unclewebb: Here's how 2.71 looks next to 2.70 on Vista x64 and default Aero theme:

Hey, i'm always available to you :P Vista of course :)
Looks fine though i see only Vista Basic theme right now through remote control. Btw, that button for more info above... Maybe if you'd add text "More" or "More..." on it or something like that to indicate at least a bit what it does or why it's there.
Oh and replace that "PROCHOT#" text with "CPU Thermal Status" or "Processor Thermal Status" text.
Thanks guys for your quick testing. I just did a major upgrade of the software development kit (SDK) I'm using from 1998 to 2004. The rounded buttons look a little more this century. The transition looks very smooth so far. Just making sure that I didn't create some issue somewhere.
Features with 2.71 include the Reset option in the System Tray menu and when you hover the mouse above the Minimum or Maximum temperature the date of that temperature should pop up. The date is also included in the log file now.
Adjustable colors for the gui should be added quickly now. Most of the testing of this new feature is done.
Thanks RejZoR. Good suggestions as always. With the present C++ compiler I'm using I won't be able to add the Vista features you'd like. Support for it ended at XP-SP2. At least RT doesn't look like Win98 any more!
To really polish it out, you only have to change text strings as i suggested above and remove that Font option in settings as it serves no purpose for now.
Other than that it's lock and loaded for IDF ;)
PROCHOT# is the official Intel term but I agree that most users will have a wtf moment when they see that. PROCHOT will be retired in 2.72.
The Font option gives me some different Fonts in the System Tray. I wish there were more fonts available that are readable at that size but there isn't. I tried using the ClearType option but at that size they tend to get screwed up.
swwwweeet thanks unclewebb :up:
Unclewebb, ok, if you don't find that feature usable, but "CPU Thermal Status (PROCHOT)" would also do it.
Looking good... :up:
So far, no issues.

It happened to me also. It usually happens when you just log off and on, not when you do a full reboot.
Are you using Task Scheduler in Vista? Approximately what percentage of the time doesn't it start minimized. I built some delay into RealTemp but I might need to slow it down some more for better compatibility. Try downloading the latest beta since there was a major change in the libraries, etc. that RT uses.

Version 2.72 has the smallest change ever. The cryptic PROCHOT# has been replaced by Thermal Status.
Hey Unc!
Just loaded up 2.71 yesterday as I was anxious to test the date/time logging. (I'm the one suggested it over @ [H] "nomad8u"). Everything works great except the log. I love the fonts and ProcHot change.
Maybe this log issue I see is by design IDK.
This is how it's logging for me. It looks to be doing 5 date/time logs (set for 180 sec) and then re-logs the same data using just time? I just copied the last several entries out of the log. I shut down Rt and renamed the log and restarted it. It is doing the same thin on this go around.Code:8/14/2008 23:18:00 49 47 46 43

Other than that it's looking good! Thought I'd jump over here and post this after you're agg with posting links and crap over there. Sorry to see you had issues with the forum there. I do appreciate you stopping by there though and answering questions...

gbeans99: Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Is it possible that you were running both version 2.70 and 2.71 at the same time in the same directory? If they were both running from the same directory and logging to the same file then your log file would look like a mess!
I'll go have a look at the code for this to see if I can find a problem on my side.
This app is really shaping well. What about "More" or "More..." text on button next to the CPU frequency?
Also it happened quiet few times that both core trey icons were split apart by some other icon. Is there any possibility to always force them together when using 2 or more cores? It's a very minor thing but may bother some (like me :P ).
RejZoR: The way I look at it, anyone that is computer literate enough to be interested in the core temperature of their processor is not going to be too scared to go and give that little button in the top right corner of RealTemp a poke to see what happens. Especially if they've seen a screen shot or two with other information being displayed there. At your suggestion, I made it a little bigger and I think it looks great and is reasonably intuitive. No long term users of RealTemp have ever approached me and said, "Well holy s-h-i-t, I had no idea what that little button did." I like the present cleaned up look.
I've also noticed when booting up that the System Tray icons can get spread apart but that's more of a Windows / multi core processor issue / bug. The only thing I can think of doing with RealTemp is put in a user selectable delay feature so their system would have more time to boot up before RealTemp tried to add its system tray temperature icons.
A quick fix is to open up RealTemp when this happens, click on the Settings button and then cycle one of your displayed cores off and back on to get the tray icons lined up properly. You could also go get a nice new Quad core processor. Throwing money at a problem is always a good idea. :D
Can you not use Task Scheduler to add a small amount of delay before RealTemp starts or can it not be adjusted to a small enough amount of delay time?
gbeans99: I did a similar test to yours where I had the logging feature at 180 seconds / 3 minutes and my log looks fine. The date is on each line as it is supposed to be now.

You can see that a person really needs a Quad core processor to surf the net. Core3 touched like 37C. :rofl:
Well i still think "More..." text on that button would look nicer than button without anything... Or even maybe minimalistic "->" or ">" arrow. Empty buttons just look weird. Always.
unclewebb,
Just saw This on anandtech. So by the 18th, we'll know TjMax for sure???
I try to read 11 of 79 pages (very tried >_<")
but i can't find the answer that the E8400's tjmax is 95'C or 105'C
anyone can confirm that?
sry, for newbie question
and THANK YOU for your answer
95c
I guess we'll find out next week what TjMax really is when Intel finally comes clean. It's very interesting that they plan to use RealTemp in their presentation to finally explain everything there is to know about these sensors.
Is RealTemp right :) or is RealTemp out to lunch? :(
The anticipation is killing me!
Here's my E8400 TjMax test:

RealTelstar: If you're using Vista it seems that Task Scheduler works best.
Let us know the outcome of their preso, good or bad!
Either way it's great that you've brought this type of attention. Great work :up:

looking good on vista in this shot.
