Does anyone know of a utility that can check my motherboard and cpu temps and voltages. Have tried Motherboard monitor but it doesn't support my motherboard so the temps might be wrong. I have a MSI motherboard and have PC Alert 4 installed but according to some reports on the net it is sometimes quite inaccurate.

anything?
 
Speedfan reports something as running at 127C in my PC, in Everest and in the BIOS nothing shows as running that hot. I wonder what it could be reporting on?

its your chipset - have the same problem. put a fan on it, and the temp actually increased instead of decreasing :confused:

Its also reporting my fans as running at 14 000 and 12 000 (now 24500) rpm respectively, it think it must just be some incompatibilty.

Everest says CPU is 28, GPU is 36 and HDD is 28...
 
yup - its not configured correctly, or your hardware isnt supported correctly with Speedfan. Mine isnt doing what yours is doing, but the chipset is forever near 65 degrees. If i install a fan on it, it shoots up to 70 - 75 degrees, almost like the sensor is working in reverse!!!.
 
I must say Speedfan works a charm. I have also installed Everest Home Edition and all in all I think I prefer Everest. The results/measurements of the two also correlates nicely. With Speedfan I can however have my CPU temp shown all the time.
 
Ns 347

I have resuurected this old thread as it had some usefull info for me but I need more help.

I have the NS 347 external hardrive that i have attched to the network to act a network storage.

We write backups to the device using Acronis. However a couple of times we have had the issue that half way through the backup the Acronis throws a wobbly and spits out a bad media error. I am wondering if the NS347 is overheating during long sustained writes(50gigs). It does not have a fan.

Is there any way I can get some software to monitor the temp of the HDD on the network? I have tried some but most seems to monitor the one or two HDD on a machine and you cant add a drive on a network.
 
If the backup is failing in the same place then it could be bad sectors on the disk.

A quick check for temps is to run your backup for a while, open the HD enclosure and touch the drive. If it's too hot to keep your fingers on for a few seconds then the drive is probably running too hot. It's always a good idea to have good airflow over your HD's even if they sit idle most of the time.
 
Not sure I want to open the enclosure while it is busy with the backup. Is there any way to monitor using software.
 
Unlikely if the drives are in a NAS enclosure as the software monitoring the drives needs to run on the machine the drives are physically attached to. Unless this is a built in feature of your particular NAS enclosure you will probably have to remove the drives and test them in another machine... probably not a bad idea to rule out bad sectors as an issue, you certainly don't want those on your backup device!
 
Next question, how best to check for bad sectors on the NAS
 
Same deal, unless the software running on the NAS has a mechanism to detect and report bad sectors you're going to have to remove the drive(s) to test.

Have you tried copying another 50 gig file to the drive to see if it succeeds? I've found Acronis can also give the bad media error when it is not writing data in a timely fasion i.e. it's waiting for the drive to respond.
 
Ok.

The NS347 is both a USB drive and a network one. So I have plugged it into the usb slots of my machine. I now get a drive error saying that windows does not recognize the device. Seems to be a USB related error. USB to IDE device not recognized.
 
What is a normal temp of a CPU? I think mine does 50c ...
 
Depends on the CPU, though if you're far over 60 when running CPU at 100% (for a while) you should look into better cooling.
