Temperature of SSD showing in gadget but not in main window since hardware change #480

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I recently swapped my motherboard with another one, simultaneously replacing my 
SSD with a new one. Now the program thought one of my HDDs was a SSD because 
the HDD has moved up in the Gadget where the SSD used to be and did not display 
a temperature. The new SSD however now always shows a temperature of 30C while 
that temperature cannot be measured by any other tool and isn't listed in the 
main window; only on the gadget.

File > Reset does not appear to solve the issue. I'll try to reinstall the 
program.

I'm using 0.5.1beta on a legal (I know, it's rare) Win7 64bit HomePremium 
system.

Here is a screenshot of the issue:

This is a rare combination of several issues. Some Kingston SSDs have 
temperature sensors while others don't. Still all of them provide a temperature 
sensor value in the SMART data. The Open Hardware Monitor reads this value 
(because some users want it) but as it is unsure if the value is valid, it is 
added only as "hidden" sensor. The "hidden" sensor can be shown in the main GUI 
with View -> Show Hidden Sensors. With the sensor visible in the main GUI you 
can "Unhide" it or remove it from the gadget. Some time in the future there 
might be an option to remove sensors directly from the gadget using a context 
menu (like sensors shown in the system tray). 

I can see that the user interface is not really ideal for this scenario atm, 
but I am not sure if it is a good idea to change anything directly for this.

It appears you are right. The value is stuck on 30C eventhough external 
measurements say different. The value was hidden. One more problem I 
encountered: The SSD is now on the bottom of the gadget while it always was the 
first of the storage devices.
