Coretemeter: another precise core temperature measurement. LOL!

[VVJ]

Hi there!

Just would like to inform you guys I have finished my new tiny tool to visualize the temperature as a diagram measured by the on-die thermal sensor of the AMD64 processors. I have created this piece of crap in two days just for fun. It was very interesting to me how the core temperature looks like. Well, I think it will be interesting to you as well. So, I called the tool by Coretemeter. It is small in size and should be handy for everybody from AMD fun team.

Currently Coretemeter supports both dual-core and single-core AMD64 processors. Here is the screenshot for the dual-core processor:



And here is for the single-core one:



Coretemeter scales the core temperature flexibly. You can adjust the temperature in any range you want.

Here is the link to beta 3: http://cbid.amdclub.ru/files/corterm4.zip So, enjoy!

Cool!!
CoreTemp crashed my system for some reasons i wont find out
D/ling now :P

[pcfreak]

looks nice! thanks a lot

[davidletterboyz]

Ok it works great....havent crash so far LOL

Does this differ in any way from how Core Temp reads temperatures?

[VVJ]

EniGmA1987, there is only one way to read the temperature of the AMD64 processor measured by its thermal diode – to read the Thermtrip Status Register. If you are a programmer you can check this stuff. A source code is enclosed. This article is also useful.

ooo i really like this, any chance that it will read temps on a athlon xp? I dont know how all that works but im gona be puttin one together for my pops and i wanted to be able to check the temps somehow.

[supa-fly]

Will this work with Intel CPU's too, or only for AMD?

Unfortunately, an Athlon XP doesn't have an appropriate register to read the temperature.

supa-fly, at work I have a notebook based on Intel Core Duo T2400 processor. I’m not a fan of Intel, but maybe I will try to get a free time to mess with its products as well.

Hi there!

Yesterday I got an idea to add an adjustment for temperature reading. Now you can select a reading frequency under the Drawing Range submenu:



The 10 sec command option causes Coretemeter to read the core temperature 6 times per second! Also, this means the program will draw vertical grid lines every 10 seconds. Besides, you can select 30 sec (the reading is 2 times per second) and 60 sec (the reading is 1 time per second).

There is a possibility to adjust a priority for the core temperature reading as well. Download here.

Have fun!

I tried the "10 sec" option and my comp shut down like 2 secs after I choosed it, wtf.

[VVJ]

RPGWiZaRD
Hm, strangely. That option works great for my home Socket-754 Sempron 3400+ proc.

[bldegle2]

Tried it, immediately froze system, WTF?

Opty 165 on DFI NF4. Fresh clean install.

Removed it without a problem after reboot. Methinks a bit more testing needs to be done......doesn't hurt the system, just a small inconvienence.

It works with a 754 system, but 939??? Maybe a problem with the thermistor readout on 939...............

Laterz,

[david901101]

Absolutely no problem with my system in the sign...

Great program!

[Gam3Ra]

Don't work on C2D

[Mekrel]

Read the thread, it's not supposed to support C2D

[VVJ]

bldegle2
I suspect that problem is related to the dual-core AMD64 processors only. And it doesn’t matter what socket they use absolutely. Perhaps, there is a temperature reading threshold for dual-core processors that differs from a single-core one. 6 times per second is the critical frequency that causes the system with a dual-core CPU to freeze or reboot.

Nice little program! THX! Works fine so far on my A64 Mobile 2800+ in a DFI LP NF3 250GB.

[AsAsIn8eR]

Nice program.I love it.Does it read the core as CoreTemp?

[kemo]

Just a question
Why it keep fluctuating even @ ideal

[VVJ]

celemine1Gig, thanks for the notice!

AsAsIn8eR, yes, it does. Coretemeter reads with the same manner.

kemo6600, sorry, but I’m not an expert on core temperature :-) BTW, according to your screenshot, you should increase a top threshold for the temperature up to 35 degrees Celsius or higher. Please, look at 12-13 time range on the screenshot – the temperature has been drawn incorrectly.

it would be awesum to use on my g15 lcd screen

Hey, really nice program. Just a few suggestions:
1: Is there a way we can minimize it to the system tray?
2: Is there anyway that this can automatically detect the cpu it is reading?
3: Anyway we can export the results to Excel?
4: Make the window resizeable?
And one questions:
What happens after it reaches the end? Like how can I go back and check what the temps were?
Thanks for your work on this really nice piece of software

[kemo]

Changed the top threshold for the temperature
Still going up and down

[VVJ]

Just a few suggestions:

1. There will be no way to minimize to the system tray. Maybe later.
2. No, there isn’t, because it will bring me to update a CPU model base in the future. It is updated for the only CPU ID tool known as Central Brain Identifier.
3. Maybe.
4. I will think about that.

What happens after it reaches the end? Like how can I go back and check what the temps were?

The program can’t remember all the readings so far.

Please note I have created this tool for fun, not for commercial needs

But looks much better, indeed! ;-)
