  1. We've made several modules of AIDA64 more solid by improving exception handling.  We've also disabled CPU throttling measurement by default.  Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at:

     

    http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild2505xh8pw4vstmzip

     

    After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

     

    Let me know if it helps.

  4. Update frequency per item: We don't have plans on making such customizations possible.  The SensorPanel is already too complicated for many AIDA64 users, so we wouldn't add such a layer that would make it even more complicated without actual benefits to most users.

     

    Adding shapes: We may add those sometime in the future, but it's not high priority, since most SensorPanels feature a background image anyway.  And on the background image it's quite easy to draw any shapes using Paint, Photoshop or any other image editing software.

  5. This thread perfectly describes what we would like to do.  I don't understand why you'd split the features that businesses would want into two license types, and then make it impossible to purchase both.  I am holding out hope that this oversight has been addressed in recent years, as this thread is a few years old.  Can I purchase an engineer license with temperature logging and command line options?

     

    Not yet. But we have plans on introducing a "Super Business Edition" that will be based on the current AIDA64 Business Edition, but would also implement the missing features from AIDA64 Extreme Engineer, like benchmarks and overclock information.

  6. You can try uninstalling AI Suite II to see if it causes any lags, but most of the lags during benchmarking and stressing your system are simply caused by the benchmark module of AIDA64 that really and actually uses up 100% of system resources.  So there's very little system resource left for the Windows management subsystem and the rest of the operating system functions.

     

  7. AIDA64 Disk Benchmark handles physical drives, as they are managed by Windows.  In case you have a RAID array defined, the RAID array will appear as a single physical drive in Windows, hence AIDA64 will treat it as a single drive, and will benchmark it as a single drive.  In such case e.g. for a RAID0 array of 2 drives, both drives will be benchmarked in the same time, and their theoretical performance will be added up (aggregated).

     

    If you have a RAID array defined, there's no way to benchmark the individual drives (member drives) separately.  AIDA64 also doesn't have file system benchmarks, so for example you cannot benchmark C: drive or D: drive separately, if they're 2 partitions of a physical drive.

  8. That lag is there when you have the GPU subtest enabled in the AIDA64 System Stability Test.  The lag is caused by the video driver, when a heavy OpenCL GPGPU computation load is in progress.  The GPU stress test uses such a task to drive the GPU(s) to maximum performance and heat them up as much as possible.

  9. Such issues may happen when under heavy load the CPU intermittently provides invalid core temperature readings to AIDA64.  Such readings should be ignored, and in fact in new AIDA64 v3.00 release we've implemented a special workaround for such situations.  So with AIDA64 v3.00 you most likely will not have such downward spikes, or at least much less frequently than before.

  10. On notebooks that option doesn't have an effect, so leave that option disabled (unchecked).

     

    Such temperatures are absolutely normal for notebooks and tablets, no need to worry about them.

  11. I am going to do my best to encourage ASUS to disclose the magic they are using. And I'll pass it to you ASAP. I expect it will be tedious working my way up the chain of command at ASUS, to find the right guy willing to share the methods.

     

    Thank you, let's hope you can do magic to get Asus reveal their magic ;)

  12. The new block-random latency benchmarks take 10 seconds for each cache levels + memory, so on a L3 cache capable CPU the cache & memory latency benchmarks alone would run for at least 40 seconds.  The bandwidth benchmarks usually run a bit quicker than 10 seconds, so roughly a minute for all benchmarks to complete sounds about right.  On our Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge + Dual Channel DDR3-1600 system it takes almost exactly 1 minute to run all tests.

  13. Ok, I do not understand, why on your reference system with two Xeon X5550 (Triple DDR3-1333) you get only 37831 MB/s read (of theoretically 2*3*8*1333.3=64000 MB/s)?

     

    With server systems it's much more difficult to get close to the theoretical maximum of memory bandwidth than with 1-socket systems.  You also need a high CPU core clock speed and 6+ cores to drive the memory closer to its limit. The pair of X5550 processors we have in the Supermicro X8DTN+ motherboard have a relatively low clock speed of 2.66 GHz, and only 4 cores per socket.

  14. The new AIDA64 release introduces completely rewritten memory bandwidth and memory latency benchmarks, optimized for AVX2, AVX and SSE capable AMD, Intel and VIA processors. The latest AIDA64 update also implements optimized 64-bit benchmarks for AMD "Kabini" and Intel "Haswell" processors, and supports the latest AMD Radeon and nVIDIA GeForce graphics accelerators.


    New features & improvements

    • Multi-threaded cache and memory bandwidth benchmarks with AVX2, AVX and SSE optimizations
    • Block-random cache and memory latency benchmark
    • Optimized 64-bit benchmarks for AMD "Kabini" and "Temash" APUs
    • AVX2 and FMA optimized 64-bit benchmarks for Intel "Haswell" processors
    • Preliminary support for L4 cache of Intel "Crystal Well" processors
    • Crucial M500, OCZ Vertex 450 SSD support
    • GPU details for AMD Radeon HD 7990 "Malta" and nVIDIA GeForce 700 Series
