New cache and memory benchmarks in AIDA64 v3.00
Fiery replied to Fiery's topic in Benchmarking, system performance
Single-threaded memory benchmarking is obsolete, and retaining them next to the multi-threaded ones would just cause more confusion. You can still compare i7-4770K against Core 2 using the new multi-threaded benchmarks. You can still use the old single-threaded AIDA64 cache & memory benchmarks if you keep a copy of AIDA64 v2.85. -
Thank you for the feedback

New cache and memory benchmarks in AIDA64 v3.00
Fiery replied to Fiery's topic in Benchmarking, system performance
1) Even if you divide the L1 cache bandwidth scores by the number of cores, it's not really possible to compare Haswell AIDA64 v3.00 L1 cache results against results obtained by previous releases, mostly because only AIDA64 v3.00 utilizes AVX instructions. Without AVX it's not possible to properly measure Haswell L1 cache bandwidth. 2) 5400 vs. 4699 MB/s: you need to use XMM or YMM registers to properly utilize the cache and memory subsystem capabilities of modern Intel processors. 3) According to Intel's optimization guide, the bank conflict issue of Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge has been eliminated in Haswell. 4) "I hate the fact that cannot play with new toys myself" -- In order to develop kick-ass benchmark methods, you simply need to get the hardware you optimize for Without letting you to try every combinations on an actual CPU, it's very tough to come up with extreme optimizations. Hope this helps to let you dig deeper into Haswell -
We may implement per-core clock frequency and multiplier measurement in the future, but it's not on our short-term roadmap. Regards, Fiery

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2536f5mtnpwq1lzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps. Thanks, Fiery

I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. Please note that AMD RAID controller drivers have RAID member enumeration improperly implemented, so in most cases only the first member drive can be detected. Hence it's best to disable the RAID member enumeration on AMD controllers. Regards, Fiery

Please try to disable the Master Volume item, and let us know if it helps.

High CPU/AUX temp, normal core temps. Freaking me out
Fiery replied to Syladel's topic in Hardware monitoring
Both "CPU" and "Aux" temperature readings are invalid, so you don't need to worry about them. We'll adjust sensor readings for your system in the next AIDA64 beta release due in a few days. -
We'll add VBAT voltage for Asus 6-Series and 7-Series motherboards in the next AIDA64 beta release.
-
1) Reading SMART values (incl. drive temperature) out of HDDs and SSDs make them keep going to sleep. This is a firmware limitation that is still not addressed after so many years What you can do is increase the Disk temperature polling frequency value in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring. 2) Fraps is the only external software that AIDA64 supports to import values from. Regards, Fiery

We haven't dropped the VBAT Voltage reading, it is still available.

The mentioned new AIDA64 beta release is available for download at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2536f5mtnpwq1lzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. -

That's great news, thank you for the feedback -
fixed: AIDA64 + Windows 8.1 BSoD (Asus Z87-Deluxe + i7-4770K)

Please send me your full name, email address and the approx. purchase date in private message, and I'll send you your product key. Regards, Fiery

We've implemented a workaround for the tCAS issue after resuming from sleep. Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2536f5mtnpwq1lzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Please note that now AIDA64 implements 3 different methods to read tCAS on Intel Lynnfield, Bloomfield, Gulftown and Westmere processors, but none of them is perfect Somehow Intel forgot to implement a proper tCAS detection register in the mentioned CPUs. It should work fine on your particular motherboard from now on though

Fiery replied to tw33k's topic in Hardware monitoring
We've implemented support for the onboard CHL8328 VRM chip of your motherboard. Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2536f5mtnpwq1lzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. With this beta you'll see new items on the Sensor page. The most important one would be the CPU VRM voltage, which hopefully would indicate the right Vcore voltage you're looking for. Let me know how it works. -
Question on cache and memory benchmarks!
Fiery replied to Glowing1196's topic in Benchmarking, system performance
It's two memory channels per processor node. A 12-core Magny-Cours processor has 2 nodes, so a single processor package supports 4 memory channels. It effectively works as two 6-core processors (each supporting 2 memory channels) put into a single CPU package. -
Yes, those values are already available as a SensorPanel item. It's also available on the OSD Panel, Desktop Gadget and Logitech LCD item. But please note that not all motherboards are capable of monitoring such values. Regards, Fiery

Question on cache and memory benchmarks!
Fiery replied to Glowing1196's topic in Benchmarking, system performance
1) Do you have 2 or 4 processor sockets populated? 2) Do all processors have DDR3-1333 memory installed? So every processors use the same memory configuration? In case you have 4 processor sockets populated, and every processors use the same DDR3-1333 memory configuration, that would mean you've got 16 memory channels total, each running at DDR3-1333 speed, which would mean a total memory bandwidth of 166.6 GBytes/sec. Hence the results could well be accurate The confusion may come from the fact that AIDA64 (the main application itself) only supports up to 32 processor threads, so it cannot show you all processors on the Cache & Memory Benchmark Panel. However, the multi-threaded memory benchmarks support up to 64 processor threads, so it can utilize all 48 processing threads you've got in your system (if you have all 4 processor sockets populated, each with a 12-core Magny-Cours CPU). Regards, Fiery -
Thank you. If it's possible, please try removing the Master Volume item from your SensorPanel (backup your AIDA64.INI file before doing this), and let me know if it makes the thread creation error go away. If it doesn't help, then please try removing the NIC rate items as well. Let me know if it makes a difference. Thanks, Fiery

The label System Cooler indicates any sort of coolers that aren't for CPU cooling. We use the term cooler to make sure it could be used for both cooling fans and water cooling solutions as well. What we can do is add 2 more System Cooler fields, and also a bunch of Misc Devices fields to make sure you can enter more devices in there. We'll do that in the next AIDA64 beta release due in a few days Regards, Fiery
