this program is for monitoring only, you can't change fan speeds with it. idu was to be available in December, and just today the message changed to January availability. Idu (intel desktop utilities), shouldn't be confused with idcc (intel desktop control center). I like control over the fans so that I can reduce the speed of them more so I'm perhaps the opposite of you as I'm not concerned with overclocking especially as the turbo boost is just really doing the same thing in a nicer more control fashion. I take your point about Speedfan, it does take a while to get support of these chips. Also the temperature measurement is from the actual silicon at the hottest part of each CPU so overall the processor is probably running quite a bit cooler. Under full load I doubt there is any fan or heatsink that will keep the temperaure much lower as it is being generated quicker than it can be transfered away from the silicon by the heatspreader on the CPU, unless you start going for more elaborated cooling. The CPU under load running at 70 degrees or so (the BIOS only starts reving the fan up at 80 degrees) should be no problem, silicon can run upto 150 degrees (but rarely does as other things start to go wrong before then, like plastic going soft and melting), and the CPU is rated to run at 99 degrees, or mine is anyway. imo, it'll be awhile till he sits and rewrites his program, which is free in the first place.Īll of Intels documentation say the board supports the Intel Desktop Control Center and the download section says available in December, what makes you think they will not release it for this board out of interest? and I wouldn't count on speedfan for right now, the author just released a version fully supporting the Winbond w83667hg chip, and these board, afaik, are some of the earliest implementations of the Winbond w83677hg chip. As for the IDCC itself, I haven't tried it, but I read a review on a different site, the guys back there clearly state that it basically sux for overclocking, as well as fan control, but at least it does it. way too hot, not to mention vr circuits, you can boil an egg on those, I'd say at 75C it should be running at 60-70% of full speed at the very least. currently, "off" works, but noise level is too high, and the "on" setting keeps the fan at lowest rpm until 60-65*C, and runs at about 30% of full rpm at 75C. another option would be to include min/max fan speed in a future bios version, instead of " control on/off" switch. To my knowledge, Intel isn't planning to release IDCC version for media series boards(I have the WG, too).
