[HWiNFO32 Thread] - Questions, Reports, Suggestions, Discussions

I ran HWiNFO32 351_765 in Debug Mode. File(zip format) is attached.

 

There are more registers which determine whether IDA is enabled or disabled.
It seems that Everest checks other registers than HWiNFO32. In either case, the Master Enable for IDA (package level) says that IDA is Disabled, so I would guess it really is disabled.

 

I have an ati 5870m and when HWInfo32 first starts up all my real time temperature ratings are 0, but if i restart then everything reads fine.

 

Please attach a Report + Debug File

• Added reporting of GPU Fan duty cycle for ATI R7xx and Evergreen family.
• Added possibility to display sensor readings on 3 columns/line on LG G15 LCD.
• Added support of LG G19 Color QVGA LCD.

so far working great.
No dpc spikes anymore, and all the info is displayed correctly.
Will report back if i find any issues.
Another great release by Mumak!

 

HWiNFO32 v3.53-810 Beta available.
Changes:

• Added DELL SMI monitoring support on x64 systems.
• Filtered out invalid PCH temperature readings.

 

That DELL SMI should be very interesting to M7130 owners here.
HWiNFO now reads fan speeds of all three fans, which is excellent.

 

Maybe the DELL EC/SMI temperature/fan labels are not correct on all systems, but that can be fixed if users provide me the correct names.

 

no issues on the M17x-R2. All seems to work properly.

 

What does it mean if my TM2 is red?

Screenshot and report attached:

 

It's red for me too. TM2 is some kind of thermal monitoring ability of the CPU.
The fact that it's red means it's disabled ? Mumak ?

 

Red means that TM2 (Thermal Monitor 2) is available on that CPU, but currently disabled.

I think for Nehalem family I need to update this, since it seems it's really Enabled. For older families, it should be correct what's displayed there.

I think for Nehalem family I need to update this, since it seems it's really Enabled. For older families, it should be correct what's displayed there.

 

Can I ask if it's possible for HWiNFO32 to read my CPU (SP9400 early ES) temp ?

 

This early sample (ES1) has no built-in Thermal Monitoring (TM1/2, DTS, PROCHOT) capability.
Be careful with this part, since if it goes into thermal runaway, then there will be no mechanism that can shut down the CPU (and the VRM).

 

Ok thankyou.

One thing I don't understand is if there is no TM1, why does HWiNFO32 say:
Thermal Monitor 1: Supported, Enabled

 

I can't say this 100% without the HWiNFO32 Debug File, but I suppose the CPU reports TM1 as enabled, but in fact it isn't. Such early ES parts have usually several errata inside and are not meant to be used in production systems (testing only). I'm wondering that you can run a system on this part without issues..

 

Ok I understand. Before now I thought that the following was true:

Anyway I attached the debug file:

 

This particular unit has thermal sensors implemented, but they provided erratic values, so they were disabled in hardware.
Also according to the Debug data, the DTS sensor doesn't provide a valid reading.

 

Just out of interest, is any way to re-enable those sensors (even if I get useless values)?

 

Only in case you would have access to Intel Top Secret level information regarding manufacturing/fusing process (or maybe uCode details)
So, theorethically it's possible to change anything, but...

Great, this new version has certainly reduced the DPC Latency

 

Mumak
Thankyou for latest release installed 3.55 i noticed that i am now no longer getting a reading from the Intel Platform Controller Hub on previous version this worked.Plus the gpu fanspeed stays at 30% regardless of rpm any ideas?

Mumak
Would also like to report that after installing 3.55 started to get Gpu fans behaving erratically kicking in @ 50c when they never used to.And on second Gpu reported temp 163c so fan went to full speed.Have reinstalled 351-748 & everything normal again.I have not installed anything else on my R2 today prior to this so unsure why these issues have occurred will report if happens again.

 

I suppose you're talking about the PCH temperature especially. If yes, then I noticed that this reading was stuck @ 59 C all the time on some machines. This was probably because the sensor was not properly calibrated by BIOS, so I filtered this reading and don't report it if the value is invalid. Maybe the BIOS engineers decide one day to fix it... Other PCH readings (like CPU Power consumption) were not affected by my change, but that reporting also depends on proper configuration by system manufacturer and is not available on all machines.
I'm not sure about the GPU fan, was it reported correct in a previous version?

Could you please attach Reports + Debug Files from both versions so I can check it?

 

sorry to barge in on your conversation here, but the GPU fan was not reported correctly on AW M17xR2

 

I can do but am about to go out for the evening so can post reports/debug tomorrow thanks.

Have you tried 3.55 on your R2?

 

You mean constantly at 30% ?
That reading comes directly from GPU fan control. But on those machines it seems all fans are controlled by the ITE8512E LPC/EC. It's though to find out how to get sensor readings from this chip, since it's vendor-specific implemented. You know I have tried to apply the same method as for DELL machines (via SW-SMI) and spent quite much time with it. And it seemed to work for some moments, but only partially and caused several side issues. So I currently don't know if that's a BIOS bug or it needs some special tweaks. I requested info from a DELL BIOS engineer, but it seems they are not willing to shed more light on this

 

Yes, it's constantly on 30%, i think we had this conversation before...
Sorry to hear Dell won't share the needed info.
I guess it's better not to see the speed at all if all it reports is 30%.
BTW i think it does work with one card but not with CF. I can't verify that though...

 

HWiNFO32 v3.55-830 Beta available.
Changes:

• Added monitoring of various loads for nVidia GPUs.
• Several minor updates and fixes.
• Added nVidia GeForce GTX 480M.

 

I have no video card in this release???

 

Can you please enable Debug Mode in HWiNFO32, run it, open Sensors, create a Report, close and then send me the report + HWiNFO32.DBG file? I will check and fix it then.

EDIT: I see you have used the 3.55-815 release. Please use the latest Beta prerelease v3.55- 830 and let me know. Because that adds support of GTX 480M.

 

thanks Mumak is working for me now

I downloaded and installed the one you mentioned above and enabled Debug Mode and ran it. Before in completed in loading, when it got to memory something it totally lock up my system. No cntrl, alt, del. Nothing but holding the power button down to shut it down would work. It has locked up 3 times like this. Since it will not run at all now I have no report to send you.

 

Even in this case if Debug Mode is enabled, there should be a HWiNFO32.DBG file created. Please send me this file, so I can analyse what happened.
Does that latest Beta run without Debug Mode?

 

PM sent. Thanks.

tried looking for gpu volts not there???? but showing downclock from default core 500/ mem 799 / sh 1250 on idle....woow! recognizes ssd, that first time ever but cant read ssd temp that must be tough one to crack

cpu voltage spot on running TS @ 1.2375v 3.2GHz also set bios to 3.2Ghz to switch on fans 100% speed





EDIT: can give gpu Bios if helps for volts?

 

Can you please run HWiNFO32 in Debug Mode and attach the Debug File so I can check more precisely? Don't forget to open the Sensors when running in Debug.

 

tried on xp32 pro an see both gpu voltages
idle 0.85v



opened Gpu-z @ c660/m1020/s1650 is hwinfo correct on this?
an went up to 1v .....matchs nibitor





so is prob with vista64
ummm.... sorry ...ran Debug on xp instead of vista64 after a about 2 hours noticed gpu volts so quitted ....how long does Debug run for please?

 

I'd say the GPU clock reported by HWiNFO32 is correct, but you can check other tools (like Everest, etc) what they report.
Check what nVidia drivers you have on Vista x64, if possible try to upgrade.
Sorry, but I don't understand your question about Debug mode..

 

never used Debug Mode before been searching on internet how an now more confused.

sorry to ask this, is it possible someone teach me step by step how to run HWiNFO32 in Debug Mode

Guys. Mumak deserves a hell of a lot of rep for that new release. I saw how much effort went into reading that alienware EC.
Rep++ mumak!
