    Slow start (nVIDIA RAID array)

    in Bug reports

    Posted

    Yes, it takes time to do the RAID Dump too! It stay stuck on "Listing RAID Members" for 30 secounds .

    Thank you. Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at:

    http://www.aida64.co...34ws9p7dqgnzzip

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

    Let me know if it helps. If it is still slow, then please post a new RAID Dump made using this version. We've added a bit more debug info to the dump.

    Thanks,

    Help with the temperatures.

    Laptops feature such components that are designed to run constantly very hot. So having a notebook processor that heats up to 70-75 Celsius under load is normal. Mobile GPUs can work even beyond 100 Celsius under load. So unless your notebook switches off or throws a BSoD while playing a 3D game, it is fine. BTW, both modern processors and modern GPUs have automatic overheating protection to protect themselves from exceeding temperatures.

    Smart Info not displaying for Intel 520 120GB SSD

    in Hardware monitoring

    Posted

    SMART info is available for Intel 520 drives, you can see that on the Storage / SMART page in AIDA64. I guess what you're missing from the Computer / Sensor page is the temperature measurement. I'm afraid Intel 520 SSD does not feature a temperature diode. For most SSDs it's not necessary to have a temperature diode, since they produce much less heat than hard disk drives.

    BTW, in order to get proper SMART attribute descriptions on Intel 520 drives, make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at:

    Just some starter question's.

    Temperatures, voltages and fan speeds are listed on the Computer / Sensor page in AIDA64. You can use the left treeview style menu to walk around pages.

    In order to test your computer's stability, you can go to main menu / Tools / System Stability Test. In there you need to select the subtests (e.g. FPU, CPU, RAM) you wish to run, and then press the Start button. In case during the Stability Test your computer locks up (freezes), restarts, throws a BSoD, or displays an error message, then your computer is indeed instable. You can use the FPU subtest only (and untick the rest of the subtests) to check the thermal solution of your system, ie. if it overheats under heavy load or not. You can use a combination of the subtests (e.g. you can enable them all) to test your system for hardware malfunction.

    Thank you for the data. Did the RAID Dump take a long time as well, or only AIDA64 startup takes 30 to 60 sec to complete? In case the RAID Dump is also slow, then please let us know which of the methods take long time. The name of the method that is under execution is always displayed on the bottom status bar of the RAID Dump window.

    Thanks,

    USB3 Enclosure HDD's disconnect when AIDA64 is started.

    I guess one of the USB passthru methods of AIDA64 (that is required to acquire SMART attributes from USB drives and USB disk enclosures) cause the controller chip in your USB enclosure to stop working. If you have time and willing to try a few things to narrow it down to one specific USB passthru method, then we can compile and send you a special AIDA64 release that allows you to try the passthru methods one by one and find the "guilty" method to let us disable it on your device.

    Graphic Memory Utilization

    in Brainstorming

    Posted

    It's not that straightforward, since detecting video memory size and detecting used memory works very differently. And when a video adapter uses off-board memory as well (UMA, HyperMemory, TurboCache, etc), then the video memory size detected by AIDA64 may not equal to the actual total video memory available for the GPU.

    The old "Aux" temperature is now what AIDA64 reports as "CPU" temperature. It's the same reading.

    And please understand in AIDA64 we're just trying to report the same sensor values (or even more sensor readings if possible) as what the BIOS Setup or the manufacturer's own hardware monitoring software measures. If the measured temperature(s) match e.g. MSI Control Center, but they still don't make much sense to you, then it's not the fault of our software, but maybe your hardware measures incorrect or unreal values ;)

    Your CPU Temp 10C more than Control Centre's.

    Can you see an exact 10C offset both at idle and under heavy system load? If so, then you can use the Correction feature of AIDA64 to substract 10C from the CPU temperature (AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / Correction).

    Mosfet temps? 14-17 C? I wish. Hardware monitored temps at Mosfets in 30 - 45 range.

    Does MSI Control Center measure MOSFET temperatures? Or you referred to BIOS Setup temperature readings there?

    Feature request - Intel Quick Sync

    in Brainstorming

    Posted

    Thank you. We'll contact Intel and try to talk to Eric about Quick Sync detection in AIDA64. However, as Intel seems to be unusually closed on the Quick Sync topic, we may not be able to get the necessary low-level information. I'll let you know in this topic once we have an update.

    Feature request - Intel Quick Sync

    in Brainstorming

    Posted

    I'm afraid Intel haven't really published any low-level information about Quick Sync, or at least so far we couldn't find any useful info on how to detect that feature. Do you know any software (either made by Intel or a 3rd party) that can show any information on Quick Sync?

    Thanks,

    Won't Start With Windows 7

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    As Squall Leonhart suggested, under Windows Vista and Windows 7 you can find the scheduled task that starts AIDA64 at Windows boot using Task Scheduler. Please check if the task is there, and if it is enabled. There's a chance NIS removes the task, or prevents AIDA64 from creating the task.

    AIDA64 Login Script Fail on Windows 7 x64

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    It looks like the AIDA64 Remote Control Server had some issues on the workstations. We'll check what's going on, although as I can see you already have up on AIDA64 :( If you reconsider sometime, then you can fix such issues by removing the DLL file that causes the issue (AIDA_RCS.DLL). That will of course disable the Remote Control feature, but at least you can evaluate the other features without such error messages.
