ASUS P6T temperature errors #316

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The expected CPU temperature is 48 C (see BIOS.jpg attached). Instead I am 
seeing 66 C (see OpenHardwareMonitor.Report.txt attached).

I don't know what to expect for auxiliary temperature. I am seeing -8.5 C which 
seems strange. (see OpenHardwareMonitor.Report.txt attached).

I am using 0.0.0 Beta on 32 bit Windows 7.

The HD temps seem strange - E.G. - OpenHardwareMonitor.Report.txt shows 34 34 
34 for WDC WD5001AALS-00L3B2 (/hdd/0) and 30 30 30 for WDC WD5001AALS-00L3B2 
(/hdd/2)

BTW - the OpenHardwareMonitor.exe window lists "Value" and "Max" while the 
OpenHardwareMonitor.Report.txt lisst values - I assume the 2 of them are 
"Value" and "Max", but I am not sure which 2. What is the 3rd value?

The CPU temperature you see in the BIOS is the CPU core temperature minus an 
offset (most likely the offset is subtracted for fan control, or to get more of 
a head spreader temperature value). Since the Open Hardware Monitor reads 
already the correct core temperature directly from the CPU, the wrong CPU 
"temperature" value from the W83667HG (which is the same as in the BIOS) is not 
shown.

I have added a mainboard specific configuration for the ASUS P6T which now 
should also hide the unused auxiliary temperature. Also the fans should be 
labeled correctly, and all the voltages should be displayed. Please test with 
this new version:

http://openhardwaremonitor.org/files/openhardwaremonitor-v0.4.0.1-alpha.zip

What is strange about the HDD temperatures? A difference of 4 degree is not 
uncommon when they are stacked and one of the two gets more airflow.

The thrid value in the report is "Min". You can show the "Min" value also in 
the GUI if you like (View -> Columns -> Min).

Please report with the new version if all is correct now.

I tried to post this comment on Issue #316 but the post did not seem to
work:

I checked the changes that you made - aux temp is gone and fans are
labelled correctly. I checked the min box and I see that the Min, Max and
Value columns all read the same except for a few cases - see attached
report. The max CPU temp is 75 C as reported in BIOS - I know this because
I had a fan blockage which raised the CPU temp to 80 C, which was displayed
in red. The MB gives a warning when you reboot with an overtemp.

I cleared the blockage and watched the BIOS as the temp dropped. When it
hot 75 C the red text changed to blue. Assuming approx 20 C offset such as
you mentioned then the "real" max temp would be about 95 C.

The Min and Max column show the minimum and maximum the actual value (Value 
column) reached since you started the Open Hardware Monitor (or you clicked 
Reste Min/Max).

The max core temperature your CPU can reach before hardware throttling starts 
is 100°C (you can see this as TjMax parameter in the report). But of course 
you should not get close to this TjMax to be sure your hardware isn't getting 
damaged.
