Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

Logfile or CSV's not being created in 2.84

I thought it worked.

Why not try the latest beta so I don't have to waste my time tracking down a bug that either may not exist or has already been fixed if it did exist?

http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/...alTempBeta.zip

RealTemp used to cache the log file for a default interval of 5 minutes. The default is down to 60 seconds now. I'm old school and not a big fan of thrashing people's hard drives every second when some new data becomes available. If you can't afford to miss out on any data then open up the RealTemp.ini file and use:

HDWrite=1

and then every second the data should be written to the log file. You can set that value to however many seconds you like. I can't remember what version I added that feature to RealTemp but my friend Google says it was version 2.69.8

Version 2.90 produced a nice Excel .CSV file for me about 2 minutes ago so I know if there was a bug, it seems to be gone now.

I just finished adding an interesting new feature tonight. Unfortunately the fileden site is down at the moment so I can't share it. Maybe tomorrow.
Hint: Users with Nvidia cards might like the new feature.

shazza: Thanks for posting that. The Core i7 sensors are NOT full of problems like the 45nm Core 2 sensors. Yours look pretty normal. After a quick glance the slopes of all 4 sensors look very similar. I think the real difference from core to core is slight differences in TJMax which Intel says is part of the manufacturing process.

day187: I finally bought a G15 a few months ago but it's sitting on the things to do pile. I hope to get a plug-in done for that or a RivaTuner plug-in done sometime in the not too distant future.

fileden site is OK,just check

Thanks Unclewebb! I thought about grabbing that but just wanted to ask first incase I missed that it had been removed since x.xx version kinda thing ya know.

Will grab latest Beta now


*Pre-post edit*

CSV is working, Log is not. Or will it just create one or the other? Just trying to collect some quick data for my own thoughts about blocks before I switch them here shortly

[OverDozeD]

I just downloaded this soft, but that's difference with everest temps. here's scr
Which 1 shuold I believe?

[burebista]

Take latest beta and you'll match Everest readings.
It's about TJMax, 95 (RT 2.70) vs. 100 (Everest).

burebista
Thanks bro

I finally bought a G15 a few months ago but it's sitting on the things to do pile. I hope to get a plug-in done for that or a RivaTuner plug-in done sometime in the not too distant future.

uncle, i played around with rivatuner plugins. used igor's c2d plugin as base and removed tjmax detection as he used the old msr method to get tjmax which we all know is not the best way to do. modified it to be able to change tjmax via a cfg file to be able to configure the plugin for different processors.

a nice additional feature is the ability to display rivatuner monitoring values directly on the g15. a few clicks and its running. no need to invent the wheel a second time.

anyway, i used visual studio 2008 standard edition. having visual studio set up and an example at hand a plugin can be done within minutes! pm me for more info.

[burebista]

fgw I give you a lot of virtual beers/whatever you drink if you help uncle to make that RivaTuner plugin.

[unclewebb]

CSV is working, Log is not.

It's an option. You can create your log file as a text file OR as a CSV file so it's easier to import into Excel.

I look forward to getting RealTemp working with RivaTuner. After months of begging, I think burebista wouldn't mind that either.

Oh man, I dunno if I should go into a church and pray or into a bar and drink.

Why not combine the two and bring a bottle to church. It's Wednesday, they probably have a bingo game or a poker game going on there in the back.

I thought I was done with the RC versions but then I found a minor bug or two and while I was fixing, I decided now was a good time to add on another feature or two.

I've added GPU Temperature monitoring to RealTemp but only if you're using an Nvidia card.

If you want to know everything there is to know about your graphics card then GPU-Z or RivaTuner would be my first choice.
If you just need a quick look at your GPU temperature, then RealTemp might be good enough.



I didn't want to re-design the GUI for this feature so CPUID info will change to GPU info a few seconds after start up.
If you hover the mouse just below this new information for 5 seconds, you should see something like this pop-up:



Nothing too fancy. If you have an Nvidia card and don't want any GPU temperature information then use this in the INI file:

NoGPU=1

RealTemp is designed so it will report the highest GPU temperature when using SLI. If you have 2 or 3 cards, hopefully it will find and report the highest GPU temp. If you use SLI, post a screen shot of RealTemp along with another monitoring program to show that this is working properly.

The second alarm in RealTemp has been changed so that now you can monitor and shutdown your computer independently based on either your CPU temperature or your GPU temperature. rge thought that would be a good idea since he's lost one graphics card too many due to a water cooling failure.

The log file should contain an extra column now with GPU temperature info. It will be the column on the far right.

There is also an extra system tray icon now for GPU temperatures and that should show Min/Max/Avg like the other tray icons.

There was a fix or two for Atom processors and a fix for Core i7 when two cores are disabled in the bios. Probably not too many people who would want to do that but RealTemp should report the correct number of cores now when this happens and hyper threading is enabled. I also added a feature so the Clock Modulation setting will be saved when RealTemp exits and restored when the program starts. A laptop owner told me he needed this to protect his important parts. When RealTemp is not running, Clock Modulation is NOT enabled.

OK, I think 2.90 is finally finished. Unless I hear about some more bugs.

gpu monitoring support is welcomed, since when gaming the cpu and gpu temps would be the only ones most people would look at.

would be great if realtemp also monitored the cpu fan speed.

[Kashelz]

Its nice, that I can test now Sensor Test on mobile CPU too in RC8, thanks

Before on some beta or 2.70 I think it was disabled, but now all works fine, thanks. My lappy with E8300 showed movement 9 and 22

[SportsFanBoy]

That's a great update Uncle, thanks... I was going to use the EVGA precision tool to monitor gpu temps in games, but seeing it on the screen bothered me. Now I can check the gpu and cpu log file after without seeing extra stuff on screen. You the man!!

[i43]

Thanks Uncle ! - for updates & New features

just noticed ( compare RT v2.90 RC1 - to-> RT v2.90 RC8 @ the moment )

RC8 does not show ( chnanges in readouts ) when SpeedStep ( Eist / C1E )
is down-clocing CPU .. don't know was it it just designed so ?

Any way - thats no problem for my self ... just let You know .. if it makes sense ..

[unclewebb]

Kashelz: I decided to stop playing the nanny and opened up the sensor test to mobile CPUs. If it was my laptop, I probably wouldn't run the CPU Cool Down Test on a mobile chip but any computer should be able to handle a couple of minutes of Prime95 without going ka-boom. After the first test, the load and temps will start to drop so everything should be OK. The final results might not be as meaningful due to the fact that desktop computers tend to have a lot better CPU cooling than laptops do.

SportsFanBoy: Thanks. After a game you should be able to go to your system tray and check out your maximum GPU and CPU temps. The pop-up when you hover your mouse for 5 seconds just below where the GPU 43C info is displayed will also let you know what the temps got up to. Place the mouse where the blue arrow is in the picture on the previous page. (post 3049)

i43: Thanks for noticing that. I changed one small thing during testing and forgot to change it back. I'll get that fixed up so it works like before.

Unclewebb,

I noticed that in the latest beta TJMax for the QX6800 B3 has changed from 85C to 100C. What's up?

Thanks!

[Draxx]

ATI temps would be nice

[fgw]

uncle, check your e-mail!

[shazza]

hmmnnn ... downloaded the latest version of 2.90, and now I can only see 2 cores on my i7 920 ...

Previously, rge had a problem where RealTemp was showing 4 cores for his Core i7 940 even though he had two of them turned off in the bios. I came up with a fix for him that took care of that problem but maybe my fix is still a work in progress. When you run CPU-Z does it show 4 cores / 8 threads? Post or send me a screen shot of CPU-Z and RealTemp so I can have a look.

ATI temps would be nice

I was wondering to myself yesterday, "I wonder how long it's going to take someone to ask me to include ATI GPU temps." Not long at all!

fgw: Thanks for the info.

drminer: I noticed that in the latest beta TJMax for the QX6800 B3 has changed from 85C to 100C. What's up?

Can you post or send me a screen shot of CPU-Z and RealTemp? CPU-Z shows me the ID string that RealTemp reads to determine your CPU version. I can't remember changing anything lately so I need to have a look. Does RealTemp still detect your CPU as a QX6800? Also try clicking on the Defaults button in the Settings window to see if that changes anything.

[shazza]

Thanks for the quick response! CPU-Z shows 4 cores. Also, here are screenshots of OCCT and my new Real Temp:

Works OK for me.

[shazza]

I'm back to showing four cores with the newest version of RT ...

I had HyperThreading disabled when I only saw two cores. Enabled HT, and now seeing all four again I should have realized this since CPU-Z showed 4 cores, 4 threads, but thanks to uncle's help ... I've got that part straightened out:
