Wrong CPU Temp 3.5 inch

itsprstar

Hi recently mi LCD 3.5" screen is showing a wrong value of the CPU temp, as an example right now my CPU real temp is about 72 degrees Celsius but the screen is showing like 54 degrees!, i notice that this started to happen after I installed the latest version of the screen software, sadly I replace the old version with the new so I have no way of getting back the version that was working just fine!

(The current version of the .exe is 2.2.1.0 and the driver date is 3/6/2021)

Any ideas of why this is happening?

Hi, so de problem, may not be related with software or your LCD 3,5". The problem may be a sensor and comunication with the software. This also happens to me, my CPU is 70% used, but in LCD screen show 90%+.

For soluction this problem, i unistalled everything of the app TURING SMART SCREEN, in case you alredy try this, Try
download the new version again, https://www.turzx.com/2023/03/02/%E7%9B%B4%E9%93%BE%E4%B8%8B%E8%BD%BDdirectdownload/, and create a new directory in your disk, with name the your preference, and put the software that came with win.rar, put every archives there. after all , Once you have deleted all the old app, and downloaded the new one and take the win.rar that you downloaded and put it in a folder with whatever name you want, try running the software. If it doesn't work, it's probably your PC that isn't able to communicate well with the device.

I'm so sorry in case you didn't understand something, i'm brazilian and I am learning english. Good afternoon, i hope I've helped

davidpezzin I appreciate your advise and please don't worry about the english I myself am from Mexico so no worries here, as I mentioned before the app started acting this way since I download that version also I have to mention that I format my computer every couple of month so after I saw this behavior I took it as a pretext to format again but the issue is still present even after the re-format of the computer!, also I noticed that before there was 2 .exe files in the folder of the LCD screen software usbmonitor.exe and another one but in this version there's only the usbmonitor,exe weird!

So after a few thing to try I finally find the solution, first I confirmed my theory that the new version was the culprit by downloading the previous version using waybackmachine I downloaded the older version and indeed the CPU temps was now correct again, but then again I download the newest version and then compared the "normal settings" and indeed the newest version takes as CPU sensor de VRM/SOC temp sensor of my motherboard instead of the CPU temp sensor by default, so just by changing that setting I was able to "fix" this problem and now with the newest version set properly I have the correct temp of my CPU showing up on the LCD screen.

*Note I will upload a screenshot of such setting for someone with the same issue!!
