T60 Frequency/Temp Utility

Message

#1 Post by **Harryc** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 9:36 am

I am looking for a simple low resource utility to display my T60's core temps (both of them) and core frequency. I want it to sit on my desktop(and or systray), much like Mobmeter does. I'd use Mobmeter, but it does not display the individual core frequencies, but shows a cumulative total. In other words if core 1 and 2 are each running 1Ghz it shows a freq. of 2Ghz. I don't want something as complex as NHC etc. Must run on XP and Vista. Recommendations?

Core temp : http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/

CPU-Z while reduced in task bar display freq in real time : http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

EVEREST Ultimate Edition, RMclock, TPfancontrol also display freq and or temp.

Thanks for the reply. RMclock is perfect. Although it is a bit complicated, I think I have it set for what I need. I disabled all management by the tool and let (Thinkvantage) Power Manager handle things using my default profile there, so basically it is just a nice monitor that sits in the sys tray. It seems to require little system resources.

I was also looking for a temperature display, so I downloaded CoreTemp.

It fails with a message:

"this processor does not support DTS readings"

CoreTemp website says all Core 2 Duo are sopported.

CPU-Z says my T60P is equipped with an Intel M Core 2 Duo T7200.

Any ideas?

I have the same processor and it works fine here. I have no idea what the problem could be. Good luck.

You run last bios for your T60p ? This soft works fine with my T60p.

It seems that this appened from time to time and it's quiet hard to understand why : http://forums.techpowerup.com/archive/i ... 24824.html
