All zeroes with correct sensor ID's and Instances #30

Sorry if i'm just being dumb, but I followed the HWiNFO instructions and the troubleshooting section, but my temps all read 0 and my GPU meter reads 0 for everything. eljibzg 1

The hex values in the HWiNFO Config tool seem to all be correct so I don't know what to check. I actually didn't have to change anything from the default values when I downloaded the skin so there is probably something small I am missing somewhere. I have the .NET Framework 4.6.2 so that seems fine.

I think i made the correct smv dump (from the about HWiNFOSharedMemoryViewer window) SMV Dump.txt

raiguard commented 7 years ago

Hmm... Can you try restarting both HWiNFO and Rainmeter? If that doesn't work, please open the Rainmeter log (right-click Rainmeter's tray icon and click "About") and tell me what that says?

EDIT: What version are you on? v1.1.0 or v1.2.0-beta.1?

Azwraith42 commented 7 years ago

after a restart it still doesn't work. In the about for Rainmeter, most of the errors are "Plugin: Unable to load "HWiNFO" (error 126)" with a few "Plugin: Unable to load "ActiveNet" (error 126)"

I'm on the 1.2.0 beta

Azwraith42 commented 7 years ago

I looked up the error, and it was saying I was missing .dll's So i reran the .rmskin file and the temperatures are working now. I figured I was doing something stupid, but my CPU fan is reading -9102RPM.

I think i found the correct, CPU fan sensor, but HWiNFO tool can't find it.

Azwraith42 commented 7 years ago

And restarting it fixed it... Although the HWiNFO Config tool still has that sensor as red and flagged as not found, but the value is updating in real time like it should be.

Well, glad to know it works now! I'll look into the HWiNFO tool incorrectly reporting an error for the motherboard values.

raiguard commented 7 years ago

I have a request: Could you go into Skins/ModernGadgets/@Resources/Settings/GlobalSettings.inc and see if the auto fill for core temp IDs worked properly (compare the values with those in the SMV)? I have a feeling that it didn't work correctly for all threads.

Azwraith42 commented 7 years ago

Looks like you're right. in GlobalSettings.inc CPU 0 DTS lists core 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8 as ID's 0x1000000 - 0x1000009. (I think the two 8's are just a comment, the variable name is core 9).

In the SMV those ID's are for Core #0 - #5 and then Core #0 Distance to TjMAX - Core #3 Distance to TjMAX.

I'm not sure how to manually set these up. I can assume it's splitting my 6 cores into 12 virtual cores, but I don't know which is which.

raiguard commented 7 years ago

Ah, ok. That's what I expected to see. You don't need to change anything. Thanks!

Here's a quick rundown of how the correlations work: In HWiNFO, "Core 0" is what is shown as "Core 1" in CPU Meter. For the temperatures, there is only one sensor per physical core, not per virtual core. So since you have 6 physical cores, it only has temperature sensors for cores 0-5. Therefore, since each physical core in your CPU has two virtual cores, "Core 0 Temperature" in HWiNFO shows up under Core 1 and Core 2 in the gadget.

Does that make sense?

EDIT: I notice your fan sensor isn't working in CPU meter. I guess the value was incorrect after all.

Azwraith42 commented 7 years ago

Yeah that makes sense.

I looked for the motherboard that has the cpu fan sensor, and it wasn't in the list. I restarted both HWiNFO and Rainmeter. and now it's there and the fan is being read, but the Motherboard listing in the config tool is still red.

this happened last time too. restarting both applications fixed it before too. It's not like the ID is changing value, I looked through the SMV list and it was missing.

raiguard commented 7 years ago

If that's what is happening, then it's definitely a HWiNFO issue. I would submit a bug report to the HWiNFO website.

Any other queries you need answered, or am I good to close the issue?

Azwraith42 commented 7 years ago

No i'm satisfied. feel free to close it. Thank you for all your help. I greatly prefer this skin over others. Everything else just looks so outlandish and gaudy. Thank you.

Wow, thanks! Having a simple and pleasing interface was the main goal of this suite. :D
