Release Version 0.3.0 Beta

  • Added support for Intel Sandy Bridge CPU core temperature and clock sensors.
  • Added support for core temperature and clocks of AMD Fusion (14h family) and family 11h CPUs.
  • Fixed the core temperature reading on older revisions of AMD K8 CPUs (family 0Fh).
  • Corrected the bus and core clock reading on Pentium 4 CPUs.
  • Improved the CPU clock reading accuracy.
  • New SSD support and wear level sensors for Intel, Indilinx, SandForce and Samsung drives.
  • Added support for manual fan control on ATI/AMD GPUs.
  • Improved the support for reading sensors on GPUs in Crossfire mode.
  • Added support for Nuvoton NCT6771F and NCT6776F super I/O chips.
  • Fixed fan speed reading on older revision of IT8712F super I/O chips.
  • Added a mainboard specific configuration for the ASUS P8P67 Pro, ASRock P55 Deluxe and ASRock AOD790GX-128M.
  • Added a “Reset” command to the menu, which allows to restart the sensor reading implementation without exiting the application.
  • Fixed a few bugs in the Heatmaster and T-Balancer implementation.
  • Reimplemented the device driver management code and improved the security.
  • Added the global flag to the Access_ISABUS.HTP.Method mutex.
  • Fixed the reseting of min and max values of HDD temperatures.
  • Fixed some scaling errors that occured when using 125% or 150% text size in Windows.
  • The main window can now be opened by double clicking the desktop gadget.
  • Improved the moving and resizing of the gadget on multi-monitor systems.
  • Added a WMI interface to provide all the sensor data to other applications and tools.
  • Fixed a few problems with saving and restoring the main window position and size.
  • Added basic CPU support for Linux systems.
  • Added support for AMD K10 (family 10h) core temperature sensors and Asus ATK0110 devices on Linux systems.

    Nice, yet more new features!

    This have become nr. Uno SpeedFan replacer for me. 🙂 Why? It’s easy to use, lightweight, shows all needed info in one single simple gui aaaand works well. I like it and highly recommend it! Hope it footprint won’t grow as features get’s added. Thanks, hope more people finds this.

    Hello, I wrote e-mail for you with Open Hardware Monitor modification. I added network interface to your program.

    • Michael Möller says:

      I have taken a look at your network interface you described here: Расширяем Open Hardware Monitor для работы в сети. It is a nice implementation, where you can get a text file representation of the current sensor data from a network location. But it requires some additional tools on the client side to nicely present the data.

      The WMI interface already implemented in the Open Hardware Monitor should be accessible from the network as well, but this requires also a custom solution on the client side.

      A JSON and XML based remote access to Open Hardware Monitor data can be found here.

      For the Open Hardware Monitor I intend to implement a remoting solution where the Open Hardware Monitor can be used as well on the client side to evaluate the sensor data using the same GUI as for the local data.

    Your program is awesome.
    One strange thing in this new version is the CPU temperature which is not right for my cpu. Here’s a pic of my temperature readings. However, thanks for making this program and updating it!
    (And sorry for my bad English).

    Thank you very much for the support! You are right, the problem is fixed.

    This program is absolutely perfect. SpeedFan starts up for minute and more, this is just in the moment. The temperatures can by shown in the tray and its free. I found some good program like this, but it was too expensive for me, am glad to found this good SW. Keep good work. And sorry, I must say I found two little mistakes:
    – Automatic start up is not functional
    – I have Samsung N150 and I can see only temperature of CPU and HDD, not the voltages and so on.
    I will be very glad if I can see my smart status and set the high temperature warning in the future. I am ready for contribute for this excellent work.

    • Michael Möller says:

      Automatic start up: Make sure that you copy the Open Hardware Monitor folder to a location on a local drive that is available at start up (network drives might not be available), start the application from there and then enable the option “Run On Windows Startup”. Also the automatic start up is lost if you move the Open Hardware Monitor to a different folder, you need to enable to option once more in this case.

      Samsung N150: Laptops and Netbooks use proprietary and undocumented hardware monitoring circuits and firmware on the mainboard in general. Unless some kind of documentation is available, it is very difficult to read any sensors.

    Hi. I’ve been using Open Hardware Monitor for ages. I think it’s great. I love the minimalist approach, with it’s clear view and it’s window position/window size memory (even after using CCleaner). It reads very well.

    I’d like to ask, what temp type does the CPU read? Tcase? I’m unsure what these AMD Phenom II X4’s use? Or the sensor for that matter?

    I use ASUS Crosshair III Formula with the IT8720F sensor, a AMD Phenom II X4 955BE 3.2Ghz Quad (125w C2 Stepping), 4GB Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz DDR3 at 1333Mhz (due to stand-by instability issues), a 1GB XFX 4870 on a 1010Watt FSP Modular PSU.

    Great program. Easily the best out there. Best layout, best features, hands down.

    • Michael Möller says:

      The temperature sensor shown directly below the CPU node is the core temperature read directly from the CPU. Any CPU temperature shown below the IT8720F node of the mainboard is usually a Tcase type of sensor measured with the IT8720F chip (measuring is done in the IT8720F, the sensor is in the CPU).

    Nice Tool, really. May I ask you to implement the temperature sensors from the Asus Sabertooth P67? I mean all of them. CPU-temperature is shown wrong in version 0.3.0. I tested version 0.3.0.3 alpha as well, CPU-temp is ok, but Auxiliary temp is now wrong. Shows 0.5°C, a bit cold I think 😉

  9. Seb says:

    I just discover your program, it’s really very good. Thank you and Bravo !

  10. Will says:

    Suddenly, the program stopped reading my individual core temperatures. Now, it reads “Core #1 – #4 0.0C” as shown in the picture linked.
