PCH temperature reading

[zzzttt]

Hello, i have a motherboard with intel chipset h97 and the pch temperature has -128 degrees (the same in aida and other software I tried). Anyway the chip is not so hot, I estimate sowhere of 60 degrees

MSI Z97 Gaming 7, aida64(latest beta) not work monitoring PCH

Both issues are due to the PCH temperature diode being disabled or failed to be initialized by the BIOS.

do you know the name of that setting ? so I can check ?

There's no setting in the BIOS Setup for that.

I monitored the problem and something strange happens when I open aida64: >   I open device manager first time and all hardware are installed (I check ''show hidden devices''). After that I open aida64. All good, but after I check on sensor menu in aida64 and I push on ''scan for hardware changes'' in device manager then it shows that '' Pci Data and Acquisition and Processing Controller'' is not installed. Anyway the driver is installed and this thing happens only when I open aida64. After restart all is ok in device manager, but , again if I open aida64 on sensor menu it appears again that in device manager. I have windows 8.1 x64 pro. The people from gigabyte (the manufacturer on my motherboard ga-h97-hd3 with intel chipset 9) says that, maybe the 3rd party softwares aren't up to date with their technology. So far no software I tried doesn't monitor correctly this temperature (-128 or 128 degrees in all and never change a little).

Such things could happen when AIDA64 enables a certain chipset PCI device that is otherwise disabled by the BIOS at system bootup. Once the new device appears in Device Manager, try to reinstall Intel Chipset Device Software. It should take care of installing the drivers for the enabled device.

it doesn't work with reinstall (it is intalling but is useless it doesn't disapear from device manger, only with restart and appears again when open aida)
