Certain ASRock boards use a special GPIO based fan muxing logic that only ASRock's own software can handle properly. We've put a lot of efforts into using the same fan mux switches in AIDA64, but we had no luck implementing it. So I'm afraid you need to rely on ASRock's AXTU application to measure all fan speeds. With AIDA64 you can measure 4 fans out of 6 on your motherboard, since the rest of the 2 fans are muxed

AFAIK OCZ Vertex 3 drives don't have a working temperature sensing logic. As for the rest of the SMART attributes, you can see them on the Storage / SMART page of AIDA64. Regards, Fiery

Thank you. We'll do some test runs with both Marvell driver packages on a 88SE91xx controller. Once we have an AIDA64 release with the explained issue fixed, I'll report back in this topic. But please provide us at least a week, since currently we're very busy preparing for the next major update for AIDA64. Thanks, Fiery

The "0 RPM" display is a bit tricky, since a fan RPM register shows the same value when a connected fan is stopped, and when a fan header is disconnected (either deliberately or by accident). And when you have e.g. 6 fan headers on your motherboard, but you only use 1 fan header, you don't want to have 5 useless "0 RPM" entries listed on the Sensor page in AIDA64. Hence AIDA64 will only lists those fan headers that have a valid RPM reading.

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

Are your 2 drives in a RAID array, or they're standalone drives? Thanks, Fiery

I'm sorry, but not yet. We're very busy with other features, bug fixes, and implementing support and optimized benchmarks for the next generation processors by AMD and VIA. I'll let you know in this topic once we have an update to the LCD feature.

We've fixed it up in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1431vw3xs8dlyczip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery

Thank you for the data. Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1431vw3xs8dlyczip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery

Where did you find that formula? We're not aware of anything like that applying to A7V8X-X motherboard.

We do have plans about improving the Rivatuner OSD Server support in future revisions of AIDA64. I'll let you know in this topic once we have news about those improvements. However, we're currently very busy developing major new AIDA64 features and implementing support for the upcoming AMD and VIA processors, hence I cannot give you a timeframe about the Rivatuner OSD Server improvement at this time

AIDA64 uses industry standard Windows API calls to issue ATA commands, including the SMART attributes read command. The HDD temperature is one of the SMART attributes, hence you need to read the whole attributes block to measure HDD temperature. Some hard disk drives may be smart enough to provide the SMART attributes block even while the drive is sleeping, and so it wouldn't spin up the disks just to read the attributes. We wish all hard disk drives could do that Even more useful would be if there was a separate ATA call just to read the disk temperature, but nowadays most companies focus on SSD devices rather than HDDs, so I personally don't think such an improvement to any HDD would ever happen In other words: in order to make your drive not wake up on every temperature readout, you would need a smarter HDD firmware I'm afraid. WD may be able to do that to their HDDs.

The fix means using slightly more accurate voltage multipliers for EP45-UDxx boards, and fixed +5V and +12V multipliers and register indexes for EP45-DSxx boards. Regards, Fiery

Thanks for the feedback

You need to have the latest AIDA64 beta to fix that: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1426qv1kl8cw0czip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps. Thanks, Fiery

AIDA64 currently does not support temperatures correction, but we're planning to implement that feature soon. We're currently very busy with implementing AMD Llano, AMD Bulldozer and VIA QuadCore support, so I'm not sure if we could add the temperature correction before the next AIDA64 release. I'll let you know in this topic when we can manage to add this feature. Thanks, Fiery

We've the mentioned issue in the following new beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1426qv1kl8cw0czip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let us know how it works for you. Thanks, Fiery

We've implemented Rivatuner OSD Server (RTSS) support in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1426qv1kl8cw0czip You can activate and configure it in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / External Applications.

It's great to see you here, Unwinder We've implemented Rivatuner OSD Server (RTSS) support in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1426qv1kl8cw0czip You can activate and configure it in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / External Applications.

You can double-click on any of the column separators on the columns header to auto-size the column. I know it's not an automatic, smart method though We've experimented with automatic column sizing before, but results weren't satisfying in many cases, due to design issues with the ListView control we use. BTW, which of the benchmark list columns do you find narrow? We may implement a couple of tricks to widen certain columns (e.g. the "CPU" and "Memory" columns) when desktop resolution is high enough.

I guess it's a simple AIDA64 benchmark result, e.g. CPU Queen or CPU PhotoWorxx.

It doesn't give any scores. But it may display an error message (and paint the window to red) when it detects a CPU or memory error.

As I've stated above, AIDA64 is not designed to handle switchable graphics monitoring in any ways. When AIDA64 starts, it scans the system for available GPUs. When AIDA64 starts, and you have the Intel GPU enabled and the AMD GPU disabled, it will not be able to monitor the AMD GPU unless you restart AIDA64. I know it may be considered a limitation, but it's a sacrifice we had to make to make sure AIDA64 can monitor GPU sensors without too much overall system performance hit. We'll work on better supporting switchable graphics, as soon as that technology finds its way to desktop computers as well.

Fan PWM percentage (also known as fan duty cycle) can be configured independently from the fan RPM readout. In other words, you can even configure and then detect a non-zero PWM percentage for a disconnected or stopped fan. Thank you for testing the other software. When EVGA's own monitoring software (E-LEET) cannot measure the fan RPM, it means there's definitely something wrong with the sensor chip initialization by the BIOS

We don't have a first-hand experience on switchable graphics notebooks, so I'm not in a position to give you full technical details. What I can tell you though is that AIDA64 is not prepared to handle switchable graphics monitoring in any ways. You can monitor various details of the currently active GPU, but you cannot monitor the inactive GPU, because it shuts down. Regards, Fiery
