kilthro Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Please note that the "missing" cores are virtual cores only. They are not physical cores, and so they cannot have an on-die temperature sensor. I understand they are virtual but i have seen them spike in other software. Other monitoring software do display them such as Core Temp, hwinfo, basic disktop gadgets etc. Would I be able to pull the data in if this doesnt support it out of the box? I would hate to have to run two pieces of software but definitely like to keep an eye on them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 They're called "T_Sensor1", "T_Sensor2" and "T_Sensor3". Only Sensor 2 and 3 are connected in my system, therefor sensor 1 shows "N/A". They should be listed as Temperature #1, Temperature #2 and Temperature #3. However, in case you've got some other sensor devices in your system (like Aquaero), the values may be overwritten by the values read from that device. Please let me know if you think that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, temperature readout of Intel's DTS solution is quite responsive, so even if you read the temperature multiple times in quick successions for the same core, the values will be different in most cases. So the difference between a physical core and a virtual core is only by accident, they don't actually reflect separate temperature sensors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a major thing for me, though. Just a matter of completeness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
