Hey guys
I've tried TempMonitor, SetCPU and CPU-Z and none of them show the CPU temp.
Is there anything out there that works with the KFHD?
Figured it out.

I've noticed an unusual issue across various roms and kernels (including stock) I use setcpu to fix clockspeed at 1200 (both sliders set to 1200 and governor set to performance), when playing intensive games such as modern combat 3 or FPSE for a while and then looking at cpu spy i notice that the cpu has actually clocked down to lower speeds at various stages. This causes noticeable lag with FPSE.
This only seems to happen when playing intensive game apps. Has anyone experienced this or know why this could be happening?
Thanks
What temps you have when playing? Is your CPU overclocked? Sounds like CPU throttling to me.
Pray with me together: "Oh God, please send us gokhanmoral and tegrak to Galaxy Nexus forums here at XDA, so they can create a superb kernel and 2nd Core app that will save our GN from burning to ashes while gaming. Thank you, enjoy your weekend".
CPU is not overclocked, just fixed at 1200 using setcpu so it should not throttle down, this is what puzzles me

No no no no, you can't install some app (SetCPU) and tell it "burn my CPU" That's hardware level protection and you can not bypass it that easy.
setcpu is commonly used to control the clockspeed so if I set it to 1200 with performance governor this is what the clock rate should stay at irrespective of what app is running - and it does exactly this all the time except when i'm playing intensive games where it seems to throttle down to lower various levels.
This is just a way for me to maximise performance albeit at a cost of power consumption.
I'd be grateful if anyone else with setcpu and cpuspy could test this playing an intensive game. Not sure if its an issue with my G Nexus or perhaps I have misunderstood how setcpu works?

Wrong. Overheat protection works at hardware level and it always will have higher priority then any app. Same way works desktop CPU's: you can set desired clock in BIOS, but CPU will throttle it self if temperature exceeds (for example) +80C and there's a reason for that!

Before replying i tested that myself and there was noticeable CPU throttling after temp went over +40C or so.
EDIT: to backup my words - external link
"Dynamically controlled voltage, frequency and power based on device activity, modes of operation and temperature"
makes sense...nice call...is there a throttle governor hack?...to allow us gamers to have the values up a little higher?..i know its not good but is it possible...good thread and help here thank you...

Even if there was a way to get around the issue (if its indeed temperature throttling) you wouldn't want to do it unless you want a to a brick.
Whats FPSE? Also I've yet to notice slowdown in any game except GTA but thats a port.
Hi. I have a rooted HTC One X international version with the quad core processor supposedly. 1.5ghz but when i checked quick system info it says my cpu clock is only running at 1.4ghz. I have set cpu installed and i have ensured that ive set the min and max to 1.5ghz but still it remains at 1.4ghz. I dont know if it was like this before i rooted my device or before i installed setcpu, or if this is just the way its supposed to be. Please advice.
If ever this is unusual, could someone tell me how to fix it? Should i reflash the kernel or bootloader?
Thanks in advance for ur help.

i tried it and the cpu range shows as 51 to 1500 no probs.
try cpu spy, then run a bench mark service, then go back to cpu spy and check if it reached 1500ghz
Oh, sorry if I got misunderstood. Setting the range is NOT the problem. I can set it just fine, and the profiles work well too. It's just that if I set the min and max to 1500mhz, the ACTUAL cpu clock (the large number on top of the min and max sliders) remains at 1400. When I lower/change the min max, the frequency lowers/changes accordingly. But, as I mentioned, the max ACTUAL cpu frequency remains at 1400mhz even though the sliders are already set to 1500mhz.
So, I want to know if that's normal. I read from somewhere that the maximum frequency for multi-core is 1400mhz and the maximum frequency for single core is 1500mhz. But I'm not sure though so I want to verify that information.
Thanks!
Does anyone know the safe temperature envelope for the Tab S?
CPUTemp is the app I use to monitor mine.

In the past I have disabled DVFS using Xposed to reduce CPU throttling without issue. However this morning my 10.5 started getting very warm and sluggish. I checked and the DVFS module was spiking temps to 90C. Eek, not good. I re-enabled DVFS and temps dropped to high 60s low 70s. Don't know why the DVFS thing suddenly started causing problems but 90C is way way too hot.
I believe the main culprit here may be the latest release of Dolphin Browser 11.2. All other browsers are running at about 65C but Dolphin spikes to 85C. Not good. Will report this.
So may not be DVFS at all but Dolphin.
Running one run of antutu benchmark and the cpu temp peaked at 86c. That's without disabled DVFS.

Yep Dolphin is messed up. Huge temp spikes.
My SkyHigh kernel commit will answer your question
https://github.com/UpInTheAir/SM-T700-T705-Kernel/commit/ce1efd33185a5dcd2ad3d1cc989b23ee0153492b
CPU scaling decreased at 95 degC is normal and safe. Critical CPU temp at 110 degC
He guys,
I'm looking for a accurate CPU temp app for my tab s,do the CPU temp apps take temp reading of battery or CPU ? Has the CPU got a temp sensor on tab s?
You can try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yanyan.cputemp and enable "CPU temp overlay" in app settings.
My SkyHigh kernel displays individual core temp within Synapse app, with temperature sensor data read from A15 cores only. A7 cores have no dedicated sensors.
Directory is /sys/devices/platform/exynos5-tmu/curr_temp
Cheers,
UITA

The for reply,I'll give it a go,what should idle temp be and temp when I stressing CPU ?

30-50 degC, depending on usage and background processes
Anything up to 95 degC

Thx a mill
Setcpu I believe is out of date, no frills and CPU master both do not work as far as setting the values to a certain setting. Example, setting it to max with performance mode I see it @ 1.728. Was trying some benchmarks for the s&g's of it. and noticed I do not have full control of the CPU. Any ideas?
The answer to this question is Faux Clock. Thanks everyone!
