The SensorPanel doesn't support such scale indicators currently. We thought about implementing it, but it would make an otherwise already very complicated configuration panel even more crowded So at the moment, the only way to add such scale info by putting static labels on the panel.

Thank you for the feedback. The Update Frequency of the SensorPanel can be adjusted on the same page as the OSD: AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / Update Frequency.

Thank you, I'm glad you find it useful. It took us a lot more time to design and develop the SensorPanel module than we've ever imagined, but the feedbacks so far are very positive. We were a bit afraid of the complexity of the panel items configuration, but it seems everyone likes to play with it and tweak it for hours

We've fixed the panel resizing issue in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1455u8nmy1wgcbzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery

We've implemented CPU utilization, memory utilization and GPU utilization in the Alerting module. Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1455u8nmy1wgcbzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery

Hint: You can improve legibility of textual elements (in front of a background image) by enabling shadow.

You can add a background image the same way you add any images. The only difference is that it may obscure the rest of the SensorPanel items. In such case you need to use the SensorPanel Manager to move the background image up to the top of the list using the Move Up button. The arrow buttons in the SensorPanel Manager can be used to precisely place the background image at (0,0) position.

I'm afraid your HM65 chip is still the old B2 stepping. You can verify the revision ID + stepping value combinations for Intel 6 Series chipsets at: http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/specupdate/324646.pdf On page 9 you can see that revision 04h belongs to B2 stepping. Your chipset must have 05h in the revision field to be B3 stepping.

1) Displaying anything in 3D games or other full-screen 3D applications would require developing several hooking modules to "inject" the graphics to all possible 3D interfaces, e.g. Direct3D9, Direct3D10, Direct3D11, OpenGL, etc. We may do that in the future, but I'm afraid it won't happen this year. 2) You can backup all AIDA64 settings -- including SensorPanel configuration -- by backing up the AIDA64.INI file you can find in the installation folder of AIDA64. We'll soon implement SensorPanel profiling, to let you export or import complete SensorPanel configurations, including images.

What does AIDA64 display on the Motherboard / Chipset page, in the line of "Revision / Stepping"? On B3 stepping it should say: 05 / B3 Please avoid posting a single issue into multiple topics. The rest of the topics have been removed. Regards, Fiery

We'll soon implement SensorPanel profiling, to let you save your panel configuration -- including background images -- into a single file, and backup it, or share it with other users.

In the beta SensorPanel topic, you can see a few examples of how other users built up their panel design:

Even though the SensorPanel feature is not capable of doing that, you can get similar functionality using either the AIDA64 Logging feature, or the AIDA64 System Stability Test. You can enable and configure Logging in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / Logging. You can see the min/max values in the System Stability Test on the Statistics tab.

Do you mean to display not the current temperature, but the absolute minimum or maximum measured since AIDA64 was started?

Please make sure to enable the option RAID SMART support in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability. After changing that option, make sure to restart AIDA64. Let me know if it helps. Thanks, Fiery

We'll soon completely revamp the AIDA64 Alerting module, to make it more suitable for advanced use. When we do that revamp, we'll implement new alert triggers, e.g. CPU utilization, GPU utilization, memory utilization. I'll let you know in this topic once we have a new AIDA64 beta with the requested new feature implemented. Thanks, Fiery

Thanks for the feedback. It seems, lately RAID controller manufacturers are revamping their drivers to make them work in RAID mode even when only standalone drives are connected. Or, at least the drivers stop providing the usual Windows API interfaces for standalone drives enumeration. Hence you need to activate RAID SMART support with those drivers to let AIDA64 scan RAID controllers using RAID methods either.

BTW, do you have the option RAID SMART support enabled in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability? You may need that to enable AIDA64 to recognize the drives you have connected to a RAID controller.

Thank you. We've tried to tweak it a bit in v1.80.1450, but apparently it didn't work out. We've also done some test runs on a 88SE91xx controller, but it seems our test motherboard is not affected by the issue you experience on your system. We'll try to get another motherboard with a Marvell controller, and hopefully it will be suitable to replicate the issue.

AIDA64 licenses are not version-limited, but time-limited. Hence if you buy a license that entitles you for 12 months of free upgrades, it means for the next 12 months you can upgrade to any AIDA64 releases, e.g. v1.90, v2.00, or even v3.00. After the 12 months expire, you can still use the last version you upgraded to, for an unlimited time -- but you won't be able to upgrade to new releases anymore. If you want to extend your maintenance (upgrade) period, you can buy an upgrade license anytime at 70% cost of a new license. There're additional options to buy a longer maintenance period, e.g. 24 months at 1.5x price of a regular 12 months license, and 36 months license at 2x price of a regular 12 months license. Upgrade licenses are also available for both 24 months and 36 months.

We've done a few test runs on our DP67BG motherboard, and it seems no matter if we configure 1T or 2T setting for Command Rate, the system provides virtually identical memory performance in AIDA64 benchmarks. It must mean there's a BIOS bug, and the motherboard is stuck at 1T Command Rate all the time. We'll contact Intel and send them our findings.

We've made more test runs, and as it turned out, it's a bug in the rendering part of SensorPanel. You can only avoid that by increasing the window size of the main AIDA64 window. The bug will be fixed in the next beta release. I'll drop a message here in this topic once the new beta is released.

Thank you. It seems either we got an incorrect information on how to detect Command Rate on Sandy Bridge processors, or Intel XTU has a bug about Command Rate configuration. We'll do more test runs, contact Intel, and I'll get back to you in this topic once we have a development about this. Thanks, Fiery

Yes, the transparency setting is correct now. Please try to select a different background color (e.g. red), press OK, then try to select black again, and press OK.

Try to hide or remove the first item (sensor_background.jpg) in the SensorPanel Manager. Also, check if you have the right background color selected for the SensorPanel (in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / SensorPanel), and also that you have all transparency settings disabled there too.
