Core Temp 0.99.6

[MisterPinst]

Excellent! Looking forward to the new version - this app is exactly what I need as I'm operating my cpu and case fans at very low speeds via a fan controller and need a safety net in case some rogue process starts punishing my CPU

Glad to see it's an AMD coding issue and not a mobo issue - otherwise that one might have been much harder to figure out!

Just tested it on my X2 based system and it works like a charm now.
Thanks for the bug reports guys.

When does the next version come out?

[The Coolest]

Soon enough, I'm just adding the final touches to the program.

Core Temp 0.99.7 is now out, give it a go.

[MisterPinst]

Success! Excellent work - overheat protection settings are now retained on my AMD Phenom II x64 BE processor.

Any tips on running this as a service rather than a user process? Are you considering putting this in a future version?

[The Coolest]

Not at this time.
I simply don't see enough of a reason for it. If you want thermal protection, simply run Core Temp, set it to display an icon in the system tray, unless you want to see the temps and you're set. You can also set it to start with Windows in Minimized mode.

[MisterPinst]

Ok - running it as a task during Windows start-up is what I was doing before (rather than at 'any user logon'). I just was hoping that I could still see the temp in my sys tray AND have it start before any user logs on.

That being said my main interest is CPU Overheat protection, so seeing the actual #s in the sys tray are not important. It's unlikely that anything will go wrong pre-logon anyway, especially since I'm using AMD's C&Q mode.

Thanks again!

I just gave version 0.99.7 a go, and the Overheat Protection can work properly with my AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor, just as MisterPinst's AMD Phenom II x64 BE processor.

It can thus be seen that users' feedback is not to be sneezed at, so aren't The Coolest's attention and efforts.

Hey guys, a new Core Temp sidebar gadget is out if anyone's interested.
