Hardware Monitoring
This page can be used to configure the Hardware Monitoring feature. Please scroll down to read explanation for this page.
Display temperatures in Fahrenheit
Temperatures on the sensor icons, OSD panel, Desktop Gadget, LCD and SensorPanel are displayed in Degrees Fahrenheit (instead of Degrees Celsius) when this option is enabled.
Enable CPU throttling measurement
This option can be used to enable CPU throttling measurement on Intel processors. Measuring throttling may cause system instability. Throttling is a self-protection mechanism of Intel processors to prevent physical damages due to overheating.
Enable disk temperature measurement
This option can be used to enable disk temperature measurement via SMART calls. Measuring disk temperature may prevent disk drives from sleeping.
Disk temperature polling frequency
This option configures the interval between disk temperature measurements. Setting this option to a value below 20 seconds may result in data corruption on old hard disk drives. On modern hard disk drives and SSD devices it is safe to set this option to any value.
Decimal digits for voltage values
This option configures the number of decimal digits to be displayed for voltage readings. For modern computers at least 3 digits is recommended.
Decimal digits for clock speeds
This option configures the number of decimal digits to be displayed for clock speeds, e.g. CPU core clock, FSB clock and memory clock.
Tjmax temperature
This option configures the Tjmax temperature that is used to calculate core temperature readings on Intel processors. Setting this option to automatic means following Intel Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS) specifications.
Degree symbol
This option configures the character to be used as a degree symbol for thermal readings.
