Temperature |

The Temperature tab displays the temperature of the hardware components configured for temperature monitoring during testing. Temperature display The minimum, current and maximum temperature of up to 6 hardware components is displayed. The temperature scale, Celsius or Fahrenheit, and the temperature sources are selected in Test Preferences->Temp / Battery. See Test preferences - Temperature. Temperatures are updated during testing; after a test is complete the temperatures shown will be for the previous test run. A color key shows which hardware is represented by a temperature timeline in the graph below. Temperature graph The temperature graph shows each of the temperature sources graphed over time. There are 2 lines of the same color shown for each temperature source, (1) a thicker line shows the temperature for the hardware selected and (2) a thinner line shows the temperature threshold for that hardware. One temperature line may obscure other temperature lines. The X-axis is time, and the Y-axis temperature. Up to the last 1000 temperature samples are stored during a test. The time axis is scaled based on the temperature sample duration (set in preferences). The temperature axis is scaled based on the temperature values and temperature thresholds. Example of the CPU maximum heat test temperature on an Intel Core i5: Note: Temperatures will be reported and graphed between -50C and 150C. It should be noted however that the valid temperature range depends on the temperature sources. For example, a HDD typically only reports temperatures between a possible range of 1C and 128C, while an Intel Sandy bridge i5 may theoretically report temperature in a range of -29C to 98C.
