Put your mouse under GPU temperature and when it's an arrow (or whatever your mouse pointer looks) wait a couple of seconds and that window will pop up.
Me too needs explanation from uncle to see that. :D

Only the XS crowd gets to know the secrets. You might have to wait 5 seconds for it to pop-up so be patient and drink plenty of coffee in the morning so your hand is steady!
Better without caffein, or the hand will be not steady enough. :)Quote:

About the only other secret I know of is the Anchor Position. Sometimes you have a bunch of junk on your screen and you want to see RealTemp but just not where it presently is. If you double right click on the GUI it should jump to a fixed position or an Anchor position. To set this position, drag RealTemp to where you want your Anchor position to be and then hold down the shift key and double right mouse click. Now, wherever RealTemp is, one double right mouse click and it will jump to your chosen anchor position. I think that's in the documentation somewhere.
I was just playing around with Windows 7 today. The only RealTemp issue is that the temperature icons are no longer in order in the system tray area. Win 7 randomly inserts them while XP and Vista inserts them one at a time in the correct order, core0, core1, core2, core3, gpu.
I can't think of a fix for this. Maybe Microsoft has some ideas. :D
uncle, pls check your e-mail!

Good news. fgw has been working hard at making a RivaTuner plug-in that is compatible with RealTemp's adjustable TJMax and Calibration factors.
I was a little worried at first but it's looking very good now. :up:
Hopefully by the weekend it will be ready for some beta testing. As the screen shot shows, it works on Windows 7.
No GPU readout here? Settings for it are also grayed out >>>

I know you have just started to get this working, so wondered if you could tell me why it is a no go for me. And just to let you know it is not working on my setup (Sapphire HD 3870 Toxic)
unclewebb, I love realtemp, but with regards to releasing new versions, you need to set in stone the new features for each version, and not continue to add things as they come along. Otherwise, there will never be a new "final" release.Quote:

Don't worry, I'm looking into adding temps for ATI cards too. As you can see by my earlier post, I've been working with fgw on a RivaTuner plug-in. He's doing most of the work but I'm learning as we go along and I've also been looking into Windows 7 compatibility. All this stuff is important and all of it takes time.
If everyone that used RealTemp sent me $10 bucks then I could work much harder on this project. Hmmm, maybe not. With all that loot I'd probably go for a few of these :toast: and then nothing would get done! :rofl:
Is this really a problem? As long as a program works great and you can come to XS and download a free version and I continue to improve it all the time then does it really matter if there is ever a "final" version?Quote:

The RivaTuner plug-in is mostly independent from RealTemp. You don't need to have RealTemp running while the plug-in and RivaTuner are drawing those nice green lines.
The features for 2.90 are 99.9% done. Calling it official isn't going to change anything.
Ahh, Ok! Thanks! I do try to keep up with this thread, but I musta missed that!
No biggie here at all, just though I was helping add to the list of bugs, Guess I should have read back a few beforehand.
Thanks for the hard work man! I will try to keep more up on the thread as the new features are added/ironed out
I just found some ATI specific code yesterday so it might happen fairly quick. It just makes sense to me that RealTemp 2.90 Final should be able to read temperatures from both Nvidia and ATI graphics cards. I'm half way there.
Uncle, sometime in the future you should consider a donation thingy. I for one would throw you a couple bucks for your hard work!!
Ahh! Nice to hear.
I dont game, or check my Card temps often (Only when bench'n) so I just was trying to check it out. Think I need to read more often before I post, then I would have known it did not work for ATI yet!
Ahh, somedays I just never know about me!
Lsdmeasap: No problems. Not everyone has time to read through 125 pages to see what's been going on lately.
The last official version 2.70 has been downloaded over 218,000+ times since August and so far a grand total of one person has taken the time to get my PayPal address from me and send me some money so I could go get something to eat. That's why I'm not overly concerned about the next official release. Writing freeware software doesn't pay very well.Quote:

There's a great bunch of users here at XS that have helped test and have contributed to making RealTemp a great program. I'm happy to be able to give something back to the community here.
You can always contact me at Real_Temp@yahoo.ca and I'll send you my PayPal address where you can send me a beer and a burger. I like to eat too. I shared my first royalty check with my daughter and she's been patiently waiting for her next installment. The wife isn't too happy with the project RealTemp balance sheet either. She keeps saying nasty things like, "Go get a job you lazy bum!" :rofl:
Haha a beer and burger it is then... Maybe a donate tab or something on the app somewhere. 200,000 people may have downloaded your application, but that is easy.
Taking the time to contact you and get an address, then send money, takes additional energy that most people are not willing to give, especially for a donation.
If you make it easier for them ( and me :) ), I can all but guarantee some money will come in from it.
Yeah there is no easy way to donate. If there was a paypal button, it would be so much easier, and I would for sure donate.

Head to PayPal, log in, click on the Send Money tab and I'd be happy for any cash that comes my way.
The stock market has really sucked lately so some extra cash wouldn't hurt. :(
Send your donations to:
monitrex@yahoo.ca
I'll try to add a PayPal button to the About... box someday.
It's been on my things to do list but it keeps getting bumped by more important stuff.
Your not greedy, good man.
Thanks for the $contributions$ to project RealTemp.
fgw supplied me with some code recently which got me motivated to create a RealTemp / RivaTuner plug in and it seems to work.
I'll need to have a closer look at things tomorrow but here's the first beta release:
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/...507/RTCore.zip
Unzip and copy the attached files into your RivaTuner/PlugIns/Monitoring directory and the rest should be easy.
I plan to add an option to RealTemp so that the TJMax and Calibration settings will be automatically copied into this RivaTuner directory whenever you update these settings in RealTemp. At the moment you will need to edit these values manually in the new RTCore.cfg configuration file.
Finally some RealTemp data on my G15.

I wasn't able to use all of the RealTemp MHz code in this plug-in so the MHz are not updated in real time like they are in RealTemp. If you use SetFSB then you would need to re-start RivaTuner if you want the MHz to be recalculated. Other than that, the temperatures and Load meter should be almost identical to what RealTemp displays and the MHz are far better than the CPU.dll plug-in that I tried. Happy testing. :)
Edit: Almost forgot. This plug-in includes Distance to TJMax for each core for those that like to keep an eye on that number.
thanks uncle! lovin the G15 plugin! :up:

Just a quick bug fix. The original version wouldn't display Load % if you had the MHz part of the plug in disabled but it's all better now.
