Where can you see that phenomenon? At which URL? For me it looks and works fine at the AIDA64 Downloads page: http://www.aida64.com/downloads Try to press Ctrl+F5 in your browser, maybe it will help. Regards, Fiery

That formula isn't quite scientific For example, your CPU has multiple clock planes and multiple voltage planes. Not to mention Turbo Boost, throttling and other factors that could ruin the validity of that formula. And also, how do you know the stock dissipation of your CPU? The value Intel publishes as TDP has nothing to do with the stock power draw of the CPU. It is only an informational value for motherboard manufacturers to help them design their motherboard PCB. Also, TDP is an average value, under regular usage scenario. It's not a peak value at all, not measured under heavy load. A 130W TDP CPU could easily draw over 160W, even at stock settings, if you put it under heavy stress (FPU subtest of AIDA64 System Stability Test for example). Of course, in order to measure such relatively accurate values, you would need a lot more than relying on the dissipation that the CPU reports for itself

Modern AMD processors are not capable of measuring accurate core diode temperatures at idle. The measured temperatures only make sense when the CPU is under load. I'm afraid we cannot fix that hardware issue from our software. Regards, Fiery

We tend to re-shuffle our plans as times goes by, since many times a particular feature request goes higher or lower on our list of things to do. When a certain feature gets requested by many users (either here on the forums, or on other forums, or via our tech support), such features get assigned a higher priority. Sadly, due to resource constraints, that also means that we have to shelve or postpone other planned features that seem to be less popular among AIDA64 users. Right now we're quite busy with some major things coming, which are unfortunately not related to either multiple SensorPanels or the alerting facility. In AIDA64, a lot of things would deserve, worth or require improving or revamping, but our resources are quite tight, so we cannot do everything that would interest or even excite us, which is a shame

To me it sounds like an overheating issue, due to dirty/blocked exhaust vent ports or some other reason. Try to run AIDA64, go to main menu / Tools / System Stability Test. Enable every subtests (like CPU, FPU, etc), press the Start button. Wait for at least 30 minutes before stopping the test. Check if it causes the same freezes, and track the measured temperatures, as well as the bottom graph. On the bottom graph the throttling line should stay at 0% all the time. If it shows a non-zero value and turns to red, it means your computer is overheating. If temperatures climb up to high values (80+ Celsius) and your computer turns off or starts beeping, it is a serious overheating situation. Regards, Fiery

What kind of image did you add? JPEG, PNG, BMP? Thanks, Fiery

What kind of calculation would lead to 260W in such circumstances? Certainly Intel never published any formula to do that. And if you're not going by Intel's own formula, then the result will not be comparable to the Intel CPU power measurement wattage. AIDA64 System Stability Test (SST) -- when you use only the FPU subtest -- puts an enermous stress on the CPU, and makes it draw very high power. I wouldn't state that no other software or trick could make your CPU draw even more power, but our solution (the AVX2 and FMA accelerated FPU subtest of the SST) is considered a "power virus" by Intel, so it's definitely good at driving your CPU to its limits

AFAIK that value is not exported, hence it's not usable by other software. Regards, Fiery

It will be one of the 6 case fan headers that you can find on your motherboard.

The issue will be fixed in the next AIDA64 beta update due in a few days from now. I'll post a message into this topic once the new update is available for download.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm afraid we have no information on how those values are measured or calculated. Our best guess is that the DPS software somehow calculates those, not measure them. DIMM power is measured by the CPU. Only Intel knows what it means exactly and how it is measured.

Yes, the trick about the DPS app was that I simply had to use Windows 8.1 It doesn't start under WinXP at all, and it works very erratic under Win7.

We've added Thermaltake DPS-G sensor support in the following new AIDA64 Extreme beta update: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta Please note that Thermaltake's own DPS-G monitoring software is not synchronized with other monitoring applications like AIDA64. We've implemented a workaround in AIDA64 to avoid collision issues. But if you don't need the DPS-G software features anyway, then it's best to uninstall it from your system, since it keeps running in the background even after you close the main window and exit from the System Tray icon. Let me know how it works on your system

1) In your case VRM is the motherboard VRM, not the video card VRM It would be called "GPU VRM" if it was for the video card(s). 2) PSU temperature and fan speed can only be measured for such devices that support those measurements. Most PSUs will not support it, or they are simply hooked up on a motherboard fan header, so the motherboard will measure the PSU fan speed. 3) RAM temperature measurement is disabled by default, because in rare case it could cause instability. You can try activating it in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability / DIMM thermal sensor support. Restart AIDA64 after altering that option. Please note that it will only work in case your memory modules feature a DIMM TS compliant temperature sensing logic. Regards, Fiery

IMHO it is most likely due to a faulty iGPU temperature diode, or due to a temporary malfunction. Try to completely power off your system. Shutdown Windows, and disconnect your computer from the wall plug (A/C power). Leave it disconnected from the power for at least 2 minutes, then connect it again, start your PC, and see if it makes any difference. If not, then probably your only chance to get things back to normal is by replacing your CPU (which should still be under warranty I guess). Regards, Fiery

Thank you for the feedback. When it gets glitchy, is it for a period of just one frame update? Or the graphical artifacts get stuck and you have to restart AIDA64 to make it work again? Can you please post a photo of how it looks like when it goes south? Thanks, Fiery

It is possible to display the time without seconds by using the latest AIDA64 Extreme beta available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta But I'm afraid displaying multiple time zones is not possible though. Regards, Fiery

You can open the AIDA64 configuration file called AIDA64.INI (that you can find in your AIDA64 installation folder) in e.g. Notepad, and remove the alerting lines easily. Just scan the file for: HWMonAlertItem Regards, Fiery

It is good news, as long as the new Corsair Link gets ready sometime soon.

Yes, we've already got a DPS-G PSU, but it doesn't work properly for some reason. Even its own application cannot find the PSU in most cases. However, since this issue was reported by multiple users on various forums, I suppose it may not be due to a hardware failure, but some other issue, probably in the USB HID interface or the DPS software. We've sent an inquiry to Thermaltake to ask their assistance on this issue, but got no response yet And as long as the PSU fails to work properly (even when we try to use its own software), it's not easy to figure out what needs to be done to read the sensor values from it

Please check the following forum topic about such static labels: http://forums.aida64.com/topic/2610-logitech-arx-control-lcd-for-smartphones-and-tablets/ Regards, Fiery

No, I don't think you understood what I meant What I meant to say is that Uncore is not Package minus DRAM. Your CPU package includes the following components: - Uncore - CPU cores (6 cores) DRAM power is supposed to be the total power draw of the DRAM modules, but the DRAM modules are not part of the CPU package at all. But the six CPU cores are part of the CPU package, but those are not accounted there at all. So the formula used by HWMonitor is completely wrong and pointless.

Since your inquiry is about the business line, probably it would be best to contact our distributor ABSEIRA at: info AT abseira.com Regards, Fiery

I'm pretty sure that value is just calculated as: Uncore = Package - DIMM To me that doesn't sound like a proper formula for your CPU...

I've sent you the requested screen shot in email
