Anyone see what's wrong?

I have HW Monitor running in the background usually, regardless of whatever I'm doing. Was just switching between windows and came across this. Note, I was not running games or anything intensive. There were no errors or a shut down either.


Anyone else see what's wrong? :laugh:

 

umm, max 255C??

 

Would never hold up till 255... end of story, deffective sensor or bad reading, case closed.

 

Maybe the fact that your GPU's max temp is 255C? Your card would be dead if that was true. HWMonitor has some little quirks, whenever I wake from sleep and it's still running, it thinks my processor was at -1349C or something like that.

 

I think I know that. Just found it amusing.

Now, that's impressive.

Hmm, I guess that explains it, was wiping down the multimedia buttons, and accidentally put the laptop to sleep.

 

Here's mine.

 

Looks like someone broke the -273C barrier...

 

We all should've noticed if you reached -2147483648C.....instant ice age

 

LOL
The advances in technology always fascinate me

More impressive is that in the case of CZX58 Shadow, the max is under the min...
It is a whole new universe!!!

 

string theory makes it all possible

 

no quark theory

 

Anyway, this thread makes me wonder how accurate are the softwares that measure temperature in notebooks. Can we really trust them? I confess that I am ignorant with regard to how they work. I mean, there is no thermometer there so how do they make the measurement? Just curious.

 

Sheldon has still not solved the problem of the string theory yet ;-)

 

Actually, there are. Many notebook components (notably the CPU, GPU, and the motherboard) will have temperature sensors. These are commonly used for self-protection and heat control; for example, the motherboard usually has a sensor that will either turn on the fans, or kick them into higher gear upon reaching certain temperatures, the CPU and GPU have temperature sensors that tell them to throttle down or shutdown if they exceed certain maximum temperatures, etc, etc. The issue for the software that tries to read those sensors is determining what a certain value means; basically, the software needs to figure out that a certain reading from that particular sensor means 40 degrees Celsius, for example. The other half of this, as well, is that sometimes the BIOS or OS won't pass through this information from the components to a point where the software can read it. This is why it can often be important to check the information on the temperature software itself; it'll often tell you which chipsets and OSes are supported by the software.

 

I do trust the programs, it's only because I put my laptop in Sleep mode while HWMonitor was running.

 

And I though the 255 for max HWmonitor gave me on returning from sleep was weird.

I stopped running it constantly because it kept my hard drives from turning off for whatever reason, and I have Rivatuner to give me the most important temps next to the clock~
