StackOverflow13 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I just noticed that GPU ambient seems to be missing from sensor panel in the latest beta. Was this removed on purpose? Can we get it back?T Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Is it only missing from the SensorPanel? Is it still there on the Computer / Sensor page? BTW, what video card(s) do you have? Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, what video card(s) do you have? Thanks, Fiery I have 2 x gtx 680 SLI MSI Lightning. It's missing from all pages. Main page, (Under Sensor), OSD & sensor panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall Leonhart Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 This sensor has never been present on aida64 with GTX 680's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StackOverflow13 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StackOverflow13 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Update: actually it is, at least on my one in the latest beta. However vrm & memory temperature sensors are missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 GTX680 cards do not feature a sensor chip. On video cards you need a sensor chip to monitor such temperature readings as GPU ambient, GPU memory or GPU VRM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StackOverflow13 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks for the reply, so what's showing under gpu ambient on sensor panel then? It's different from gpu diode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks for the reply, so what's showing under gpu ambient on sensor panel then? It's different from gpu diode. Maybe your particular GTX680 card does have a sensor chip -- while most GTX680 cards do not. Please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> Video Debug --> nVIDIA SMBus Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. Using that dump we can check what's up about sensor chips and other readings on your video card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thank you. Your cards feature a Nuvoton sensor chip that provides 2 temperature readings (GPU and GPU Ambient) on top of the GPU Diode reading that is provided by the GTX680 GPU chip itself.

StackOverflow13 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 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????

Fiery Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 In theory the onboard CHiL CHL8266 power controller chip could also monitor a temperature reading (GPU VRM), but on GTX580 and GTX680 cards that reading is stuck at a fixed value, so AIDA64 doesn't display that temperature reading. I have no idea where GPU Memory could come from though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StackOverflow13 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks again for the prompt reply. werd afterburner shows fluctuating vrm & mem temperature readings not fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Maybe it calls the GPU temperature (the one that AIDA64 labels as "GPU") as GPU Memory; and it calls the GPU Ambient temperature as GPU VRM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StackOverflow13 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 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.

Fiery Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Your card have 2 chips (Nuvoton and CHiL), and they provide 3 readings in total, but AIDA64 only shows the 2 readings for the Nuvoton chip. If you could post 2 new nVIDIA SMBus Dumps, one when the card is at idle and running relatively cool, and another one where the card is after a heavy load (like after running 3DMark or a 3D game), we could check the VRM temperature readings (provided by the CHiL chip), because there's a chance on your card that reading is not stuck like on most GTX580/GTX680 cards.

Fiery Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thank you. Unfortunately the GPU VRM reading provided by CHL8266 is invalid in both cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StackOverflow13 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 oh so whats msi reporting, is it mem temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 No idea... Probably only MSI knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
