What's new:
Version 0.99 - 2nd May, 2008
- Fix: Incorrect recognition of 45nm Mobile Intel CPUs.
- Fix: CPU temperature not displayed in Core Temp window on Phenom CPUs (0.98 and 0.98.1).
- Add: Shared memory - developers now have access to Core Temp data.
- Add: Register dump to text file function.
- Add: Preliminary Atom (Silverthorne) support - Untested.
I was running Core Temp 97.1 (I added a shortcut into my startup so it would run constantly on my new Phenom 9600 computer without me having to start it every time) and was quite happy with it. Everything appeared to work excellent for my system. I sent a copy to a friend and it would not work on her system. While coming back to the site I saw there was newer versions available and thought I would try them. First I shut down 97, ran 98.1 and realized the temp showed on the task bar but it didn't show up on the actual application. Then I decided to try the Beta 99. Everything appeared to work fine then I noticed there was no Frequency readings, they are all listed as 0.00Mhz for all four cores. Load % appears to be working fine, shows 100% on all four cores with BOINC running which is to be expected. As soon as it is paused, the load drops down to around 20% with varying percentages for each core. Frequency on 98.1 worked correctly but I did not have any percentage of Load on it.
I'm frequently updating the beta (without public announcement) with different fixes, one of the fixes to the beta produced incorrect CPU speed reading of 0.00MHz.
I've just uploaded a new version (0.99.0.5) that fixes this problem.
Thanks for letting me know
Without people BETA testing and REPORTING errors how would you know what wasn't working? I consider it PROGRESS!!!! I am more than happy to let you know I think your program is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! I started using it to see exactly how hot my Sempron 3400+ was getting because it kept shutting down all of the time. Now I use it on my new Phenom 9600 to see how well my heatsink is working. It is a Thermaltake CL-P0075 with stock pad, the only one on the recommended list from AMD I could find anywhere to buy. Since the CPU was an OEM version I desparately needed one and have been a bit nervous about just letting it go without some sort of reference as to how hot BOINC was making it. I am running between 41 - 43 C MAX LOAD 100% all cores. Depending on what my room temp is at the moment. When Idle Runs from 26 (Of course the lowest I have seen is 18 C with Core Temp 97.1 - it was very cold that day) - 32(current reading 99.0.8 BETA). Unfortunately I just attempted to change from C to F and got the a F reading for a fraction of a second then I get the C reading with a F after it. Temp Log read is INSANE for this change:
02:11:03 05/08/08 CPU#0 (Core#0): 37 31 37 100 2310.69
02:11:03 05/08/08 CPU#0 (Core#1): 0 255 -127 100 2310.69

Later:

03:27:10 05/08/08 CPU#0 (Core#1): 0 255 -127 100 2310.69

03:27:10 05/08/08 CPU#0 (Core#3): 0 255 -127 100 2310.69
Went back to Beta V 99.0.4 and it appeared to work just fine.
Again just trying to help...
Phenom 9600 running Win XP Pro SP3
It is easy to point fingers, make accusations and CREATE problems. It is much harder to make suggestions and try to work TOGETHER towards a common SOLUTION or GOAL.
I'm just overwriting the older betas with new builds. Just use the 0.99 link on the front page. Current Beta is 0.99.0.14. You can see the included change log file for details.
When the final is released the front page will update
well if that is true my AMD Phenom Quad-Core 9500 (agenda) only shows one temp and nothing for the others
I get 4 freq. but all the same number and only 1 temp showing up. any ideas?

One sensor = one Temp
And since you have 4 cores you use them all at different times (unless like me you are running BOINC in which all cores will be at 100%) you will have different percentages. Which is basically what OUR wonderful friend THE COOLEST is telling you to "READ" which is how I knew what you were talking about. I had actually read the info about the software I installed on my machine. I did at one time have 4 temperature readings and believe me its not all its cracked up to be, just be happy you have one that actually WORKS like it is suppose to do.
BTW Coolest, Thanx again for a GREAT APP!!!!
Running the new BETA now Will let you know if I find anything.... The columns still aren't lining up in the Temp LOG.txt file but if that is the only problem I'll be happy with it. Note: I haven't seen it line up on any of them so its not just a BETA issue.
If I had Vista I am sure that would make me pretty happy.... even for the 64 bit... WOW I heard there isn't too much for that available, outdoing yourself I see.... the EGG is selling 64bit version ultimate for less than the 32 bit and I didn't understand why until I started looking at the reviews for it...seems it has people more upset at it than the original 32 bit version...Probably OPERATOR error in some cases though....I guess that happens when people don't bother to READ what is going on or is REQUIRED to run something... On that note I will leave it alone...Have a good evening

What is your logfile viewer?
You may need to change your viewer to a fixed width font for the columns to line up correctly in the text log file. In notepad: Format >> Font >> Choose something like Terminal or Fixed System.
I just finished making a basic mirc dll with Core Temp's shared memory.
It integrates into an old SystemInfo script (with moo.dll)
Currently it only outputs the next two lines:
CPU Info: {1 CPU, 2 cores - Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 (Conroe), 3006.00MHz (334.00 x 9.00)}
Temperature: {CPU 0: Core 0 - 47°C (100% load), Core 1 - 44°C (100% load)}
I think it's plenty for now. Later I'll add a reworked memory size\free function as the one in SystemInfo right now is outdated and doesn't work on more than 2gb properly.
