I was looking at my recorded stats, and I found these weird jumps between 0%, 50%, and 100%. Notice how it begins after I launch the game (FC4). IT does not do this with all games from what I can tell. Here's a chart:

Any information appreciated thanks  Undecided

EDIT: I wasn't clear but my question is: is this normal? should I be concerned?

[SUGGESTION] Ping an IP and expose that data to RTSS and network

I'd like to say first that this is one of my favourite pieces of software, awesome work guys. 

A killer feature for me would be able to display the ping to an IP address that I can set along with the other sensors I display in RTSS and as bonus from other computers on the network to the same or a different IP.

Is this possible? I know its not strictly a 'sensor' but it'd be a great addition to the visible network stats.

HWiNFO64, v5.00 - Computer freezes completely after 6-10 seconds

Dear community and developer

I'm a newcomer to HWiNFO and after reading a bit on the internet I decided that it looked like an attractive way to monitor and display CPU temp and usage during heavier workloads. Planning to get a water cooling device, and I'am testing the water so to speak..

Poor jokes aside, I ran into troubles right off the bat. Within the first 5-6 seconds after starting the software it freezes the computer completely. I cannot even use the old ctrl-alt-del trick, but have to restart the computer manually.

I tried to find some advice in earlier posts, but could not find anything that worked for me. I've tried "unchecking GPU I2c Support" and "SMBus Support", an also tried to exclude the 0x33 address. This was ideas recommended in this possibly outdated post (http://www.hwinfo.com/forum/Thread-Solve...at-startup)

I have the dbg file attached and also a picture of what's displayed as the machine freeze and my systen specs.. I noticed that the guy in the earlier post (link above) also had a Radeon 6850 card. Don't know if that has something to do with it, just thought I'd point it out. I have a crossfire link between an ATI and a Sapphire version of this card.

My level of understanding is low, so regard me as somewhat of a n00b. I'd really appreciate some help here.

Kind regards Jonas

Hello, I have two machines with exact same hardware, software and configuration (i think), however when I run a benchmark I've got great differences.
For example:
Memory transfer speed: machine 1: 1837 / machine 2: 1478
Disk read burst rate: machine 1: 105,39 / machine 2: 2,06 (real??)
Random read: machine 1: 17,51 / machine 2: 2,07

What can possible be wrong?
Open to all suggestions.
Thanks

Attached is a gif of my HWiNFO sensors screen compared to MSI afterburner on the left, and the Windows performance monitor on the right. The usage of the CPU is being incorrectly reported by the sensors.
Relevant system info:
Intel i5 3570K. GTX 970G1. SSD 120GB C drive. HDD 1TB E Drive. 16GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM. Windows 10 Build 10240(64bit). HWiNFO64 v5.0. 

Is this something caused by my system or is it a program bug?

3 copies of h80i and a crash

Soo...

I'm not sure this first is even a bug.  Lately I've noticed 3 copies of the h80i sensor data.  When I go into sensor settings and reset the ordering, it stays that way.

Next, you told me to turn on debugging and give a debug file output.  So, I turned on debugging, turned hwinfo (64) on a few times and back off and still, 3 copies.  Finally though, I turned it on once, and...my computer crashed.  Although I'm running a borderline-unstable overclock, and was doing other things at the time too, I've never seen a blackscreen crash of this sort, and the CPU was happy to restart immediately - unlike a typical instability crash.

I've also been running hwinfo basically full time for months with no issues.  So I guess it has something to do with debugging being enabled?  But still, it's very strange.

The debug file is attached.  Uh, it seemed to grow after I restarted my computer; normally hwinfo starts automatically but did not appear to do so in this case.

Query re power sensors

I use the Sensors when asking for peoples PSU info and find they come through with some really good info but I am finding it hard to sort through the readings that I get for laptops as the info is really limited to what volts and capacity of charge in each cell is. Is there another section I should be looking at to find what the different "rails" are working at inside the machine?

Storage Sensors Suggestions and Data Units Question

July 21, 2015, 10:22 am

Hello Smile

First off, thanks for all your hard work on this outstanding program ^.^

I am wondering if it is possible for you to add a sensor for lifetime-Terabytes-written to a drive ("Total Host Writes" as it's sometimes called); I believe most SSDs contain this information in their SMART data, but I could be wrong. This information is of interest to some people concerning SSD longevity in write-intensive environments, and of course it's nice not to have to break out CrystalDiskInfo every time you want to see that one piece of info.

I've also noticed that the "remaining life" percentage on SSDs defaults to 1 decimal place, but only counts down in integers so it's a bit pointless to have the extra ".0" on the end, and the same goes with every temperature sensor I've seen across the board. Not sure if this is worth bothering to fix though. Anyone can change it manually of course but it is nice to have things default to the most sensible setting in the first place, especially since changing it for every single temperature sensor in the suite can be a bit much, if you're the sort of person who's bothered by it... Tongue

I also wonder if you could put in sensors for hard drive capacity, used space, free space, etc... Although I can't imagine that no one has asked for this before, so you must have your reasons for excluding it... Again it's just nice to have any data you might possibly want to see all in one place. One can always hide those sensors if they aren't interested.

And lastly, I must bring up the dreaded "decimal vs. binary byte groupings" topic... This is really a broader question encompassing system RAM, storage, and network readings; I wonder if you have more specific information about which groupings are used for various readings? Does it just depend on the device/software that HWiNFO reads the data from?

System RAM is typically grouped by orders of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.) but labeled as KB/MB/GB, so I'm assuming that behavior is the same in HWiNFO (thus, I can change the units for my RAM from MB to MiB without setting any multipliers to convert values). But storage drives typically respect the newer conventions instead, where KB/MB refers specifically to orders of 1000, and orders of 1024 are labeled with KiB/MiB, so to change the units to binary I would have to set a multiplier in this case to make sure the readings are exact.

And what about network? When my Total DL says 400000MB, is that 400000x(1000^2) bytes? 400000x(1024^2) bytes?  What if I want it to display in GB/GiB instead? Should I set the multiplier to 1/1000 or 1/1024? At large values the difference is quite significant. If 1000GB is already in binary and just labeled wrong, I can change it to 1000GiB without changing the value. But if it's in decimal, I need to apply the proper multiplier which will change it to 931.3GiB. Not exactly a negligible difference. Can you shed some light on the situation for system RAM, storage, and network alike? Though I suppose depending on how HWiNFO gets its information, you may not know Sad... Well anyway... I do wonder if it's possible to set a special toggle for these types of values that just reports everything in Bytes... then we can set the exact multipliers ourselves to ensure accuracy Smile

(Oh almost forgot... on the topic of changing readings from 400000MB to 400GB, naturally the reason I'd want to do that in the first place is because reading long continuous numbers becomes difficult Tongue Any chance of allowing us to enable thousands-separators for certain sensors? Ideally we could have a US/EU mode toggle too (activate it to use "," for decimal places and "." for thousands separators everywhere, instead of the other way around).

Thanks again for all your work on this program Smile

Gadget stuttering

I'm unsure as weather or not to post this to the bug section considering what i need in bug reports to post there, so i thought i would ask the community first.

I've used hwinfo for about a week now and 3 days in my gadget started stuttering at what seems to be random intervals. What i mean by stuttering is that it will display all the values i have selected then drop the connection to the program saying 'ERROR could not read HWiNFO monitor data' then come back within a couple seconds, sometimes a couple seconds sometimes a fraction of a second. nothing consistent. It's not the scan times, i checked that.

I was wondering what could possibly be causing this? if you need any system specs i can gladly list them, any error reporting i may need a step by step to get the necessary info required.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated because this is the most accurate and feature rich hardware monitor I've found to date.

I am trying to start HWINFO32 though the CMD line and output a single value to a file.
I just need to capture the Vbat and output it to a txt or CSV.
Is there an easy way to do this?

So far I have the INI set in a way that I can start it from the CMD and it only outputs the Vbat in the log file but I can not figure out how to start auto logging on start up.
Is there a way to have it auto log to a file with out any interaction?

Thanks,

Custom 6 Channel USB FanController

July 24, 2015, 3:53 pm
$

About 1 year ago, i started working with microcontrollers, as one of my first projects i desinged a basic 6 channel USB-fan- / waterpump- controller.
I recently did a complete rewrite of the host-application and decided to open-source this baby for any computer-enthusiasts out there.
Further i decided to include the use of HWiNFO for temperature readings.
Martin (HWiNFO Author) was kind enough to provide me access to HWiNFOs SharedMemory-interface (which is, as per request, a closed source proprietary part of this project) for this.

Without any further ado, lets take a look at some pictures!


[Image: 2015-07-24_2343.png][Image: 2015-07-24_2343_001.png][Image: 2015-07-24_2344.png][Image: 2015-06-06_0324.png]

The picture of the Hardware you see was actually from my first prototype, nothing really has changed since then on the hardware-front, except i decided to hide it behind the motherboard-tray.

And here is one i built for a friend
[Image: 2015-07-25_1805.png]


The Hardware is able to control up to six  3pin or 4pin (PWM) fans independently from each other through voltage regulation, and of course, you can add fan-spliters or just build more headers on!
Fans can be individually shut off; The Fan startup-voltage can be auto detected or manually be dialed in for this purpose.

You can also set a different temperature reading for each channel to react to.
This is useful if you have two dedicated watercooling-loops, ie. one for CPU and GPU.

Of course you can also take FULL manual control over the fans voltage. At least until a certain CPU-Temp gets exceeded

Without any running host-application tough, all fans will speed up to full speed regardless, this is implemented as a safety feature, in case the computer hangs up or something else happens.
Also all the power for the microcontroller (as well as the fans, of course) is provided trough Molex / S-ATA, instead of USB, so it can shut off, when power for peripherals isn't provided by the psu anyway. 



You can find the full source-codes (except HWiNFO plugin), schematics, parts-list as well as prebuilt binaries (incl. .exe installer) at my github:
https://github.com/Alia5/atmega328p_6_ch...controller
https://github.com/Alia5/FanControllerV2


If you want to build your own, you can contact me for any help, either here or trough my e-mail which you can find at my github.
I am also willing to provide pre-built hardware for a little more than material + shipping cost, but i do not know about shipping to other countries (living in germany).
I suspect the demand will be very small, if any, so it will be enough to handle.

Please keep in mind, that is a free and open-source project and if you have any soldering-skill or happen to know somebody who can solder, you almost always are better off building yourself. You also need to be able to burn a firmware onto a microcontroller or find someone who can (an Arduino would be enough for this).


If you just want to build the hardware-part or use a prebuilt one, and don't want to tinker with any sourcecode of the software, i've got you covered!
As well as I'm providing the aforementioned prebuilt binaries, the software has an update notificator, and can download new versions on request.


I have to say though, I am NOT(!) an electronics-guy, I am an IT-guy, thus i can't and will not provide any warranties, or any responsibility for any damage might caused to your hardware if you are building one for yourself or are using a prebuilt one. Please keep that in mind.
Although i can say that i have been running my first one for over a year, until i lost it due to a watercooling leak, without the slightest issue!
Friends of mine also never reported any issues that could cause any damage.

Is there supposed to be a significant disparity between these two temperatures?

At the time of me writing this thread, my Core Max temp is 43°C, however my CPU Package temp is idling at 52°C.

I've noticed in other threads that the CPU Package temp is the preferred one to be using, but couldn't help but wonder about the significant difference in temps or if that's abnormal.

Asus Embedded EC chip get bugged T_Sensor values

July 27, 2015, 1:11 pm
$

On my Asus Rampage V, I use the ASUS EC chip to report temperature value on my liquid coolant (its a wired temperature sensor that you can place anywhere. I simply taped it to the outside of the tubing and insulated it, works well).

I'm not concerned about lag or CPU usage as I put it on a conservative 20 second interval on sensor refreshes. Periodically, sometimes the sensor bugs and returns a -115C or 116C value but returns to normal on the next read. But eventually, within a couple days, it gets stuck at -115C. There are 3 T_Sensor values. Hot-plugging in the wired sensor to a different header doesn't fix the issue, and neither does using a different wired sensor.

AI Suite, Asus's program for doing some motherboard specific stuff (fans, sensors, volt setting, clock setting, etc) also reports the T_Sensor values, but when its bugged in hwinfo, its bugged in AI Suite as well, simply reporting the last known valid value, or nothing at all.

I wanted to know if this could be a hwinfo-related issue that triggers the bug, and if it could be fixed.

I'll update to the newest 5.xx version, currently on 4.64-2530. I'm on 5.02 now.

Can HWiNFO Detect an Intel ES Processor?

Hi Martin, hope you are well.

I'm wondering if HWiNFO is able to detect if a processor (Intel i7-5820K) is an Engineering Sample model? I'm testing one for... someone that claims it is an ES model, but I'm not sure about that.

The Summary and Main HWiNFO information pages show the CPU Type as Production Unit. I don't see anything in CPU-Z or its report that states otherwise.

Basically the question is, does Intel put any metadata about their ES processors that can be read by other programs. I could swear I have seen other ES processors (different model/type) that could be identified as ES types.

Just wondering, thanks!

Number of PCI slots shown by HWINFO is not accurate

Hi,
        I am trying to use HWINFO to find our number of PCI slots available in the system, It appears to me that this info is not accurate.

        When i use this on the mother board "MSI B85M G43" it shows 3xPCI, 3xPCI Express x1, 1xPCI Express x16  (Refer the attached image file HWINFO_PCI_SLOTS_For_MSI_B85M_G43.jpg) while the motherboard really contain 2xPCI express x16 and 2xPCI Express x1 slots.

        Similary for Mother board "Intel DZ68DB" it shows 3xPCI, 3xPCI Express x1, 1xPCI Express x16 while it really contain 3xPCI, 2xPCIExpressx1, 1xPCI Express x16 
       
        I have realized that dmidecode is the tool which can show slot info, but this is not realiable, it appears to me that HWINFO uses dmidecode underneath resulting in this mismatch.

Thanks
Velan
