Please try to downgrade to AIDA64 v1.50 stable release: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extreme150zip Let me know if it also has the lagging issue or not. Maybe the sensor tweakings of the recent beta releases cause the lagging. Thanks, Fiery

You can check if your computer actually overheats or not by running the AIDA64 System Stability Test. In AIDA64 go to main menu / Tools / System Stability Test, then enable only the "FPU" test, and leave the rest of the tests disabled. Press the Start button, and watch the bottom graph. The throttling activity should stay at 0% all the time. In case the graph turns red and throttling shows any non-zero activity, your computer is overheating.

You can verify the CPU temperature in Asus PC Probe II.

After altering the SMART stability option, you need to restart AIDA64 to apply the changes.

The "CPU" temp most likely means the CPU socket temperature. Anything above 70 Celsius is too high, so you should improve the ventilation of your PC case by e.g. installing a rear case exhaust cooler. Regards, Fiery

You can either completely deactivate the SMART layer of AIDA64 (in main menu / File / Preferences / Stability), or increase the mentioned option (Disk temperature polling frequency) to its maximum possible value of 3600 seconds. If you choose the first workaround, then you'll lose the HDD/SSD temperature measurement capability along with the SMART information. If you choose the second workaround, then you at least can see the SMART information (on demand), and have the HDD/SSD temperatures updated once an hour.

Please try to change the option "Disk temperature polling frequency" (in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring) to 1800 seconds. You need the latest AIDA64 beta to have that option. Let me know what happens Thanks, Fiery

It may be the fault of one of the input controller drivers. Do you have any special keyboards or mouse or game controllers connected?

What I meant is: do you have stutters more frequently than 20 seconds? Based on your description it's yet again the Intel RAID drivers issue, ie. they cause the stutters I'm afraid You can verify that by raising the option "Disk temperature polling frequency" (in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring) to 1800 seconds. You need the latest AIDA64 beta to have that option. Let me know what happens Thanks, Fiery

Thank you. Are the stutters approx. 20 seconds apart from each other? Or they're more frequent?

Try to remove the command-line argument /ACCEPTMIN

Did the previous beta (or v1.50 stable) have no such issues?

Please let us know more about your system configuration: 1) Do you use 64-bit Windows 7? 2) Motherboard model, CPU type? 3) Video adapter(s) model? 4) Any external disk drives connected? (USB, FireWire, eSATA) 5) Any RAID arrays defined? If yes, then what RAID controller and how many drives? Which RAID controller driver version? Thanks, Fiery

That issue may be due to the infamous Catalyst driver issue, namely ULPS. Please try to disable the option "Multi-GPU support" in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability. Let me know if it helps. Thanks, Fiery

Motherboard temperature is the surface temperature of the sensor chip that is mounted on your motherboard PCB. Your motherboard is not capable of monitoring south bridge or north bridge thermal status. Regards, Fiery

Everest doesn't support the recent hardware, and it has no advanced RAID or SSD support either, hence it is capable of reading a lot less sensor info from your hardware than the latest version of AIDA64. In order to let us diagnose the lag issue, please let us know more about your system configuration: 1) Motherboard model, CPU type? 2) Any RAID arrays defined? 3) Any external (USB, FireWire or eSATA) drives connected? 4) Windows version? Kernel type? (32-bit or 64-bit)

It may be the infamous ULPS issue Please try to disable Multi-GPU support in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability. Let me know if it helps. Thanks, Fiery

It depends on the actual motherboard design whether it implements monitoring special temperatures, e.g. south bridge temperature, north bridge temperature, DIMM temperature, etc. Most Asus motherboards do not implement special temperature or voltage sensors. Except for ROG motherboards (Maximus, Rampage, Crosshair) that do offer a wide range of monitored items.

Thanks for the info. 1) Please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Disk Debug --> Disk Controllers Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. 2) Then right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Disk Debug --> RAID Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. Thanks, Fiery

Please post your questions or comments in English. Please avoid posting a single issue into multiple topics. Core temperatures are measured by the CPU itself, using Intel DTS. "CPU" temperature is measured by the motherboard, using the sensor chip mounted on your motherboard. Due to the fundamental difference on measuring methodology, it's not advised to compare core temperatures and "CPU" temperature.

Please post your questions or comments in English. Please avoid posting a single issue into multiple topics. I've replied in your other topic. This topic closed.

Your tests seem to prove my statement above: Let's hope Intel can iron out the issues in their Rapid Storage RAID drivers soon

AIDA64 doesn't support multiple instances, due to collisions would occur then between the low-level modules of each instance. However, in case you already have an AIDA64 instance running, why don't you use the Remore Report feature?

It should work for both AHCI and RAID. Do you have the latest JMicron driver installed? What version of Windows do you have installed? 32-bit or 64-bit kernel?

AFAIK Sabertooth X58 is not capable of monitoring south bridge temperature. Can you see such temperature reading in either the BIOS Setup or in Asus' own hardware monitoring software (PC Probe II) ?
