What diagnostic tool is this?  

What program is he using in the video? -Thanks!

Hello

It doesn’t say anything in the description so for me, it’s hard to tell. Somebody else might know in here.

The best program I used in the past was Fraps.
I had 3 32” HDTV’s and Fraps could record it perfectly at 60fps.
Its only cheap and well worth it

I'm looking for a program that will show your CPU and GPU temps like his is showing in the video. I don't want to record anything.

Ok I understand you now

MSi Afterburner can do all of this !
There is a setting called Monitor. The Monitor resource display tool can give you heaps of information whilst playing a game. It can show you logging performance in a graph for just about anything you can think of. Like a side by side comparison of your Crossfire 8x slot vs your 16x slot and see which is performing the best and see which one is bogging you down.

Also has all of this, with an extra option of the on screen display, so you can pop it into the corner of the screen and monitor manually whilst gaming.

Hey, Pluginz! Thanks for all your help! I have another question tho. Is there a program out there where you can control your CPU and case fan speeds?

Good evening Seek,
Thank you too and not a problem.

Right, you were asking about cpu and case fan speed adjustments and monitoring.

The first simple easy option would be to use the motherboard dvd and install Asus ai suite 3.
It’s not a bad bit of kit overall, but when it comes to accurate temps, I found it slightly different compared to my bios.
As the Asus software is wrong straight out the box, any other 3rd party programs will be exactly the same, wrong.

Do you have a spare blank DVD drive space going free?
Or even a spare 3 1/2 “ floppy drive space?

This would be my choice Seek,

AK-FC-07BK

Akasa Thermal Solution

With this setup, it’ll be right at the end of your fingertips for instant noise control and temperature worries and all displayed at the front for instant access!
It comes with 3x very thin thermal monitoring probes that will clamp in between chips and heat sinks for the most accurate readings. Way more accurate than my Asus bios/Windows temps.

The floppy drive version,

AK-FC-06BKV2


The particular Akasa model I have Is fairly old now, 10 years old near enough. She keeps on going though, still looks smart so why throw out hehe. Brilliant bit of kit.

For now I have installed

Asus ai suite 3 and damn its confusing.

Not a bad choice there !
If this is setup correctly, you can make the fans spin at any rpm you like.
Try and stay away from the automatic fan settings as they’re useless.

Ai suite once set should have control over the bios fan speeds so nothing to worry about after the tweaking is done.

As a start then, I reckon it would benefit you if you got to know your individual fans in the computer case a little better. Get to know the absolute minimum and maximum speeds that each fan can cope with, making notes of each one, and treating them like family

For this personally, I would learn the min/max speeds in the bios so nothing interferes.

You have 3 brothers then,

CPU = Big brother
Case fan 1 = Younger brother
Case fan 2 = Baby brother

Assuming you have worked out the min and max of each fans rpm, then load up ai suite and goto the ‘Fan Xpert’ section
You should be able to see your 3 bro’s at the top, left to right scrolling.
When selected it will appear in the centre slightly larger than the others.

The graph then is showing you when each fan will start, and its minimum and max rpm point at a certain temp, and then raise up or down relative to that.
With you already knowing the comfort zone for each fan I’ll use this below as an example for you

Big bro,
CPU fan min = 1000 rpm
CPU fan Max = 2000 rpm

Younger bro
Case fan 1 min = 1500 rpm
Case fan 1 max = 3000 rpm

Baby bro,
Case fan 2 min = 500 rpm
Case fan 2 max = 1000 rpm

Play around with the graph curve for each fan, see how it reacts. Its start point and finish point.
It may take time to get the hang of it, but once mastered its pretty darn good.
I managed to get my machine almost silent ish from ai suite. Just the temps weren’t quite right.

Have a think about the Akasa front controller, you won’t be disappointed.
Especially if you do a lot of gaming

Good luck bud
