winbond 83627 problem

NTDEV

Hello

My motherboard sensor is winbond 83627.
As the spec direct,I can get CPU temperature,system temperature,CPU fan speed
through read the data port.

I have three problem():

  1. My CPU have two Core,can I get the two core temperature through the winbond sensor?
  2. How to get the video card(GPU) temperature?
  3. I know that HDD temperature data included in smart information.
    Get SMART information can get HDD temperature.
    My question is that besides the SMART method, can I get HDD temperature through the winbond sensor?
    Can I realize the these through read the winbond sensor method?
    (It seemed that the winbond spec didn’t show how to do these)

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Best Regards
frank

I am not a coder for this thing but I think “speed fan” source code is available and I am sure I have seen it claiming to work with Winbond sensors.

I suspect that you’re not going to get a better answer than, “ask Winbond.”

Also, as I’m sure you’re aware because it’s been discussed on every archive
ad nauseam, accessing I/O ports of other devices is a recipe for disaster.
Imagine another driver in the system doing the same thing. The BIOS may also
be accessing these ports, so you might have a problem there as well unless
you are working with the BIOS vendor.

I think both cores have the same temp :slight_smile:

  1. How to get the video card(GPU) temperature?

I never ever heard about such sensors.

My question is that besides the SMART method, can I get HDD temperature through the winbond
sensor?

Surely no, it is motherboard’s sensor and not HDD’s.

Thse I can confirm, not because of my programming but due to my limited habit of gaming on PC. :slight_smile:

>I think both cores have the same temp

No they are different, an individual core temp usually changes due to the way thermal paste is applied (if not-uniform) or because of the CPU cooler is not correctly placed.

>I never ever heard about such sensors.

Separate GPU (PCI Ex) card from nvidia, ATI surly shows there temp, which raise when playing game, varies with FAN speed. I don’t think same is applicable for on board GPU chips though.
