You need to install HWmonitor, SpeedFan, or another similar utility. I had a temperature problem years ago, where, in my installation software archive are these five utilities under "temperature" (although not all seem to be "temperature" utilities)... 1. CPU-Z 2. GeekBench4 3. GPU-Z 4. Sandra 5. SpeedFan Of those, the SpeedFan seems most straightforward. Here's my ad-hoc installation log file for "SpeedFan". SpeedFan 4.52 (May 2017) Saved in: C:\installers\hardware\cpu\speedfan http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php Select components to install [x]Main program (required) [x]Create Program Group [x]Create Desktop Shortcut Space required: 8.9MB Default = C:\Program Files (x86)\SpeedFan Actual = C:\app\hardware\cpu\speedfan - (DEBUG) OS is Windows 10.0 - OS is Windows 10 - Running under WOW64 - You've got administrative privileges - Running under WOW64 - Copying AMD64 service - SpeedFan service installed into service database - SpeedFan service start type is currently set to demand - SpeedFan service start type properly set to AUTOMATIC - SpeedFan service properly started - Program files properly created - Program group properly created - Desktop shortcut properly created - Uninstaller properly created Completed It does not seem to phone home (AFAIK). Desktop Shortcut Target: C:\app\hardware\cpu\speedfan\speedfan.exe It has 6 tabs but I think the only tab that is useful is "Readings". 1. Readings 2. Clock 3. Info 4. Exotics 5. S.M.A.R.T. 6. Charts In "Readings", you'll see the speeds in RPM and temperature in deg C.

Peter You can see the Speedfan chart here, of CPU core temperatures. https://s28.postimg.org/ve04pgfl9/prime95_test.gif http://almico.com/speedfan452.exe If the GPU is doing the movie encoding (NVenc), you can use GPU-z to chart the video card temperature. Both AMD and NVidia cards have video encoder and decoder blocks, but a limited number of them. They're also limited on what CODECs they support. Encoding a movie won't drive a video card to as high a temperature as this test case would. Video encoding by card, only uses a tiny fraction of the card. https://i.postimg.cc/85cZzPxf/furmark.jpg https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4452-gpu-z.html Paul |

The CPU only managed 46C under load, not really all that impressive. And at low temperatures, the error bars on Core Temps are pretty big. Your dollar store thermometer would do a better job. The closer to the throttle temperature, the more accurate the Core Temp sensors. If it was reading 99C, it might then be +/-1C. At lower temps, it can be off by a fair amount, and some cores will appear to run "sub-ambient" while idle. https://s28.postimg.cc/ve04pgfl9/prime95_test.gif Paul |

Peter My AMD A10 APU came with a monitor program, and one of the options is reading the sensors, voltages, and fan speeds. Just a word of warning: with any of these programs, if the temp displayed looks totally outragious in either direction, it is probably bogus. Not all motherboards and/or cpus implement temperature sensors in the standard way. If you didn't get a monitor program with your CPU (check the vendor support page, it may be there) try several of the listed programs in the following posts and take the consensus. Once you find one that seems to be accurate, stick with it. |

Speccy tells me that my Intel Core i5 4690 is sitting on 37° C Seeing as we are talking about temps. I use an external usb cable allows me to connect either IDE or Sata drive to it and it shows up as a removable disk same as any other external. I have more than a few hard disks sit on a shelve I use for various purposes mostly arching data. One 1Tb drive gets very warm, I'd actually say hot in fact. I've seen it over 60 degrees C without doing anything but plugged in. Drive operates normally without any funny noises or anything like that. SMART data indicates nothing amiss with the drive. I can leave it plugged in overnight and nothing seems changed in it's behaviour, e.g. it works as expected. Any thoughts? With your clamp-on DC ammeter, you'd check which rail has abnormal power consumption. A high +5V consumption would mean a problem with the controller board. A high +12V could be a motor problem. With an infrared camera, you'd check the thermal profile and see if you can determine where the heat originates. A dry motor bearing could cause increased friction. Normally, there would be sound effects to go with it. Maybe a "squeak" at startup or shutdown. And the high temperature of the drive, will work to evaporate fluid from the motor bearing, so the high drive temperature only accelerates the failure mechanism. The controller board has a three-phase motor controller chip. It converts DC at 12V, into sine-like waves to drive the three phases on the motor. This is intended to reduce "torque ripple" in the rotation of the platter. If the motor has high friction, eventually the motor IC will hit its current limit, and some stunted waveform will be fed to the coils. This could cause more "hum" than normal. If the IC gets hot enough while doing this, it should shut off. The controller board has two surge arrestors. One across +5V and one across +12V. A failure of one of those could draw excess DC current. Those can be found on occasion, to be burned to a crisp (due to abuse they've suffered from a bad power supply). Those should be nearer the power connector on the controller board. Surge arrestors are needed to support "hot swap" while current is still flowing. You could have a short circuit in the 15 pin SATA power, but it's unlikely the thermal output would travel all the way to the drive casing. The connector could burn up. There are some power supplies with flaky "compressed fit" power connectors on the cabling. I haven't seen a root cause (a picture of an undamaged one), to understand how that is happening. If it was a tin whisker, the PSU could likely blow it out and remove it. Anything that's "driven" by a silicon chip, is likely to have some sort of power limiter for device safety. And if the power is that high, some part of the drive could shut off, as a hint how high it's getting. One of the reasons there would be an incentive for a motor controller design to check, is some Maxtor drives in the past, the motor controller was poorly made and it ran hot all the time. And those chips could burn out from the stress, which suggested at the time that they had no protection on their outputs at all. If they used a "Class D" approach, there's no particular reason the chip has to be boiling hot all the time. There have been a few cases, where components on computer motherboards got hot enough to melt the solder, and then if the machine receives a "bump", the component "floating" in its solder can get bumped off the pad it sits on. I'm not aware of any hard drives having circuits similar to those :-) The root cause there, was regulators designed as linear regulators, using an opamp and MOSFET pass transistor, and such circuits have little in the way of protection features. They've stopped doing that. It was a "P4 era" thing. And there was at least one Asus motherboard, where a certain tiny regulator on the board, ran at "100C" all the time as its normal operating condition. Someone spotted that with a thermal camera, on some Athlon motherboard. Paul |

I don't know if it's the MB or CPU sensors, but my Athlon X4 845 (and a previous AMD CPU) has always shown it idling at 0°C. Now, I know that can't be right :-( Core Temp allows an offset to be put in to adjust for temp correction. A number of articles say this CPU idles at ~26°C, so I put that in as an offset and everything appears to be normal, or at least closer to what I'd expect. I have overheat protection set in UEFI and in Core Temp, and have yet to have it shut down, so I have to assume the offset is at least close to correct :-) -- SC Tom |
