To me it sounds like an overheating issue. Maybe your system only gets excessively hot when all components are stressed in the same time. Regards, Fiery

If you move the SensorPanel out of the visible Windows Desktop area, AIDA64 will automatically place it back to the visible area.

I'm afraid AIDA64 doesn't offer an exclusion list to let you "whitelist" those drives with issues about SMART reporting. I still believe your drives (or something related to your drives) have an issue. It could be a common issue that plagues all systems that have such a drive in your enterprise, like a similar PC configurations with similar compatibility or hardware issue. The author of HD Sentinel stated this on a similar issue about End-to-End Error: http://www.hdsentinel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1829 Based on what he said -- and let's face it, he's an expert about these things -- I'd say in your case there could be an issue about SATA cable, SATA controller, SATA controller driver, or perhaps a one-time failure that somehow happened to all your ST1000DM003 drives. If I were you, I'd try to get to the bottom of this, because it's really not the best practice to ignore SMART errors, no matter how serious they are. Gambling with user data is a big no-no in my book

We'll add the requested new items in the next AIDA64 update due in a few days from now. Thanks, Fiery

Yes, we'll see what we can do about it

It's not possible, but it is there on the Statistics tab of the AIDA64 System Stability Test. It's also possible to log the min/max/average values to a HTML or CSV log file (AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / Logging). Regards, Fiery

Using transparent color key is an old thing that looks terrible in most cases. Unless of course you use a square object on your SensorPanel, and everything around that object would need to be transparent. But then it would be much like having no transparency at all, since the SensorPanel is also a square object and everything around it is transparent Trust me, we've put a lot of thought into those things, and whatever we could try, we've tried already. What we've got in AIDA64 v5.00 (latest version) is what we can do about those issues.

On your particular system I don't think disabling any of the Stability options would make a difference, system most of them are manufacturer specific ones. You can of course try to disable those that you deem unrelated to your system, like the Apple, Dell, Koolance, T-Balancer, Toshiba, Volterra ones, but I doubt it would fix anything.

You're right about that. It'll be fixed in the next AIDA64 update due in a few days from now. Thanks, Fiery

We'll add the requested Mbps unit conversion in the next AIDA64 beta. Using Mb/s would be a bad idea, since AIDA64 ignores the case, so Mb/s and MB/s and MB/S are all treated equally as MegaBytes Per Second

We've tried that, but it didn't help to prevent minimizing SensorPanel with Windows key + D. AIDA64 Preferences already implements a Prevent SensorPanel from being minimized option. That's all we could do about this issue. As I've explained before, transparency for the SensorPanel is not possible. You can however take the wallpaper, slice out a portion of it and put it as the SensorPanel background image, to imitate a transparency effect. Many users went down that path and use SensorPanel with good results.

My first idea would be AI Suite, but I suppose it only works on desktop PCs. Do you have any Asus software installed on your laptop, one that may perform system monitoring?

AIDA64 performs low-level operations that might collide with other services or processes (or the UEFI layer, or a Windows driver) in rare occasions. So yes, while constantly monitoring your system with AIDA64, it is possible that the monitoring feature causes a system error, but it's a very rare issue that fortunately plagues not many PCs around. Of course, the issue may not be related to AIDA64 at all It's quite difficult to diagnose such issues, unless of course the BSoD is more meaningful or the issue comes up more regularly.

If you configure port forwarding, then you could use it outside from your LAN, via the internet.

1) Open AIDA64 on your main rig, go to main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / LCD, click on the RemoteSensor tab, change the port to 8080, check enable. 2) Windows and/or your firewall software may pop up a message box warning you about a software (AIDA64) opening the 8080 port. Just allow it 3) On the Android device open Chrome or your preferred web browser, and enter your main rig's IP address (which you can find on the Computer / Summary page in AIDA64, look for Primary IP Address there) and :8080 as the URL, like this: http://192.168.0.1:8080 4) A splash screen should appear in your web browser informing you about the resolution you're supposed to use. 5) Go back to AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / LCD, uncheck the enable option, and enter the resolution the splash screen stated. Then check enable again. 6) Go back to AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / LCD / LCD Items, and you can start building your own LCD layout. Regards, Fiery

Even if the cards have the same GPU and similar core clock and/or boost clock, their cooling and actual thermal status could be very different. Modern video cards could perform better if they're cooler, since their GPU could use boost clocks more at a cooler state. So even by using 2 of the same video cards, the scores could be different if one card runs cooler than the other. BTW, according to the specs, your Gigabyte card uses 5000 MHz effective memory clock, while the Sapphire card uses 4500 MHz, so there's a considerable difference there. Regards, Fiery

That seems to be a LCDsysinfo device that AIDA64 doesn't support. LCDsysinfo (both generations) sadly does not support direct bitmap display through USB connection

Yes, you should. As long as your notebook is properly constructed by MSI, our stress test wouldn't harm it. But, if you're afraid of it, just don't run the stress test

1) No, the AIDA64 System Stability Test didn't harm your system. 2) Maximums clocks cannot be achieved when all components of the system is under heavy stress. Turbo Boost cannot push the clocks to the maximum level when all cores are under such high level of load that AIDA64 puts on them. Regards, Fiery

I didn't mean losing the SensorPanel because you move the window out of the desktop area. I meant a situation when you either change your monitor or lower the desktop resolution. If e.g. you place the SensorPanel at a point of X = 1200 and Y = 0, and you lower the desktop resolution to e.g. 1024x768, and AIDA64 wouldn't automatically put the SensorPanel back to the new desktop area, the SensorPanel would become invisible to the user. And when that would happen, he wouldn't be able to move it back at all, since no part of the window would be visible or draggable on the desktop area. In such a situation the user would have to close AIDA64 and remove the relevant Registry entries using REGEDIT, which is far from being the most user-friendly or easy-to-handle method

I'm afraid we've tried but haven't found a solution to this issue When you use Windows scaling, font is automatically scaled, no matter if you write text on a window or on a bitmap that you send to the Logitech LCD. However, in case you plan to keep the 125% setting, you may be able to set the font size to a smaller setting with your LCD items, so when they are scaled up 125%, you get the right size of text.

I'm afraid AIDA64 LCD module doesn't support that. Thank you for the feedback. I'm not sure if you're talking about the classic Intel CPU throttling value there. Throttling is a single percentage value that shows if the CPU is overheating at any given time. If you mean a different throttling value, then please show us (with a screen shot or a link) what you mean.

We would be hesitant to add such a feature to AIDA64, since it would let you lose the SensorPanel window completely. SensorPanel is automatically put back to the visible Windows Desktop area to make sure there's no such situation when the SensorPanel gets completely out of any desktop area and so get unmovable and unreachable by the user. You can hide/show the SensorPanel using the right-click context menu of the AIDA64 System Tray icon though. For most users it's a good solution to quickly hide/show the SensorPanel. Regards, Fiery

I'm afraid it cannot be done with AIDA64 OSD Panel, but it is possible with the SensorPanel. Regards, Fiery
