Compensation Tab

Motherboard Compensation;

default := Unchecked & 0;
If you check this box then the value you select with the up and down buttons will be added to the Motherboard temperature readout, You can use this to make the Temperature output equal to of your Bios.

If you do not know what to add then run the program for a while the Temperature is stable, then write this temperature down (value X for this example). Next go into your PC’s BIOS and write down the value it shows. Next do the following calculation: Y-X=. The value you now get is the value you should use as Compensation Value.

CPU LM75 Compensation;

default := Intel (+22);
This may be a bit complex to explain but I will try… The LM75 monitors the CPU temperature outside the CPU. The BIOS then adds a fixed value to this to show you the CPU temperature inside.

You can select Intel, AMD or Cyrix as CPU type. The values behind the names are the values added to the LM75. These values are the most common values I encountered while developing this program. However I also came to the conclusion that with the release of a new CPU or even a new BIOS this fixed value can change.

So to avoid updating the program every other week I also added a Custom Value option. If you come to the conclusion that the CPU Temperature that the program shows you is not correct then you can select Custom Value and enter your own fixed value to be added to the LM75 value.

If you don’t know what to add then you can do 2 things:

  1. CHECK this little list. It is by no means up-to-date but might help you out.
  2. SELECT Custom and PUT it to +0. Then run the program for a while UNTIL the CPU Temperature is stable, then write this temperature down (value X for this example). Next go into your PC’s BIOS and write down the value it shows as the CPU Temperature (value Y for this example). Then do the following calculation: Y-X=. The value you now get is the value you should enter as the Custom value.

WB Sensor 2 Compensation;

default := Unchecked & 0;
If you check this box then the value you select with the up and down buttons will be added to the WinBond Sensor 2 readout, You can use this to make the Temperature output equal to of your Bios.

If you do not know what to add then run the program for a while the Temperature is stable, then write this temperature down (value X for this example). Next go into your PC’s BIOS and write down the value it shows. Next do the following calculation: Y-X=. The value you now get is the value you should use as Compensation Value.

WB Sensor 3 Compensation;

default := Unchecked & 0;
If you check this box then the value you select with the up and down buttons will be added to the WinBond Sensor 3 readout, You can use this to make the Temperature output equal to of your Bios.

If you do not know what to add then run the program for a while the Temperature is stable, then write this temperature down (value X for this example). Next go into your PC’s BIOS and write down the value it shows. Next do the following calculation: Y-X=. The value you now get is the value you should use as Compensation Value.
