Tedwoodc Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Speccy doesn't display my CPU temperature. I have an Intel Celeron 331. OpenHardwareMonitor displays the CPU temp. okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Speccy uses WMI Classes to extract CPU temperature this method isn't compatible with older Pentium 4 or Celeon (old) processors. To read their temperature would require access the SMBus and probing the appropriate registers which should be easy to code Considering the number of other programs that support these CPUs e.g. SpeedFan and Everest Home Edition it would be rather disappointing for Speccy not to support such old basic hardware.

kroozer Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I have a Celeron 440. Speccy and SpeedFan agree that my CPU is 48?C currently, so Speccy appears to be compatible with the C.440, unless both programs are incorrect. I know that the C.331 is several years older than the 440, which may be why yours isn't reading. The 331 was first released Sep 2004, the 440 in June 2007.

redhawk Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 The Celeron brand is Intel's budget line of processors the name can be confusing because it's been used since the time of Pentium II all the way to Core 2 Duo - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron The Celeron 331 aka Prescott is comparable to the Pentium 4 processor and thus not supported by Speccy.

Tedwoodc Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi, redhawk and kroozer, Thanks for your input and thanks to redhawk for the Everest name. Looks good. Still prefer Speccy once they've got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedwoodc Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hi there MrRon, I've just installed Speccy 1.06.191. Still no CPU Temp reading. Bugger! Another thing: I'm getting the Runtime Error popup every second or third time I open Speccy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedwoodc Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Me again, MrRon, Just installed Speccy 1.07.205 and still no CPU Temp readings. Bugger again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrRon Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Sorry, this fix didn't quite make it to 1.07. I will see if I can get it in 1.08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphaa10 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 That would be a nice feature for AMD systems-- any plans for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
