HDD temperatures?

~~CitySlicker~~ · Sep 17, 2009, 06:55 AM

why are there no HDD temperatures?

tried Sandra, HDtune, Speedfan but no joy. Speedfan does not even see any sata drives

ideas?

I have no experience with the AMD chipsets but two general possibilities are that the interface driver or the interface being run in RAID mode(BIOS setting) could obfuscate the sensors from being detected.

Try also HWMonitor: CPUID

Thanks for thoughts, mkk!

HDDs run in AHCI mode, downloaded HWmonitor and it's not listing any HDD

Is SMART monitoring enabled in BIOS?

~~CitySlicker~~ · Sep 18, 2009, 12:15 AM

Yes, it is but WD diagnostic (DLGDiag) tells no s.m.a.r.t info available
WD-Green series can do SMART so far so good, sounds like a bios or driver issue then

bit funny

Okay, reading here:

AMD 700 chipset series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...it sounds AMD has no SMART (AHCI) on any of the 7xx series chipsets.
This is a pretty shoddy attitude me thinks.

I think that this thread contains some relevant information: AMD Game Forums - AMD SB700 AHCI and RAID drivers

You could probably skip the first few posts and start from nanohead's.

nanoheads excuse is barely acceptable coz SMART was working just fine under AHCI on 939 socket mobos.

RaidXpert? - tried that, and is not reporting any hdd temperatures even it tells SMART is available.

Temperatures, for me, only report only under IDE mode and that's it
