Latitude E6400 Owner's Lounge, Part 2

The M4400 is the same hardware as the Latitude E6400/6500 hardware beside the Nvidia solution.

 

what are ricoh media drivers?

 

Hello folks,

As promised, here is the HWmonitor beta version that includes the E6400. I have already used it for a while and have reached one main conclusion: everything appears to work just fine. I get more temperatures than I'll ever need, fan speed is also there. Yay!

Even if you reach the same conclusion, please PLEASE contact the program author at cpuz[at]cpuid.com, I'm sure he will appreciate the feedback, whether it is a bug report or just thanks.

If you use HwMonTray to minimize this to the tray, or to share the values with other programs, I haven't managed to get that to work because of 32-bit / 64-bit problems.

I'd like to thank again the program author for his hard work and allowing me to share this with you all.

Enjoy!

 

Kudos, rep added. But I can't see the fan speed. What am I doing wrong?

 

I'm also can't see the fan speed

 

Should be the SD card reader driver...

 

i don't think you are doing anything wrong. I too do not see fan speed.

 

Not sure what I can say here. I added a screenshot below to prove I'm not lying. Have you tried Everest? Does Everest show your fan speeds?

I guess the best I can tell you is to send an email to the program author (see email address in my previous post) with your HWmonitor log (click File --> Save Monitoring Data on the HWmonitor window). Save that as a .txt file and send it to the program author, explaining that this is the beta version he gave me.

My previous E6400 had a loud fan, this one has a much quieter fan. Perhaps Dell uses several manufacturers for their fans (not uncommon), and your fans are different?

 

we didn't think you were lying, mate. and yes, everest shows me my fan speeds, but hwmon doesnt.

that shows PWM control -- can you in fact control the fans??

 

I have no idea. From HWmonitor you definitely can't control the fans.
