    I8kfanGUI - CPU offset not responding?

    I'm currently using I8kfanGUI which works quite well for my needs: however, setting a CPU temp offset in the advanced controls doesn't seem to change CPU readings at all.

    I have working offsets for the GPU temp, and I've also tested chipset temp offsets to see if they respond (Which they do). However, setting the CPU offset has no reflection on the temp readings. The option will stay in the advanced config (ie it won't reset to 0) but no reflection in the main window.

    For what it's worth (I doubt this really has anything to do with the issue. Seems like software or something stupid I am missing) I'm running an XPS1330 with A11. All other functions are fine.

    Just a bit frustrating: I have correct offsets for GPU temps which match Rivatuner and HwMonitor, but the CPU temp is off by exactly 5c.

    Apologies if this has been brought up before. As a side note, isn't there a search function on these forums?

    There doesn't seem to be a way to correct the CPU temperatures for the M1330 using i8kfangui. Use something like HWmonitor or CoreTemp to measure your CPU measurements. If you want i8kfanGUI to control your fans, set it to turn on the fans according to the GPU temperature.
