[Suggestion: Hard Drive access activity/ process Monitor]

Nice feature - thanks !

It is working ok, but one question: can you make it so that instead of disk 1, disk 2 etc., there would be actual disk letters. I had to find out which disk responds to which disk letter by trial and error method. Disk 1, disk 2 etc. also dont match windows disk management disk numbering.

totally agree. Thanks for implementing though. Just the process meter left then!

[Sensor panel request - Process Explorer]

I too would like to see this addition, specifically top 5 process by memory or CPU (switchable between the 2) on sensor panel.

[ASUS Maximus V Extreme + AIDA64 - unexpected restarts/shutdowns at idle with AIDA64 in background]

Perhaps, but that is an extremely old version (it's not even listed on the asus site any more) oldest one is V1.04.01 these are not win8 compatible nor do they have the functionality required for newer boards., therefore the point is moot, with regards this conversation.

[ASUS Maximus V Extreme + AIDA64 - unexpected restarts/shutdowns at idle with AIDA64 in background]

No Probs. use a chasis mounted fan contoller, much much better. One of the good things about uninstalling AI suite is that you will see a noticeable improvement in performance. Espesc boot & shutdown times

[ASUS Maximus V Extreme + AIDA64 - unexpected restarts/shutdowns at idle with AIDA64 in background]

no there is nothing else you can do apart from log issue with asus vip forum (link given earlier by Feniks) I aslo urge you to check out the ROG site for the proper way to remove ai suite (you can't just uninstall, wont work) Both myself & Feniks posted heavily about this issue. http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?27556-Maximus-V-Extreme-Possible-1501-BIOS-conflict-with-AIDA64-EE-monitoring-in-background/

[Differentiate Multiple HDD Temps]

thanks v much for such a quick response (& on a sunday too!)

[Differentiate Multiple HDD Temps]

I have multiple HDD in my system (9) all of the same make, model & size (segate barracudda 2TB). When creating a sensor panel, is there a way to tell which temperature corresponds to which drive?

As the model numbers shown are obviously identical.  I haven't been able to work it out.

Thanks in advance

[ASUS Maximus V Extreme + AIDA64 - unexpected restarts/shutdowns at idle with AIDA64 in background]

Ok, finished testing. Same issue with fan xpert still exists. But since the changelog did not mention a fix for this I did not expect it to work.

Issue with games is repeatable onlyif system is overclocked. on stock it's fine, or mild overclock.

[ASUS Maximus V Extreme + AIDA64 - unexpected restarts/shutdowns at idle with AIDA64 in background]

will test today & let you know. However there is no mention of this issue in the change log. Further more. The issue became evident again in last beta. This is even without fan xpert installed. It seems to happen when playing certain games. Exactly the same synptoms. Can be repeated. Doesn't happen when aida is not running.

[GPU Ambient Temp: Latest beta build]

oh well thanks for looking into it.

[GPU Ambient Temp: Latest beta build]

oh so whats msi reporting, is it mem temp?

[GPU Ambient Temp: Latest beta build]

sorry forgot one

Don't think so all listed seperatly. 3 seperate readings. Gpu diode on aida matches gpu in msi. Abient seems to be the same as VRM temp in msi, so which is it do you think (in aida) is ambient actually = VRM?. Still missing mem though.

[GPU Ambient Temp: Latest beta build]

Thanks again for the prompt reply. werd afterburner shows fluctuating vrm & mem temperature readings not fixed?

[GPU Ambient Temp: Latest beta build]

Thanks you for the update. Before I flash my bios for UEFI ability from SI the card was also showing VRM & Mem temp these are no gone. how come, I'm assuming the chips are still there but the gpu bios is not reporting them????

[GPU Ambient Temp: Latest beta build]

Here you go: FYI they are 2x msi gtx 680 lightning sli

Thanks for the reply, so what's showing under gpu ambient on sensor panel then? It's different from gpu diode.

[GPU Ambient Temp: Latest beta build]

Update: actually it is, at least on my one in the latest beta. However vrm & memory temperature sensors are missing

[ASUS Maximus V Extreme + AIDA64 - unexpected restarts/shutdowns at idle with AIDA64 in background]

Well I withdraw all of my previous statements about stabilty & fans being shown. Not true. It's completly random. It will crash eventually no matter what. Fans appearing or not is hit & miss. So back to square one & both Feniks & my original findings. Doesn';t work & is unstable when used with ai suite. So just waiting for a new beta. For your info Admin/Fiery a number of people have had this issue over at the ROG forum, I created a lot of interest & a lot of posts (120). It goes well beyond that which is shown here.

[ASUS Maximus V Extreme + AIDA64 - unexpected restarts/shutdowns at idle with AIDA64 in background]

Ok Update. It's been stable. However if you open the main aida programe & leave it on screen It will crash, however without psu lockout, just a restart. same as Feniks

Also GPU VRM Temp, & GPU Memory temp are no longer available. But gpu Ambient has become available???? (wasn't before, was in fact subject of another thread).

Still not sure exactly how stable it is with just sensor panel running will advise late tonight.

Please find attached latest sensor dumps.

Well we know its hm service which is the hardware monitor layer, so an educated guess would be that the bios updates interact with this directly ie UEFI. Since the bios is talking directly to this service which you have also shown is messing with bios settings. Just a thought.

[ASUS Maximus V Extreme + AIDA64 - unexpected restarts/shutdowns at idle with AIDA64 in background]

Update: I too installed win 8 in UEFI, however I installed full suite including fan xpert & configured it. It been up & running now for 7 hrs without incident. By now it would normally have crashed. Also All of my fans are coorrectly showing. In summary it seems if you install in UEFI mode all seems to work. I too got bios resets, but after changing in bios 2nd time seems to have stuck. All is working again . Hoorah!!! Doesn't fix the appalling uninstall routine but I can live that now.

So looks like aida64 is fine for UEFI installs but not legacy. This does seem to indicate something about the bios & not just ai suite.

I would go so far as to suggest that since all of the bios updates have been geared towards windows 8 compatibilty & stabilty that this is the root cause. Since the issues occurred after 0704, so 1509 was released on 15/10/2012 & ai suite final was 16/11/2012.

Since those dates there has been numerous bios updates focusing on Win 8 one must presume UEFI mode, but no updates for ai suite.

That by improving comatibilty for win 8 (UEFI) they have lost compatibilty for non-UEFI. The argument being you can't have both. (not that I agree with that) It may well be a question of trade-off.

[GPU Ambient Temp: Latest beta build]

Thanks for letting me know, v good of you. That's a shame. still least of my problems right now as I can't even run aida64.
