Cpu and hard drive temperatures
Anyone had any luck with programs that show CPU,HD temps,fan speeds ?
My graphics card is showing 37 F AMD Cpu is 39 F WD Drive at 93 F Fan speeds of 1700 and 580 rpm Andy |

How well it supports those various hardware sensor chips. Although there's a case where the CPU temperature sensor chip on the motherboard may be fried due to low durability. It happened on my now-gone Iwill motherboard using the first model of Pentium 4 (IIRC, Willamette) which is known for its high CPU temperature (at least 50C with stock fan, up to 70C). Judging from the values of your hardwares, I'd say that the program doesn't do its job well, especially if your hardwares are old models. |

I am not sure about the hard drive. I did not know they had heat sensors. |

Now, I suspect there is an ACPI table means to get some info for that purpose, reducing the amount of messing about to get honest values. Some sensor values arrive via SMART. The GPU has a sensor, but I don't know what API the value comes in through. If you use a single utility, chances are the temperature will be a consistent set of degrees_F or degrees_C on the display. You can get GPU temperature with GPU-Z. You can get CPU temperature with CoreTemp. You can get HDD temperature with the SMART display in HDTune. So there are individual utilities if you want them. Speedfan should give you a taste of lots of stuff. I never use Speedfan for actually controlling fans, and just use it for sensor readouts. You can select sensors and put them in the graph, like this. http://images.sftcdn.net/images/t_op...screenshot.png Paul |
