Temps in SpeedFan

[dmdport]

I have no clue on how to read the different temps in Speedfan. What is the difference between Temp1,2,3, and Core? I have a FX 8350 if thats any important. I used a CPU Burner to raise the temps up to figure it out myself but im still lost.

My motherboard was $80. I got the cooler for $30.

Oh OK, yea that makes alot more sense now *wink*

And I noticed that you have the same processor as me (snooped on your profile) so I wonder if its a AMD specific issue?
And to follow up I went into the bios and set the Min and Max fan speeds relative to the temp. I just had no idea which sensor it was reading the temp from and I wanted to make sure they were running at full speed while gaming and at 800ish rpm's while surfing.

$80 from where? It's usually under $40
No where near worthy of no $50+
For $70-80 you'd be better off with a Noctua NHD14 or NHD15

Yea IDK WTF people keep saying that MSI AB can monitor the CPU; it does not do that. It can only see CPU Loads with regards to any CPU stuff.

IDK why you need SpeedFan, just go in the BIOS and set the Fans, done. Turn off auto fan controls and let them run at their intended speeds. Or get a physical fan controller unit.

For monitoring I would suggest something like HWMonitor or OpenHardwareMonitor; to which there is nothing for the user to configure.

So for HWMonitor do I want to pay attention to the Package temp. under the FX-8350 tab or CPU under the temperatures tab?

afterburner shows cpu core temps and usage, plus all the gpu monitoring have it on g15 lcd screen right now.

Like I've already said, I have checked and cannot find it anywhere. I'm not sure it works with my current setup. Im going to guess your running Intel? Cause my guess is AMD doesn't support it.

Then it's getting that from something else. MSI-AB > Settings > Monitoring has no listings in there for CPU Temps for example. So explain kindly, how u getting that from MSI-AB?

Here Ill provide him a screenshot. Just give me a sec.

I've only been using MSI-AB since oh, when we were all on WinXP...
I have the latest version and still it doesn't have any monitoring features for CPU Temps, only Loads. Now for the Logitech LCD feedback features, that might be other software involved, IDK. Cause I know the Logitech LCD Keyboards can display all that info anyways, without 3rd party software installed.

yes i have Intel, and yes i have core temp and usage

Then it might only show up on that then. Most apps are in-accurate for Temps on AMD stuff anyways. Even HWMonitor and OpenHardwareMonitor are incorrect.

It's also one reason why I suggest OpenHardwareMonitor though, because u can just change the CPU Temp > Offset to the one AMD is using, and thus get a more accurate temp to show.

ya probally logitech gaming software

How would I do that?

^TY, yes nothing in MSI-AB for 'CPU Temp'

I was hoping it would just let me expand it so I could get it in one shot but Afterburner is stubborn.

OpenHardwareMonitor > in the main display scroll down to "CPU Temp" > right click that name and click Parameters. Now the offset might different from board to board, so IDK really if there is a certain one people should use. For my 8350 I had to use Offset # of around 12 - 14. When I use this, my idle temp shows correctly at approx 30-32*C (instead of 12-19*C like before, which is totally wrong)

I also like OHM over HWMonitor cause OHM it allows "OS Startup" and "Auto Minimize to Tray on Launch" so its always there in OS start, it's lightweight, etc.

Now if u run very intensive stress tests, such Monitor apps might become unresponsive, to overcome this you can change the Priority in Task Manager to High, and that helps alot. Also turning off Hardware > Disk Drives can help too, as the Monitor app seems much more responsive when it's not monitoring those.

My dislike/con I see with OHM on AMD systems is it does not display the voltage correctly, like HWMonitor does. IDK if that is maybe Board-specific. Maybe your board will display them correctly.
