Soft/Freeware CPU Temp Capture Event Processing
Old standby, SpeedFan, on this octal. Along with Core Temp (author
Libeman). Both in the system tray. SpeedFan, however and for whatever reason I'm sticking an older version, just monitors HDDs (one mechanical and some SSDs);- It may not handle a somewhat newer AMD. But what happened, with my sticking crap into the CPU cooler, also then while running Core Temp, was basically a travesty. Screwing around, after the fact, with its monitoring for an event generation was neither productive (I could evoke a response from an overheat condition);- obviously, obliviously, I didn't notice Core Temp at the time the CPU cooler was stopped. (What grabbed me, initially and aside about Core Temp was it's attempt to deal with offsets AMD now uses in reporting obtuse CPU temperature readings. A facsimile perhaps closer to allusions of AMD measures.) Which, my newest, HWINFO (Author Martin Malk), apparently doesn't concern himself, farther beyond the author's mention, that the various other chipset thermistors mounted on a MB, are "probably" more indicative of what's going on, generally, with AMD's reporting of CPU temps. What Martin does do is provide a good event generation, either reporting in excess of a setpoint temperature, along with generating a valid program response in that event. What's weird, though, is after setup up HWINFO (portable standalone programming), looking over for testing it works, Core Temp subsequently quit working. I mean period, as if it was locked out. Loverly, now with HWINFO, where the ambient temp is likely to be in the 60's, Fahrenheit, and can range upwards, by 50 or degrees beyond on an actual load to that particular AMD FX-quad. That could be, say, 115, maybe120F: I've HWINFO set to 105F to generate a warning, whereas MB support chipsets appear correctly reading closer to 130F -- in their loaded extremity, depending on a particular chipset, of a possible four or five MB thermistors HWINFO is picking up. Split the above differences, or just grab aholt a CoolerMaster heatwicks for simplicity and AMD's sake. But I do like the fact that with HWINFO I generate anything from red screen, fearful sounds from a class D 200-watt, that's always left on, or a sensible program to cause the computer to shut itself down. (Core Temp didn't do worth a good damn in that respect.) I hadn't really concerned myself with HWINFO, other than setting aside from a possible good reputation, up to this point. Looks to be it cuts up to the grade of a MB sensor at least. |
