Found a bug: it's reading a system with an i7 870 as an i5 750, MB is ASUS P7H55-M. Reading the CPU clocks OK.



CPU-z 1.56 reads it OK

[Mumak]

Have you changed the Max CPU ratio in the BIOS?

Yes, max ratio is 20x

It was OK on i5 540 and 980-X, not tested on any others yet.

[Mumak]

And that's the reason.. HWiNFO32 doesn't identify the CPU model based on CPUID string, but on various characteristics. For Nehalem CPUs when you change the Max Ratio, there's no way how to determine what's the original value for that CPU.. This is a pretty damn feature, I'm not sure if they made it by intention.. I was searching for a workaround but haven't found one yet

Surely 4 cores, 8 threads is a dead give-away that it's an 800 series i7 rather than a 700 series i5

[Mumak]

Sure, I need to make a patch for such situation..

[Mumak]

It's fixed. Let me know if anyone has this issue and wants to test the fix.

Thanks alot for the new build .
The hide function is great.

I think i found a bug though.
Disable nVidia I2C reading in the main config and it still appears in the sensors on next run even though it's disabled.

I noticed it because there's the nvidia i2c and the nvapi ver's of pretty much the same sensors.
The i2c low level ver has less info, so I tried to disable it with the config and it still shows up.

Disabling the sensor from in the sensor dialog and hiding it works though.
Works good enough.

Just figuered I'de mention that the main config, nv i2c checkbox seems to have no effect.


Can you add a checkbox in the main dialog config for some kind of sensor stand alone mode that doesn't have access to the main dialog?
So only the sensor dialog shows up in the tray icon, as well as left clicking it.
Also closing the sensor dialog should close the whole program in that type of case.
Perhaps the main config could be entered into from the tray icon right click context menu, so this sensor stand alone mode could be disabled incase you needed it to, that and to config the methods of accessing the sensors.

It's just something I'de like to see because I don't use the info part of the program, I just use the sensors.

At the moment I have it so it hides the main dialog on startup and opens the sensor dialog, which is close but not quite the same as a stand along like sensor program.
(I don't mind that it has the ability to tell you system info, I just don't want it in my face )

Oh one more bug.
Closing the sensor dialog with the close button on top of the sensor window does not save the current config for the sensor dialog.
If you use the close button that says "Close" on the bottem of the window it does save the config.
It's not a new bug, I just double checked and it still effects it too so I figured I better tell ya.

Replacing that top close button to one that works correctly and adding a minimize button next to it would be nice (getting rid of some of the buttons on the lower portion of the dialog).

Sorry for all of the req's.
And thanks alot for the new build .

[Mumak]

I have checked the GPU I2C option and it should work. The I2C via NVAPI just tells to use NVAPI instead of low-level code to access I2C devices on GPU (which is the prefered option).
According to the behaviour it seems that the sensor values you see do not come from an I2C device, but internal devices instead - there can be external sensors via I2C or internal and the I2C options have influence only on the external ones. Maybe you can post a screenshot of your config so I'm sure.

I have been already thinking about the Sensor stand-alone option, but I think HWiNFO32 can be easily configured to such mode (even if not 100% ideal). I'll keep this idea in my mind.

The sensor closing is by intention - to have a chance in case somebody mades a mistake in the config and doesn't want to save it.

[NEOAethyr]

Ok what happens is I unselect gpu i2c in the main options.
I figured that would completely disable the low level i2c access to the gpu in the sensors but it doesn't .

Reason for trying was to remove the 1st set of gpu sensors, that are duplicated in the nvapi ver of it.
But that was a nogo, the new hide option has the same effect I was looking for however.

Normally I'de opt for the low level access ver of a sensor but the nvapi ver of it had a bit more to it and was a bit more useful on this specific card.



This is my dfi ut 790fx-m2r board with a dual core.
Didn't change any sensor names.
Only hide 4 of the gpu sensor's from the nvapi (usage % and stuff like that).

In the main options dialog you can see that I have the gpu i2c setting disabled and that the sensor dialog still has it.


Edit:
Oh yeah now that I'm looking at it.
The program has a slight bug with my fan sensors on this board.
Note the 10rpm readings.
All of those are 0rpm.
I don't really mind so much though, this board isn't exactly anything special.

[Mumak]

The GPU readings you see don't come from external sensors which are accessed via I2C, so that's why the GPU I2C option has no influence on them.
This GPU I2C option was meant only as a safety option since on some machines it may cause troubles.
I'm displaying both GPU sensor sets because in some cases the NVAPI might not be available (like via RDP) or in case there would be differences.
Now with the sensor hiding anyone can choose what to ignore...
The ATI PM2 values are displayed completely although they are very specific to each mainboard model and hard to detemine if they are valid at all. I included them just in case. Will fix the 10 RPM issue to show 0 RPM instead.

Nice tool. Lots of info.

Thanks.

[FlanK3r]

heh, thx, downloading it to the my laptop too

[NEOAethyr]

Thanks for the new ver.
The sensor only mode is nice, I like how you put summery option in there.

I noticed something odd with your program, effects everest/aida64 too.
With the fsb clock of my asus crosshair iv.

They aren't detecting the active power state with there multi/vid and such.
Right now thinks I'm locked at 14x, when I'm idling at 4x.

I can tell what multiplier my cores are at with tmonitor.
Your program picks up on "some" of the cpu core speed changes, but it doesn't change the multiplier, so what it does change is the fsb/ref clock, per core, then only showing one wacked result.

For a while it had me confused (aida64 and everest), pretty sure now it's a bug.
I can get screen shots later if you need them, I'm kinda tired right now .

[Mumak]

Yes, please attach or send me a screenshot so I can see exactly what happens there.
Anyway, what do you mean with "active power state" ? Do you mean the On-Demand Clock Modulation Duty Cycles? Since I'm sure a ratio of 4x is not possible on SNB (which would result in 400 MHz clock and that's way below the LFM).
