unticking low level smart operations did not fix it, i have upped the poll time to 3600, i would rather just disable HDD temps, is it another option i need to disable ? setting the poll time to 3600 has stopped it but i would rather not have an hourly glitch if i can help it (or do i need ot reboot after unticking low level smart ?)

i will try it later when i am on the games pc again, if this is the case is there any way to stop the hard drives being polled ?

no pattern at all, very random, sometimes minutes apart (just been about 40 seconds from launch for the 1st, then about 20,, then 35.. cant set a time im afraid. just gone for well over a minute now ? :S

1, yes win7 ultimate 64 bit 2, Asus R2E on X58 chipset (new rev for this board)BIOS 1914, I7 920 D0 @4ghz, 6gb Corsair dom' 3, 2x GTX480's in SLI, running 266.58 @850mhz, both under water 4, no ext'storage apart from a NAS box but as thats on the network and spends most of its not that. 5, windows sits on a intel 160gb G2 SSD, also have the intel onboard road running a pair of 150gb raptors for some program files and a partition for paging and temp files. and finally a 1tb samsung f3 for storage. all the above drives run via the raid setup, only the 2 raptors in raid0 though. all drivers are the latest, chipest, raid, ssd toolbox, video, keyboard (using latest legacy as the new G19 logitech drivers are buggy), mouse, NIC, usb to serial adapter for the UPS, Koolance prolific driver and latest software for the TMS+ add on.

Just formatted the PC and thought it about time to trial Aida64 again in the hope its stable enough to purchase sad thing is as soon as it is running the mouse skips and at the same time MP3's stutter, as soon as AIDA is turned off everythings back to normal again. there is no pattern to this, its random stutter with a split second freeze of the mouse. let me know what i can do to help troubleshoot it as i would like to have this running on the win7 sidebar at all times.

installed the trial again as i have just formatted the pc and noticed the koolance shared memory is now working, also stutters for me, mouse skips and MP3's stutter. close aida64 and everything returns to normal.

maybe they will but at this moment in time they are trying to fix an issue where the card alarms as soon as the pc boots up, if they ever get a fix for that they may help, i won't hold my breath for a quick answer though i guess the problems with the vitual com port not allowing more than one application to query it. hence me thinking you need to be able to monitor there software and not the hardware. i was under the impression there software was now open source ?

so in reality tms200 support is pointless unless you want to lose the ability to control all the components connected to the card that the tms software controls.. great. maybe you could contact koolance to see if there is any way to monitor the application instead of the hardware ?
