Fixed: The temperature graph leaves a gap every 6 hours.

This is the release candidate...... ;D

This means, would be nice to finish some translations :-[ ???

Right. It's much easier in the new versions. ;D

Still some problem with temperatures of GPU in combined computer with APU & GPU.

the computer was working really bad so decided (I should have to do it some month ago) to do a clean install of the OS windows pro 8 x64 and everything normal
done the windows update to the latest
installed TT 7.14

perfect I could see both temperatures in their proper site the one for the HD7770 a normal reading and the one for the APU as usual in values near 0 Celsius for my surprise that sometimes I lost the mouse in the screen ummmmmmh why?

check in desktop properties and set to extend desktop to both screens (only one screen but to avoid problem connected to DVI (HD7770) and VGA (APU)) so the mouse just continues to the "other screen"  ;D exchanged to show only screen 1 (HD7770) and the second reading of GPU gone ?? ?? ??.

no to much rush, now check in the Server in BT about readings and shown that the slow one (APU) is showing the temperature of the HD7770 and the fast one (HD7770) is not showing any temperature.

why the readings are exchanged??

I'll upload a picture of it to the server to check how is that.

Look for this line: Gpu's found: 1, bus slots used by BOINC: 2 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
You should see 2 of them.

To manually override the setting found:

This should switch the two of them.

<GPU_SETUP>
  <Device_position>1;0</Device_position>
</GPU_SETUP>

Warning the tthrottle.xml is in UNICODE right now and the syntax changed a bit.
Check the example.

have this, how should be the switiches??

Gpu's found: 2, bus slots used by BOINC: 0 1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
TThrottle is using GPU device position: -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

<GPU_SETUP>

TThrottle is using GPU device position: -1 -1 means the values are not valid.

To reverse.
0->1
1->0

<GPU_SETUP>
  <Device_position>1;0</Device_position>
</GPU_SETUP>

The log should show: TThrottle is using GPU device position: 1 0

Only way to get proper reading is seting the OS to extend the desktop to both screens, I sent the logs to the server with setting one screen and seeting 2 screen.

the main problem with two screens when I'm only have one is that mouse could be lost in the course of the lost display  ;)

the best I get is the uploaded picture in the server as "final.png"

and set as:
OS: extent desktop to both screens (only one screen but MOBO vga and GPU DVI connected to same monitor)
TT:
<GPU_SETUP>
  <Device_position>1;0</Device_position>
</GPU_SETUP>


otherwise the temperature values displayed exchanged in devices reading 1 shown on device 0 - reading 0 shown on device 1.

already uploaded log file of final position with readings corrected as "2Screens_pos_correct.txt"

this could answer the exchange of temperatures:

TT is taking the GPU in one order and BOINC manager is doing the opposite so BOINC manager is telling to BT the order of the GPU and saying that the APU is the 1st and the 2nd is the dedicated GPU.

for this reason should I must to exchange the order in TT to be agreed with the BOINC Manager findings.

It seems the BOINC client does things differently.
On NVIDIA it works, but apparently not with AMD.

That's why the manual correction is still in place. 8)

This function was build in the BOINC client so TThrottle could find the right GPU device.
Apparently the doesn't work as advertised, but for now I think it's a BOINC client bug.
