realtime graphs for cpu / bus speed and vcore and temps

Memphis Raines · 26 Oct 2009 at 18:03

I have been letting my Gigabyte P35-DS4 mainboard do its own thing as far as the so called 'auto overclocking' goes, and it seems to do it pretty well all in all...

I have a Core2 E6550 2.33Ghz cpu with a bus speed of 333/1333 and 7x multi

in its standard form it will bounce between 6 and 7x multi 2000/2333mhz speed

the m/b overclock plays with the bus speed jumping up to 386/1546 indipendant of the multiplier.

these play well on their own, but it would seem the vcore cant be changed on the fly like the speed, this has resulted in an increase in core temps from 38 idle ish to 54. and pushing 70 under load (using a passive cooler btw) load temps where stable around 50 under load before enabling the auto O/c option.

So even when idling at 2ghz the vcore must still be higher....

Anyway, what i would like to be able to do is find something that will log and create a graph for the core speed, bus speed, vcore and cpu temps so i can see how it is performing while in a game.

I have had a look around and havent found anything that works how i would like so far, I am running Windows 7 64bit (which wont make the search any easier sorry... )

thanks for any happy

I don't know if Rivatuner can be configured to show CPU details? I know it can do realtime graphs for GPU details... I'm going to reinstall rivatuner on my 64bit Win7 tonight and see if it works. At work at the moment so its a little hard to try right now! (32-bit XP with an old s775 P4)

thanks for that option, i havent seen any way of making rivatuner monitor cpu temps tho... there must be a way to do this, i have seen reviews with graphs showing some of the info i want, and problems like CoreTemp and CpuZ can easily monitor everything i want graphing... just need a program that actually captures the data...

Think occt will output data to graphs. might be worth a look.

hey mate, thats pretty much exactly what i was looking for... output wise anyway

It does only seem to work within its own benchmarking tho, i and doesnt graph cpu/bus speed only load and temp.

also the temp it displays in the program seems not to match what it graphs, the program was saying 69 degrees and the benchmark would fail cos of overheat error, with 90 degrees on the graph..

it seems very accurate on the graph tho, just the difference between what the programs and the graph are stating.

so still looking for something that can graph cpu / bus speed or can do what occt does not while benching...

I got a E6300(1.86)@3.0Ghz and the temp 25c and my Volts for the CPU is 1.14V
Auto volts is not the way to go at all. This is also on a GA P35 DS4
The reason your CPU is going up and down is that speed step is turned on in the bios.

Read the sticky about overclocking at the top of this section.

yeah i dont usually let the auto bios do its thing, but i just wanted to see what it actually was doing while in a normal load situation, just to see how good / bad it is
