I'll take a look, thx.

**Lostfaith** · 01-23-2009, 07:35 AM

awesome tnx for the new release

**Nedjo** · 01-23-2009, 07:41 AM

Congrats on great work!!
BTW
code name for Turion X2 Ultra ZM8x series of AMD's mobile processors is Griffin not Lion

**wesleys_dad** · 01-23-2009, 08:15 AM

Reads my 5000be x2 perfectly on 1 core..second core is off by 10c...can you make it so the offset can be set individually for the cores?
this is such a cool program..you are a smart guy to be able to build this .....

Are you sure, I looked it up on Wikipedia, in 0.99.3 it was Griffin.

I'll look into it, I know this is a problem with many X2s.

Great program finally something that can show the temps on my 65nm Brisbane correctly, AMD Athlon x2 4000+ 2,1ghz @ 300 x 10 = 3000mhz 1,41v

Idletemps was:

Core #0: 31-34
Core #1: 30-33

So i tried running LinX with this and here's the results.

But as above the temps is abit off:

Core #0: 48 - 52
Core #1: 58 - 63

So i can only assume that Core #1 is correct while Core #0 is off, but this only at load, seems to show correctly idle. Never thaught my temps was that high lol.

Also it shows my CPU at 285.75 x 10 = 2857.54mhz and that the voltage is at 1.3000v. CPU-Z shows correctly.

All I can say is keep up the good work!

Core Temp only shows the VID, not actual vcore.
Regarding speed, there is a problem, especially with AMD CPUs... I'm working on it

**Lightman** · 01-23-2009, 11:09 AM

All OK on Phenom II 940BE

yeah it's Griffin

And this is how CoreTemp see it:

Heh, you know that Franck is also human. I will talk to him and try to see who is right on this one.
Either way if he's right I'll fix this.

*EDIT:* Ok I think you're right, I just didn't read that article on wiki correctly. I'll fix this in the upcoming bug fix release. Thanks.

Very nice Coolest, supporting 64 bits is aways a great deal

No VID.
Foxconn Bloodrage mobo G16 bios.

**The Coolest** · 01-23-2009, 05:45 PM

Although this should be in the Intel Core Temp thread. Nehalem does not report VID, so this is not a bug.

That's really not a big problem, but this is:

Vista Ultimate x64, Phenom X3 8750@ 3 GHz, ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe

Previous version is working just fine.

Interesting, you're not the first one to report this problem. I'll take a look and see what could be causing this issue.

**The Coolest** · 01-27-2009, 05:37 AM

This is a Beta bug-fix release. Please report if you find any problems or have any suggestions please let me know so they can be fixed/implemented before the final release.

Version 0.99.4 (Build 75) - 27rd January, 2009

- Add: Show high/low temperatures. (Press F6 or the Tools menu to reset values)
- Add: On/Off switch for G15 applet in Tools menu.

- Fix: Settings window would open centered, and sometimes out of the desktop area.
- Fix: System tray icon very small in Windows 2000/XP/2003.
- Fix: AMD Athlon X2 4x50e series detected as 3x50e.
- Fix: Add support for Mobile Athlon 64 X2 TK-xx series and Turion 64 MK-xx series.
- Fix: Workaround added for when Core Temp fails to find supported CPUs on Phenom based systems.

- Change: Reorganized menu.
- Change: Only detect ES status for Core 2 series. Core i7 and Atom detection was incorrect.
- Change: TjMax for mobile Atom processors changed to 90C.
- Change: "Lion" codename for AMD Turion was changed to "Griffin".

32bit
64bit

Thanx for fix...

This one works for me now. No unknown processor found.

This beta build 0.99.4 is showing good temps with my Brisbane G2(~30ºC idle and ~48ºC full @ 2800MHz 1.30v). Previous versions were showing wrong temps like 5ºC. Can I trust in the temps now? Something have changed to adapt the program to the readings of the internal sensor in Brisbane?

AMD gave info about the sensor :

- Add: AMD AM2+ 65nm processors get a 21c offset to fix incorrect temperature reporting (info from AMD)

**The Coolest** · 01-27-2009, 08:29 PM

They meant AM2 65nm processors, I think I got confused and wrote the wrong socket in the change log

**Oc-Ghost** · 01-28-2009, 02:13 PM

hmm... got plus 21degree on my x2, that´s 67/69 under load. Should I trust the new Core Temp version and check my mount or ignore it ?
(231x13 1,5V)

edit: nvm, checked coretemp forums, set -21 offset. Still going to check hsf mount.

**felix_w** · 01-31-2009, 03:51 AM

I set coretemp to load in startup...after getting into windows, low temp values do not appear (shows 0 deg ) at all unless i reset high/low. Normally lowest temps should be the ones first recorded after startup, correct ?
