Testing Version 5.42

[fred]

Fixed: The mini temperature window, shows too many/wrong temperatures.

OK, I see there is something wrong with the temp windown

Much better in 5.42.  I like the separator between CPU and GPU also.  One odd thing though.  Of my 6 Phenom x6 machines, 4 show:

This Processor has 6 cores and  1 temperature sensors.

The other 2 show:

This Processor has 6 cores and  2 temperature sensors.

The latter 2 also show 2 identical CPU values on the desktop temperature window.  I think these 2 did a recalibration after restarting.

There is a button "Recalibrate" in the expert tab, you can try......
What happens at calibration.

The CPU is randomly loaded on all cores, to ensure variable load. So it's best to snooze BOINC before calibrating.
It scans the cores for different temperatures for a couple of times.
It checks for differences 0,1,2,3,4,5.
In this case at point 3 a different temp is found a couple of times.

The 2 that show 2 temp sensors are the one's that recalibrated when loading 5.42.  Stopping BOINC and recalibrating causes TT to show 2 temp sensors  for an x6.  Both CPU sensors show the same temp.  So something must have changed pretty drastically between 5.3 and 5.4 in the temp calibration (never had a problem with the temp sensors before 5.4x)?  Sometimes loading TT on the machines showing 2 temp sensors causes a CPU reading something like 42.2763832637485762536475876535364780010178663748598772846509267 to be appended to the end of the GPU temps.  Restarting TT again often fixes it.  Definitely something still going kerplooey in 5.42

Calibration is logged to the logging file: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\TThrottle\log

Look for Calibration start and end. I like to see everything in between.

I cut out a lot of the middle part of this file but it's still way too long to post.  It's 94k and the one on the other machine I recalibrated is 444k.

I found that by completely uninstalling 5.42 and then installing 4.30, TT recalibrated and found 1 CPU temp sensor.  Then reinstalled 5.42 over 4.30 without recalibrating and now that machine still shows 1 temp sensor.  A question is, how many temp sensors does an x6 really have?

My human eye shows only 1 core. So I have to check the program, why it calls the reading invalid, as it's clearly valid.
Should be easy to fix.

I can't find any info about AMD, only that it has one sensor.

4.30 finds 1 core, 5.30 finds 2, 5.42 finds 2.  So uninstalling 5.42, running regedit and deleting the TT settings, then installing 4.30 and letting it run calibration, then installing 5.42 over it gets things back to normal.  Sometimes regedit has to be used, sometimes not...
