of these extrema are reachable on the simulator, and if you have steady hands and/or small fingers, they're probably all reachable on an iPhone as well.
Enjoy!

A good external monitor

hello, i have the final cut suite and i heard that when doing color correction you do not want to use your computer screen. does anyone know of a good tv monitor that is good - or if i even need one and the computer screen works just fine? at my school they used the 13-in jvc's. any opinions?
thx

If you're a recent student, then I will ask you what is the value of a test (examination, paper, quiz, questionnaire...) if it is not evaluated by an impartial judge. Is it an A+ or a D-? In other words does it need to be "right"? Would you give yourself a great mark for work that is "just fine"?
CRT monitors have been abandoned because they are not big enough, lack the resolution, purity, convergence, power efficiency and environmental impact that would keep them useful. On the other hand they have a smoother gamut, better black, gamma response, and show interlacing properly. Sadly, no longer available, and grade monitors in that class used to be $45K and up.
Solid state monitoring is getting ready for prime time. When it needs to be right, there are a few monitors that will be a good substitute for an A-class grading monitor... e-Cinema, CineTal, and a few other offerings. These are fairly pricey items, because building a monitor that will reproduce the various colourspaces currently in use is a tricky business. The majors: Sony, JVC, et al., to date, have not delivered, and don't seem as though they are about to, either.
You will hear all about various "inexpensive" solutions using computer monitors that are on offer with some sort of LUT, or pre-processing interface. For the most part, there is no way to fake the contrast ratio and response time that a true grading monitor offers.
You may be aware that in the "old days" there were serious arguments about the type of phosphor that was approved for CRT grade monitors... the same arguments now abound with regard to the various solid state displays that are being sold.
Colour "correction" requires more than a TV set that only shows that 'something happened'. If it is not calibrated to a known reference, all you're doing is damage. Sorry if that sounds negative, but you'll find out soon enough that it is the paying customers who have refined this notion.
Balance the cost of your monitoring choice vs. your ability to continue doing business and your professional reputation.
Think carefully about waveform monitoring, as well.

New MacPro: Good temperature Monitor Application for the nMP?

Can anyone suggest a good temperature monitoring application they have used for the new Mac Pro?
Thanks

I would recommend iStat Menus (http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/). I switched to it when I got the Mac Pro 2013 because Hardware Monitor doesn't work with the new Mac Pro. It's pretty good, although the history is only visual with graphs showing the evolution of the different sensors temperature. With Harware Monitor it was possible to read the temperature that were recorded at a certain point in time.

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.
OLIVIER THIEBAUT

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.

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...

Hardware Monitor on K9N2 SLI Platinum

Good Day All!
I have a question about the hardware monitor in the bios.
When I look in there it shows the Icore = 42.112 A; and that I12v = 5.491A.
Could someone please explain these numbers to me?
I think these might explain the problems I have been having.

Thanks Henry.
I just got permission from the good wife to order the new power supply.
I ordered a Corsair TX750 with the following specs. I hope it will correct my troubles.
I opted for a larger power supply than suggested as the Icore of my system seemed to be higher then the rating of the smaller VX550 watt unit.
AC INPUT       90-264V ~ 10A 50/60Hz
DC OUTPUT      +3.3V      +5V      +12V      -12V      +5Vsb
MAX LOAD      24A    28A      60A      0.8A      3A
MAX COMBINED WATTAGE    180W      720W      9.6W      15W
   TOTAL POWER: 750W
Thanks again for your assistance.
When I get this in the box I'll let you know how things are going.

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

I want to know who makes the great concept art drawings (on their splash page for example) for firefox

My name is Senne Gorris and I own a concept art / animation blog.
I always loved the drawings that firefox provides on their splash site when there is a new version or you just installed one.
for example:

Who makes these? I sure want to interview that guy or visit his/ their website

Can You Make A Good Song Without a Mic?

im a 14 year old rapper who's career is based on garageBAND.
well i was wondering, can you make a good song without a mic..
i think i have done pretty good without one.
www.myspace.com/thereallilsilk
but also you can tell the difference.
but if i do get a mic (eventually)
do you recommend me getting a USB mic, because i heard all you have to do is plug it in, set it up and your on your way...

You say it yourself: A mic would greatly improve your sound. USB is a way to go, as you say, you just plug it in and don't have to go for a pre-amp or audio interface. Don't get one of the very cheap ones that might be okay for spoken conversations. The Samson C01U is a good condenser mic that you should get for around $ 80.
