Nonsense min and max CPU core temperature values on system tray icons

Sorry then, you obviously on the latest nonBeta and already checked the dont notify for beta perhaps. You need to do what Martin said.So should I be seeing something else if I hit the "Check for Updates" button?
All that happens for me is that a window briefly pops up saying no updates are available.
Thanks for the info about generating the debug file.
@Martin if I do a "Reset Preferences" do I loose any sensors window adjustments? Like order, colors, alarms... etc
Yes, that will reset all settings completely.

Ah, right!
My machine was built mainly from second hand parts.
The processors were picked up used pretty cheaply considering that they were over a thousand dollars each when they were new!
The motherboard is from about 2009, and I was very lucky to pick up two unused ones pretty cheaply too.

FYI - the mentioned fix in Beta build was just released:

HWiNFO v7.01-4420 Beta released
HWiNFO v7.01-4420 Beta available. Changes: Enhanced sensor monitoring on ASRock Z590 OC Formula and Z590 Phantom Gaming-ITX. Fixed unintentional waking up of some NVIDIA dGPUs disabled by Optimus technology. Added reporting of PCI Express Resizable BAR capability and status for all devices...

Hi Martin.
I've tested this new version for a while now, and everything seems fine, thanks very much.
The clocks are being displayed correctly now for my second processor.
Just a couple of suggestions.
I assume that the sensor labelled "Core Temperatures" shows the average of the readings from all the cores, and seems to work fine, but perhaps its label could make that clearer, say call it "Average Core Temperature"?
Also, the pop-up on the System Tray icon does not tell you which processor that icon is monitoring. I've got used to the W83793 sensor options being labelled "CPU1" and "CPU2" and quite miss that. I'm not quite sure you you would implement it though.
The min and max temperatures stay correct on the DTS sensors BTW, but on the W83793 sensors they still go to rubbish after the system has been running for a while.
I guess that's nothing to really worry about now as there are alternative sensors to use!
My only other question is about Windows 98(!)
Of course the OS can only see Core0 of CPU#0, but that's all that HWiNFO can see as well. I assume that's intrinsic.
It does mean that I can't check on CPU#1 when I'm in Windows 98 except by still using the W83793 sensors, both of which still work.
I guess they don't need support from the OS to see the data?
Of course there's little point in monitoring CPU#1 if it's not being used, but I just thought I'd ask!
Thanks very much for everything you've done, and so quickly!
Cheers, Dave.

Check the tooltip when you hover cursor over the item about meaning of the "Core Temperatures" node. It's not only the average value.
Windows 98 doesn't support multi-processor systems. To read per-core DTS values this is required. The W83793 is different as it reads the temperatures using a different method independent of multi-processor support.
