On my ECS NForce4-A754, the NB chipset fan is incorrectly reported as the CPU fan.

Both issues are fixed now. For the 754 board, earlier you said 'I further spotted the range of T3 CPU is -5.0°C to 66.0°C so maybe the ITE IT8712 is faulty.' But I noticed that in the BIOS it reports a stable CPU temperature.

In the meantime here's my HTPC, a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 reporting 5v as 4.1v (not reported in BIOS, but measures 5.1v). The PSU in this thing is a little sketchy so this was actually pretty concerning.

What do CPUZ + HWiNFO report for the channels? If I know this then I can ask around to try and figure out why. They both report single channel. Tidy-08 has been tested with X1050 + X1050 + X1650 + X1950 on Windows 7 x64 using the inbuilt drivers which support D3D meaning the GPU Utilisation was …

1.2v shows now. This time I'm only using one dual rank DIMM and I noticed it incorrectly reports as dual channel. If it matters, there's 1 channel with 3 slots, and the manual has a fancy chart but the gist of it is that with up to 3 ranks it supports DDR400, otherwise it drops down to DDR333 ( …

ECS NForce4-A754, with some wrong voltage readouts and broken fan reporting, should be one NB fan at ~4500 RPM, one CPU fan at ~3500 RPM. Actually the CPU fan shows up as 0 RPM in the BIOS so I am not sure what to think about this. Thank you for the report and posting the save file, when voltages …

It's reporting fine now (aside from caveat about the least significant bits that you mentioned). The board has 'CPU fan', 'front fan', and 'rear fan', each of which SIV got right. There's pads for a fourth header, also labeled as 'rear fan', which I assume is what shows up as 'system fan'.

Missing fan reporting on Intel D865GBF. The integrated GPU isn't supported on Windows 7, so I did a 'Have Disk' install of the XPDM drivers. So there might also be some weirdness related to that.

I've figured it out, your tools are taking the min tCL in nanoseconds, and the supported tCL bitmask, and essentially saying, if the memory was run as fast as possible for each supported tCL value, while not going below the min cycle time, what frequency would that result in. Interesting choice to …

Thank you for the report and it all comes down to what is displayed. CPUZ displays the maximum frequencies that can be used for a given CAS Latency and by default SIV does the same, but in addition SIV can switch to reporting the rounded/JEDEC frequencies. Given this what do you now think? I'm not …

There's a SIV bug with listing the DIMM's supported frequency, this video is of CPU-Z but shows the same problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHLiZJZuDao

SIV does show lower FSB when idle but it's something I never heard of happening.

Depends what you mean by interesting, most of my stuff is 'not retro' but in particular I do have two AMD nForce boards which I'll take a closer look at the next time I have them on the bench. Anyway, I'm dual booting XP and 7 on my Gigabyte EP45-UD3P now, and I noticed the memory clock reported by …

Yup you got the tRFC right, I changed it to 60 and it reflected in SIV. Nforce fan is within expected ranges now (seems to vary between 4700 and 5300 for no reason even in the BIOS)

Okay so the board has these fan headers in total: CPU fan, nForce fan, sys fan, VReg fan, aux fan, chassis fan, chassis fan 2. CPU and nForce are occupied, so I'm moving the 140mm fan between the others. Aux, chassis, chassis 2 are reported correctly in SIV. Sys and vreg seem unmonitored (no entry …

The nforce fan entry shows weird values, I attached one with the stock fan (~5300 RPM) and one with a 140mm fan (~1000 RPM) hooked up to the nforce fan header. Words are showing properly in the IO Nforce window.

Offset 34 oscillates wildly and looks exactly the same as if it was just a random number. But when I unplugged the fan with that screen open, it 'stuck' at whatever value was last there and stopped changing until I plugged fan back in. Is it supposed to be a counter or something?
