Overheat protection Execute program does not work

[boink10]

Hi,

am using coretemp to stop my system from overheating by running a script which limits clock speed when a certain temp is reached.

This works exactly once, then the script is not started although baloon popup and flash coretemp are triggered correctly.

The options are set as described, also see screenshot.

Please help, coretemp is my last hope for my sick system!!

Actually, this was "by design". I may implement an option to choose whether to execute once or every time overheating occurs.

Please seriously consider this.

Reducing cpu speed via batch is a very practical solution and it surely beats shutting down the system. And restarting coretemp after each batchfile run is a crude workaround.

That would imply defining a time of irresponsiveness after starting the external program so multiple concurrent execution is prevented.

Actually I am mystified why I couldn't find any other posts discussing this kind of solution, that is reducing clock speed in response to overheating. Seems the most natural thing to me and since Vista it's easy to accomplish via batch file.

I had the same problem with a program execution.
I want to play an *.mp3 file upon overheating. every time it occurs

Done. In the next release you will be able to uncheck an "Execute once" checkbox, to make Core Temp execute the app every time an overheat occurs.

great, thanks a lot!! am anxious to try it out!

I am well aware this thread is almost four years old, but does anyone know where i can get the batch file shown in the screenshot in the first picture? I have an Acer V3-571G gaming notebook which overheats to 101 degrees Celsius when playing games such as GTA IV on low graphics settings. To prevent damage to my laptop, i have set CoreTemp's overheat protection to 99 degrees, but it gets really annoying because my laptop keeps switching off now. This batch file could help me by underclocking the processor rather than switching off the laptop to reduce the temperature.

Tomorrow i plan to dismantle my laptop and clean the fan, but i don't suppose it will make a significant difference.

If anyone knows the batch file used in the original post, please let me know.

Thanks.
