| Summary | 0000741: Zero temperature reading for SATA harddisk under heavy (harddisk) load | ||||
| Description | Hi, I've a system with motherboard Abit AN7 (Sata Sil 3112A Controller) and a Samsung HD501LJ 500GB HDD. Under heavy hardisk load I get zero temperature readings for the mentioned harddisk, while with idle harddisk the readings are OK. Also, this behavior is independent on CPU load. I've written a small test program to probe the S.M.A.R.T. and under heavy harddisk load a call to DeviceIOControl will often return an error, however if retried several times, it will eventually return without error - with this approach it was possible to read the harddisk temperature even under heavy load, although it took longer to update. I don't know if there is a better approach, but a quick fix is to implement an option to retry on unsuccessful DeviceIOControl calls... I think this issue is related to issues 0000123 and 0000515, I've also send an report from speedfan. I hope you can help to sort this out, thanx a lot! Regards Bajo | ||||

Interesting. Is the temperature properly reported when hard disk load decreases? |
|
|
Yes, it will be updated when the load decreases, sometimes even during heavy load... how many successful DeviceIOControl calls are required for HDD temperature update ? Will speedfan display zero temperature if any of the call(s) fails ? |
