Open Hardware Monitor

Thx for the feedback RollingThunder. Have you tried the DFI Smartguardian tool for you mainboard?

http://img.lanparty.tw/Upload/Driver/CM/DKP45SG_R2.ZIP

If this works for your board it would be great if you can post a screenshot and an OpenHardwareMonitor.Report.txt created more or less at the same time. This could be usefull if I will start adding more voltages for specific mainboards.

I have just create a new Release Version 0.1.22-beta which adds support for the Winbond W83627THF mainboard sensor chip and the option to start the OHM minimized. Beside a few minor fixes, I have increased the TjMax by 10°C for Intel 65nm CPUs. Earlier I used the last published "TjTarget" values as TjMax. Now TjMax is TjTarget + 10°C which seemd to fit better on some CPUs. Any feedback from the TjMax specialists on this would be great.

Michael,

Smart Guardian fixed my unknown temp guessing, thank you very much. :thup:

Tjmax info... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=179044

Looooooooong thread, but IIRC, somewhere around 11-12/08 there was some very valuable information posted.

Here is some official Intel documentation, but know it doesnt seem to be an exact value. http://intel.wingateweb.com/taiwan08/published/sessions/TPWS002/FA08 IDF-Taipei_TPWS002_Nov_1006.pdf

I hope that helps!

OpenHardwareMonitor seems to be working well, with one minpr oddity: in the section Winbond W83667HG-B -> Temperatures I have Auxillary and System items, but a third - CPU - appears every few seconds, stays for a perhaps and second and then disappears for about 1 to 10 seconds. It says that the CPU is at about -40C...the temperatures in the Intel Core i3-530 section seem fine.

Thanks for this programme mmoeller, I like it a lot.

Edit: Comparing the CPU temperature to Asus's PC Probe II suggests that OHM is measuring it as about 5C lower.

mmoeller · Feb 23, 2010

@EarthDog: Thx for the link.

@GeoffX: Thx for your report. In your case the fan controller in the Winbond chip reads the PECI Agent of the CPU for a temperature delta below TCC Activation. Since this can not be directly converted into a temperature (problem very similar to core temps and TjMax), I do not display that value. I try then to read from the external CPU diode, but the random values you see suggests that there is no extra CPU temp diode (just the PECI Agent of the CPU). So I guess in that case I will just not display the CPU temp at all.

When comparing an earlier version of OHM to Asus Probe II, does the value displayed in OHM for Winbond / CPU change as well, when you start Asus Probe? Someone has seen this, and I think it is caused by Asus Probe changing the reference temperature (TBase) which is added to the temperature delta of the PECI Agent.

GeoffX · Feb 24, 2010

Speedfan seems to agree with Asus's PC Probe II over the CPU's temperature. The voltages and other temperatures all appear to match.

Speedfan and PC Probe II are reporting a generic CPU temperature, while you have them for individual cores. I presumed these to be the same sensor, but suspect I'm wrong to do that.

I've tried version 0.1.17.0 beta and that doesn't have the appearing/disappearing problem, and the CPU temperature it displays matches SpeedFan and PC Probe II. But the individual core temperatures are about 5C lower than the latest version.

PC Probe II doesn't display individual core temperatures, while Speedfan has them at ridiculously low values: 7C to 8C. OHM has them at 22C ( old ) and 27C (new). These are with the CPU temperature at 33C and Aux at 20C.

Michael, any plan to implement Intel QST for fan & thermal management in this great program ?

Linky -> http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/Intel_Quiet_System_Technology_Software_Development_Kit/

This feature will be great for user with PWM fan (4 cables) since they can be paralleled together, and also less hassle than supporting those dizzying prorietary IO chips like winbond, ite and etc.

Also bump for a great program here ! :thup:

mmoeller · Apr 20, 2010

I have taken a quick look at Intel QST. The SDK posted there seems to be password protected, but another (older?) version could be opened without password.

From the documentation it seems you can do a many things with this "Quiet System Technology". But I haven't found a clear answer yet to the the questions:

- On which hardware / software setup can you use Intel QST?
- Is it supported on any mainboard with Intel chipset, or only on the mainboards comming directly from Intel?
- Which hardware sensors / fan controllers are actually supported on real systems (it's useles to have support only in theory)
- Where are these sensors located?
- What software / driver is required to use QST (is this available by on a common Windows installation)?
- Are there any problems with software licenses

So right now I do not have yet any plan on supporting QST. But if it is useful to an enough larger number of users (compared to the coding required to support it), then I will add it on the todo list.

Just tried your program for the first time, and it works perfectly on my rig. Nice to not have to use several different utilities.

It says they are all inactive. Perhaps that's b/c I'm running your program via Remote Desktop?

Firestrider · Feb 20, 2011

My board has some kind of obscure sensor ASIC... called the "Heceta-6p" or Andigilog aSC7621. Will there be any support for this?

I looked at my motherboard (Intel DP55WB) technical product specification and it says:

• Voltage sense to detect out of range power supply voltages
• Thermal sense to detect out of range thermal values
• Three fan headers using Heceta 6P fan speed control
• Three fan sense inputs used to monitor fan activity
• Fan speed control using voltage control (4-pin fan headers front, rear, and
processor) with selectable support in BIOS for 3 wire fans
• Support for Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI)

But I've yet to see any utility for Windows support this, only lm-sensors: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2008-May/023257.html

mmoeller · Feb 23, 2011

@copen: yes the GPU is disabled when using remote desktop. If you start the Open Hardware Monitor from a local session, then you should see it.

@Firestrider: We still miss support for the SMBus, so if there will ever be any support, it won't be very soon.

bing · Feb 23, 2011

Michael, is it possible to enable the charting feature for all those voltage readings ? So not only for the temp.

mmoeller · Feb 28, 2011

The plotting feature is implemented for temperatures only right now. But this is something very high up on the todo list.

mmoeller · Apr 24, 2011

New release: Open Hardware Monitor 0.3.0 Beta with many smaller problems fixed and support for newer hardware.

After this version I can (hopefully) focus on improving the GUI and adding new features.

Yes !!! Hoping the log & chart features will get a major facelift ! :thup:

Another request if there is still a slot which is ability to change the scale of the resolution of the chart X axis like second, minute and hour.

Thank you so much for your dedication in this great program. :attn:

Catscratch · May 15, 2011

This is the only application I use to check clocks and temps. There's only 1 thing missing thou and it's the +12v from Fintek F71882. I guess it's not the best controller out there since even MSI's own program shows 9v and. Everest and AMD Overdrive shows 12.4v

And a lot more people will stop using other software if there were
-Logging
-Any data on Plot. Mainly to see if GPU is switching speeds, and to troubleshoot Turbo Core behavior, gpu+cpu usage etc.

Anyway, thanks for this nice program.

RollingThunder · Nov 22, 2011

Michael,

Latest version does not show temps in taskbar boxes (XP Pro - sig below). Numbers are blank.

Appears to be related to .Net framework update.

tikithorsen · Sep 2, 2012

On the present date, I find the program to be better then HWMonitor, IMHO.
¡I definitely vouch for it!
