  1. There was a post here in the last couple of days from someone who found a Windows app he thought was "better" than AIDA64 and he posted a link. Given that this is an AIDA specific forum, I'm not sure I would want to fall foul of the mods for pushing a competing product though Google is your friend !
  2. I am intrigued now - I am on an ASUS motherboard and so far (touch wood) I have had no issues. Is there something scary about ASUS I am not aware of?
  3. I have seen Fiery say in other threads that they are still working on being able to support the Corsair Capellix stuff. Seems to be a closed/proprietary thing that Corsair are reluctant to expose to 3rd party software. Fiery may have a more definitive answer than that though.
  4. I really doubt that you will get this functionality from Sensor Panel. Ambient room temperature might be a possibility if your motherboard has a sensor for that. Weather is not really what AIDA64 is all about, In My Humble Opinion !!!! I have a separate weather station panel. There is a unit that mounts outside in the garden and transmits data such as rainfall, temperature, wind direction etc to a panel inside which you can also connect to an online database. That might be your best bet - just my thoughts and definitely not a definitive answer !!!
  5. What would be a lot of fun for this idea is the sensor panel I am using is an external 1024x600 like many others are using, but the the one I have is a touch screen, which I don't use touch for, but reading this thread has given me an idea. So in theory if my CPU usage spiked I could just touch that CPU utilization gauge with my finger instead of having to fumble around with getting the mouse pointer down there and have it pop up a list of the top 5/10/whatever hungriest processes at that point in time That would be uber cool !!!!! Apologies for "poking the bear", but I am new to the AIDA world and I like what I see.
  6. Windows 11 has been out of Beta and in Gold production for at least 1 year now. If you are still on Beta you should update to the real version.
  7. Hi guys, This isn't a question, but I just wanted to share my learnings from the last 48 hours - its a good news story, trust me ! I have been designing and building my new PC slowly over the last 3 years and it finally saw the light of day last month. Part of my design was for a 7inch display to be used as a sensor panel mounted behind a suitable window in my case. After assembly I realised that the panel placement was not going to work and so it will now be externally mounted on my desk under my 2 monitors which is a much better solution. So, yesterday I was starting to assemble some of the measures I want to keep track of on my panel and this has revealed a stability problem I have in my build which I was not aware of before playing with the panel. I added 2 RAM sensors to the display, mainly just to check that the clock speed is correct, I'm not too fussed about timings or voltages. What this has revealed is that I cannot run my RAM at the advertised speed of 3600MHz, I can only run it at its default speed of 2133MHz. AIDA64s Sensor panel, together with the System Stability test allowed me to do controlled testing of this scenario. I am running 4 sticks of 32GB RAM for 128G total and I do know that running 4 sticks can be problematic. (And Yes, I did buy 1 4stick kit, not try to mix and match 2 equivalently specced kits - I am aware of that issue!!!), but they do say that even if you buy a 4 stick kit it is still not guaranteed. This is why many top end OC boards only have 2 RAM slots. So for now I am going to leave my RAM at 2133 as more RAM is more important to me than fast RAM. Shout out to the guys at AIDA64 - this is an extremely robust product and as well as enabling huge flexibility in designing amazing panels (looking through the "Show your panel" thread shows some very talented folks out there, I am not that clever. In my case the panel is an invaluable debug tool that allowed me to zero in on, investigate and validate an issue that I didn't even know I had. Well worth the money I paid for it - thanks guys. Sal P.S. It has now occurred to me that if I did start playing with RAM voltage, I might be able to get beyond 2133 and luckily the sensor panel can help me there too !!!!
  8. I have had iCue on my new system for a while and have just discovered AIDA which I am now using as well. My plan is to remove iCue altogether once I am more comfortable with AIDA. I have been active in the Corsair community for a few years now and a common thread is they keep saying iCue does not play nicely with other hardware monitoring programs so I am assuming it is a bad idea to have iCue and AIDA on the same system. In my opinion AIDA is a far superior product to iCue - I am building my first sensor panel now - something that is impossible to do in iCue. Again, just in my opinion, but I believe iCue gets in the way of a lot of other programs so I am choosing to get rid of it. It doesn't offer me anything that I care about that AIDA can't do.
  9. Hi folks, I am very new to the AIDA world, but I am loving the product, it is far and away the most flexible monitoring tool I have come across. (Bye bye iCue) I am setting up my first sensor panel on an external 7in display and it works great. When I reboot my machine though the default panel that is displayed is an older one. I have diligently saved subsequent revisions as I enhance it, but I have to go into Sensor Panel manager and manually select the latest one I am working on. Is there a "Open this sensor panel <the one I want> on reboot" option somewhere? I had the correct panel loaded and saved before I rebooted, but it went back to an older one. I haven't lost anything, but I can't help thinking there is a setting somewhere I have not checked. Thanks in advance. Sal
  10. Apologies for the late reply to this thread. I have just recently purchased AIDA64 Extreme and I find it, after just an hour or so of playing to be a far superior product to iCue which I have been trying to use to monitor my Corsair ecosystem, and really don't like, but have now pretty much given up on. Moving forward I will be making AIDA64 my monitoring weapon of choice and if anyone has any recommendations for AIO coolers that play nicely with AIDA64 then please feel free to suggest them to me. I am about to embark on my "build a sensor panel project for my system and AIDA64 looks like a very good way to get that done ! Sal
