What version+build of AIDA64 are you using? Did you use the same AIDA64 version under both operating systems? Thanks, Fiery

Just to make sure it's not a bug in AIDA64 that is related to KIS, please let us know the KIS version+build you currently have installed. We'll try to reproduce the issue on our test systems. Please also let me know if you have the traffic to our update servers indicated by TCPView only once a day, or every time you launch AIDA64 by starting AIDA64.EXE?

It means avp.exe was trying to probe the AIDA64 update server. It's not AIDA64 -- which would have the process name of aida64.exe. We've checked it with TCPView, and no traffic was detected between AIDA64 main process or any other components and any internet hosts/servers when the auto-update feature is disabled in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / General.

If you want to stress your processor's thermal capabilities (to check whether its cooling is adequate), you should only use the FPU subtest and nothing else. Otherwise, if you would like to check your system's overall stability, then you can enable all subtests. Let it run for at least a few hours to make sure your system gets warmed up properly Modern Intel processors have a built-in facility to prevent overheating and physical damage, even when the processor is under an extreme load -- like the FPU subtest of AIDA64 System Stability Test Additionally, most system BIOSes also have a feature that shuts the system down automatically if the overall case temperature gets too hot.

Do you have the 2 RAID-related options enabled in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability? Thanks, Fiery

AIDA64 Extreme Edition was a single product, but you could either purchase a license for home use, or a so-called Engineer License. The Engineer License would entitle you to use AIDA64 Extreme Edition for business purposes, e.g. troubleshooting or diagnostics in a corporate environment. At the next AIDA64 update we're forking AIDA64 Extreme Edition into two products: AIDA64 Extreme will be the same product that previously the Extreme Edition was (it just got renamed). The new AIDA64 Engineer will be a brand new product based on AIDA64 Extreme. The Engineer product will have a few additional features useful for hardware technicians, but nothing groundbreaking. Note that the "Edition" word is dropped from the product names.

We've tested it, but with disabled automatic updates (that you screen shot reflects) AIDA64 doesn't perform any network traffic to our update servers. Your screen shot shows avp.exe, and not aida64.exe, maybe that's the difference?

Have you tried it with the latest AIDA64 beta release? http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2613qm7ngcy8lkzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

That's another issue that we have to fix. It will be resolved in the next AIDA64 beta release due next week

Thank you for the feedback

Yes, it is still on our roadmap

Updating your video driver may well have caused the difference. I suppose the old driver didn't enable (didn't activate) the Optimus feature.

What motherboard, CPU and video card(s) do you have in your system? Thanks, Fiery

Thank you for the data. I suppose the issue is caused by the nVIDIA Optimus technology that completely switches off the GeForce GPU when the computer is not running a 3D scene (like a game). And when the GeForce GPU is "sleeping", AIDA64 and other software can only access the onboard IGP graphics provided by your Intel Ivy Bridge CPU.

You can open a new topic for that in the Hardware Monitoring forum: http://forums.aida64.com/forum/9-hardware-monitoring/ Name it e.g. "Show off your LCD setups"

1) The area graph issue is a bug related to monochrome LCDs. It will be fixed in the next AIDA64 beta release due next week. 2) For line graphs and area graphs the graph step is the pixel distance between two graph measurement points on the X axis. Try to raise it to see what does it make to the graph design. For histograms step is the pixel distance between histogram bars. 3) I'm sorry, but it's not possible to format the network download/upload rates value

Thank you for the data. I'm afraid we haven't found anything unusual in it. Can you please try running the benchmarks using AIDA64 v3.20 (latest version) at both stock (default) clock speeds, and also at overclocked speed, and post both results?

1) Please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Video Debug --> nVIDIA GPU Registers. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. 2) Also right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Video Debug --> nVIDIA SMBus Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. Thanks, Fiery

CPU Fan1 and CPU Fan2 are muxed together on many ASRock motherboards, using such a mux solution that cannot be handled by AIDA64 properly. In default AIDA64 should be able to measure CPU Fan2, so you may want to move the fan to that fan header to make it better work with AIDA64. Regards, Fiery

Please avoid posting a single issue into multiple forum topics. I've replied your question in your other topic

You can change the LCD update frequency in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / Update Frequency. Regards, Fiery

For laptop, notebook and tablet computers it is absolutely normal to have only a CPU temperature reading. As for 86 Celsius, yes, it is also normal for mobile computers that do not have a large chassis that would help to draw the heat away from the CPU area. Mobile processors are designed to operate at temperatures up to 100-110 Celsius.

In case you want to test your system's overall stability, then having every subtests enabled is the way to go. However, if you're looking for maximum CPU thermal stress, to check whether you system cooling is adequate, then you should only have the FPU subtest enabled. The FPU subtest uses a special code path with AVX/FMA/SSE optimizations that is capable of putting maximum power and thermal load on the processor. Regards, Fiery

Thank you for the data, we've fixed the sensor readings on your motherboard. Please upgrade to the latest version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/a64xe After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works.

You need to enable the SensorPanel (AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / SensorPanel). Then right-click on the SensorPanel --> SensorPanel Manager --> push the Import button --> open the .sensorpanel file.
