Speedfan + T-Balancer + OHM #263

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

It would be great to use OHM instead of Speedfan.
As you may know they cannot be run concurrently.

This is a great shame as I prefer OHM to monitor my system. Once T-Balancer is 
setup to use SWS monitoring OHM is basically ruled out as in order to use it I 
have to close T-Balancer software and speed fan. This renders my automatic fan 
control useless.

I long for the day OHM can take Speedfans place to provide SWS.

Win7 64bit
T-Balancer 2.8
Speedfan 4.44
OHM 0.3.2.0

I run OHM and Speedfan concurrently without any problem.

(WinXP Pro (both 32 and 64 bit versions). This has been the case with several 
different Gigabyte and MSI AM3 motherboards)

I have access to all data, features, reporting, graphing, alarms (supported 
only on Speedfan), etc the same as when I run either program by itself.

The reported data when running simultaneously also remain SELF-consistent with 
the data each reports when each program is running by itself (in other words, 
OHM running while Speedfan is running, reports the same data values OHM does 
when Speedfan is not running)

Yes, Speedfan and the Open Hardware Monitor can both run at the same time 
without problems. The problem here is, that the serial port interface of the 
T-Balancer can be accessed only from one software at a time. At the moment you 
would have to start Speedfan, then the T-Balancer software and the Open 
Hardware Monitor last. In this case the Open Hardware Monitor would just not 
monitor the T-Balancer (as its already in use by another software), but beside 
that you could read everything on the Open Hardware Monitor.

Of course it would be better to reimplement the software fan control for the 
T-Balancer directly in the Open Hardware Monitor. In that case you could drop 
Speedfan and the T-Balancer software.

Thank you for the reply. That does indeed sound like heaven to have the one 
tidy app for all.

I have now managed to implement this and run all three to monitor temps with 
OHM. 
I did have some trouble before though. It was interrupting communication 
between speedfan and Tban somehow and fan speeds were increasing etc.

It seems ok at present.

Is the OHM only build for BigNG something you have in the pipeline?
