AIDA64 uses the Strike7 SDK by the book, following Mad Catz's specifications and guidelines. So in case the Strike7 software makes AIDA64 crash, or the Strike7 software stops talking to AIDA64, then I'm afraid you have to ask Mad Catz for a resolution. In case Mad Catz investigates the issue and points to a problem about our implementation of the Strike7 protocol in AIDA64, then we would be happy to fix it on our end.

In theory, the IMC (integrated memory controller) of your CPU supports the following (quoting from Intel's datasheet for your CPU): "Using 2-Gb device technologies, the largest memory capacity possible is 8 GB, assuming dual-channel mode with two x8, double-sided, un-buffered, non-ECC, SO-DIMM memory configuration" So if you can find the right type of memory modules, it should work. You need two pieces of 4GB memory modules, both being double-sided.

No, we haven't changed anything recently about the Samsung SPF LCD support module.

Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad it works fine now In the past 6 or so weeks we've been working hard to resolve all issues about monitoring Skylake and Z170 chipset based motherboards. So these days it's highly recommended to always have the latest beta running on a Skylake system. We will soon roll out a new stable update to finish up our efforts on Skylake-related improvements.

Thank you for the feedback

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps. Thanks, Fiery

Try to turn off BBCode mode, or use a different web browser. The forum engine doesn't seem to work 100% with Internet Explorer.

AIDA64 is not linked to that DLL, and it never tries to load it. What could happen on your system is that when AIDA64 tries to detect a certain system setting or property, a background process or service gets activated, and that process/service cannot load the mentioned DLL file.

It will not detect the GPU on the Display / GPU page, and it will not display any readings on the Computer / Sensor page for the video card.

Yes, but it's not because we want you to pay again, but because we cannot implement support for all future hardware. And implementing support for new technologies, newly released hardware is a constant work on our part. That's why we have to release beta updates every week (sometimes twice a week), and stable updates every 2-3 months. AIDA64 not like most software: it's not enough to update it once a year to keep it fresh and bug-free. It's not easy to keep AIDA64 up-to-date, and if you are a sort of hard-core user who keeps his hardware always up-to-date, then it's necessary for you to keep AIDA64 up-to-date as well by using the latest version. Of course it's not mandatory, so e.g. if you buy a new video card and your old AIDA64 version doesn't support it, but you can live without monitoring your new video card, then you can still keep using the old AIDA64 version. Yes, AIDA64 is a bit like an anti-virus, but only if you keep changing your hardware. If you keep your hardware for years, then you can keep your old AIDA64 for years, you don't have to always have the latest version installed. Unless of course you want to use a new feature that is not related to hardware, like the RemoteSensor and Logitech Arx modules that we've rolled out last December. An example of a case when you don't need to renew AIDA64 for years: the last computer I've assembled for myself was back in 2011. It was based on a Z68 chipset, Core i7-2600 "Sandy Bridge" CPU, and Windows 7 64-bit. I've kept the system almost intact for 4 years, and only a few days ago I've retired it an switched to a completely new PC. If I purchased AIDA64 back in 2011, just because of new technology rolling out I wouldn't have had to renew my license until today. Now that my new computer is based on the latest hardware (Z170 + Skylake) and has the latest OS (Windows 10) installed, I would have to renew my license. But between today and 2011 the old license would have worked perfectly.

It depends on the type of hardware in question. Future GPUs cannot be supported, because their IDs usually do not leak before their launch. CPUs and chipsets are different beasts, usually they are supported months (in some cases 6+ months) before their market launch. Motherboards, and especially special sensor tweakings cannot be implemented before the market launch of the actual motherboard model in question. New, hot technology advancements like NVMe can sometimes be supported before an actual product hits the market. Regards, Fiery

We will add the missing fan item to the AIDA64 hardware monitoring module in the next AIDA64 beta update due in a few days from now. Thanks, Fiery

I suppose Win10 has got a revamped memory management subsystem that is more sensitive to applications "eating up" system memory You can simply ignore that warning message of Win10.

We will add the missing fan item to the AIDA64 hardware monitoring module in the next AIDA64 beta update due in a few days from now. Thanks, Fiery

Does the fan appear properly on the Computer / Sensor page in AIDA64? Thanks, Fiery

It could be normal, actually. AIDA64 System Stability Test allocates all available physical RAM in its memory subtest. If you keep using your computer while the test is running, and you have no swap file defined, it is very likely that Windows will run out of system memory. In which case it's best to avoid using the computer while the AIDA64 stress test is running.

No, we haven't got any reports of such an issue, and we also haven't seen it on our own test systems yet. Which subtests do you have enabled? (CPU, FPU, etc) Do you have any common hardware components in your systems? Like, all of them has a nVIDIA GPU or such?

Thank you. The issue will be fixed in the next AIDA64 beta update.

Have you tried restarting your computer after the update?

We currently have no plans to implement such a feature.

Thank you for your help about this issue. Here's the official beta update that implements the fix for Dell SMI sensors: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta

Quite frankly, we have zero information on how to monitor that PSU. But we can try finding it out if you could help us a little bit First of all, please upgrade to the latest AIDA64 Extreme beta update available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta Please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> System Debug --> USB Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. Thanks, Fiery

1) AIDA64 System Stability Test includes a GPU subtest that stresses video adapters via OpenCL. It's a generic stress test, so it doesn't focus on the VRAM specifically, but perform compute tasks to stress both the GPU and the VRAM. There is no dedicated VRAM stress test in AIDA64, and quite frankly, I don't know any software that would do that. It would be possible to develop such a software, so maybe one day someone will come up with it. 2) It's not possible to specifically stress or diagnose the PSU, since it's not a smart component. It cannot run tests or any other tasks, it just provides power for the other system components. It is possible however to run such a stress test with AIDA64 that draws the most power from the PSU, so it effectively stresses the PSU as much as possible. Just open the AIDA64 System Stability Test, only enable (tick) the FPU subtest there, and press the Start button. In some cases it is best to enable GPU subtest as well, to stress both the CPU and GPU. Regards, Fiery
