Vista 64-bit problem

[SpateD]

I can't seem to get CoreTemp to work, it needs some.. digital signature.. anyone know a simple way around this? So every time I start while trying to OC my computer I can just open it up no problems?

Vista x64 requires signed drivers, something CoreTemp doesn't have.

So you can either always hit F8 to choose booting with signature enforcement disabled, or use alternatives.

I'd suggest the latter.

I use Everest Ultimate, which does the same job.
Speedfan should work as well.
Your motherboard utility will likely also work.

My recommendation would be Everest though.

n7, with Everest, do I need to add or subtract 15 degrees or is all like CoreTemp?

Also, does it work for Quad Cores?

Actually Everest is very similar to CoreTemp....always displays the right temps!

I just had it downloaded, and it looked like the WORST program in history... I mean it only would show me 3 cores, and 1 stick of ram, the other slot said TRIAL.. I couldn't bring up a page that JUST showed me the cores temps and what was going on, it was all on the bottom by the clock.. Totally disappointed with that.

Then find a non-trial version.

All temperature monitoring programs do is output what sensors report, so if you're getting different results from different program, chances are they're reading different sensors.

Another vote for Everest, I've got it on my sidebar on my secondary monitor, so I can monitor temps in games still.

I don't get it - I have 2 rigs running Vista and Coretemp runs great on both. I use the latest version, and made a shortcut to the .exe on my desktop. Then I modified the shortcut Properties to Run as administrator.

Never had a problem.

I use Vista 64 and I just use HWMonitor from cpuid.com for it. It works great, shows exactly what coretemp shows, and gives me other stuff tomonitor too. Perfect for my E4500.

Vista x64 CoreTemp tweak - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

Makes it work also, but I can't figure that thing out..
