nvclock/nvidia sensors and basic linux commands


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

Still tweaking with my Asus 9999td (NV40 fx6800 128Mb) I want to know a couple of things :

 

1- I would like to record the temperature as I am playing to make a decision on the settings balancing risk and gain... I tried as follow:

 

touch nvtry

nvclock -i >>nvtry

 

I thought this would give record and "pile" all the entries but it doesn't. I get a clean entry and the rest seems to be a mixture of ascii and text ! Probably a basic linux mistake, can anyone help?

 

2- nvclock gives me a temperature reading by accessing a sensor. Can this sensor reading be integrated in my gkrellm?

 

3- My system is a Ideq 210v from biostar. gkrellm gives me 3 temperature sensors and my Bios only shows one! I understand linux does have better access to the hardware but how can I find out which is which? One is CPU but what about the 2 others? Toaster? Iron?

 

Thanks for your help, I m now gonna board my loft and I ll be back...

what does output from nvclock normally look like? couldn't you just run it in a terminal and view the results after exiting the game, as they would be output to the terminal anways?

Here is the output, but I want a history of temps during the game.

Here is the snapshot for nvclock -i (I did an alias for nvi = nvclock -i)

 

I think it should be possible to insert in gkrellm's plugin fmonitor a command a bit like nvclock -i | grep temp >a file but so far that does not work.

 

Any suggestion?

 

:wall:

 

 

Sorry here it is after : [stephane@linux-box ~]$ watch nvclock -i >>nvtry

 

 

I get the file on the snapshot...

Hi

I don t use a script but a Console, so far i ve tried Konsole and RXvt.

Cheers!

 

SOLVED! I was making the error of not putting my commands between two [ ' ] when running the command watch.

watch -n 5 -d 'nvclock -i| grep temp>> nvtemp'

records every 5 seconds the board and GPU temperature and output them as a stack in a file called nvtemp!

 

Really great, thnks to all for your help!

 

Stef
