Icons not displaying correctly?

[terrypin]

Hi,

Just started using your neat tool, which looks as if it will be
extremely useful, thank you!

Maybe it's down to me, but I can't get the icons working as I'd
expect.

Two of my three icons correctly show RAM and Load, but I'd like the
third to show me the maximum temperature (of any core). Or
alternatively show the max on all cores, using four icons (six in
total). That facility appears to be possible in Settings, but doesn't
work here on my Quad Core 2.66 GHz, 4 GB XP PC.

Here's a screenshot illustrating what I mean.

Hi Terry,

That is not a bug.
The 2nd option shows an icon for each physical processor in the system, and is mainly aimed at multi-processor (not multi-core) systems.
The 3rd option will display the absolute highest temperature of any core of any CPU in the system.
The system tray icons will always display the current temperature of a core, not the 'Max' or 'Min' values.

Thanks, understood. (I'd never heard of multi-processor systems and had read it wrongly as mult-core.)

The 3rd option will display the absolute highest temperature of any core of any CPU in the system.

Not sure I follow. Are you actually saying that "The 3rd option will display the current highest temperature of any core of any CPU in the system."? If so, the qualifier 'absolute' seems redundant. It made me think it meant the Maximum value of any core in the session so far. The word 'current' seems a crucial omission in the program's definition.

I now have the option 'Highest temperature' checkmarked. Does that actually mean 'Highest current temperature of the cores' (4 in my case)? If so, I'd suggest you consider removing the ambiguity. I read it to mean maximum temperature of any core in this session. To me, 'highest' and 'maximum' are obvious synonyms.

If I've got all the above right then presumably it means that, disappointingly, there's no way I can display just a single temperature icon which will constantly tell me the maximum temperature that any of my four cores has reached since I last started Core Temp?

In short, both 2nd and 3rd options should look/work the same way on a system with one CPU.
What I meant by 'absolute' is what you said, 'the current highest temperature of any core of any CPU in the system'.

Thanks. Maybe you could consider my requirement as a new feature?
