A clearer informative header would be very nice

The NVIDIA APIs don't report fan RPM, but rather than commanded fan speed as a percentage of full speed.  And the NVIDIA APIs only report the commanded speed, not the actual fan speed -- if you stop the fan with your fingers, it can't tell that this has happened.   To draw a header like the mock up you showed would likely be nothing more than just printing a full page when the log scrollls, starting with the header.  The only thing I wouldn't like about that is that if you wanted to keep a log in a file, heaving the header show up in the log file wouldn't be very desirable.  Perhaps the logging code could be setup so that it logs the header to stdout, but not to stderr, or something similar, so that it would be easy to exclude from I/O redirection, at least on Linux.  One could also just add new flags that enable a variety of optional logging behaviors.

this is already pretty nice, and in my eyes a big improvement. however, i'd really like to have a static part where you get all the info at one, and then the lower part could be the way its currently. in the end it could look like this (just a dirty 5min job):

Can you run more than 1 card in Cuda Manager?

I have 3 cards by "adding miner to manager" but only 1 card is running.

Use cuda manager for now , it gives you all that info.

would there be any benefit from implementing DirectCompute 5.0 for new Maxwell cards?

The best I could do was:

 cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt:2048 -H 2 -d 0 -C 2 -i 0 -m 0 -l T64x2

If you do -H 1, you could get 5-10kh/s more. It helped 3/5 of my 780's.

Are you guys using any remote desktop-ish tool?
I believe that gives major issues.

I'm not familiar with cgminer's output, but I gave Christian the beginnings of a patch to enable cudaminer to print GPU temps, fan speed, and power consumption data as reported by the NVIDIA drivers.  Not all GPUs are capable of reporting all of those measurements, but all recent GPUs will report temperature and fan speed.  Here's an example log from my patched version of cudaminer.  I'm sure that it can be improved a lot beyond the code I sent Christian, but this is at least a starting point:

Yeah, there isn't anything visible at all (this is *with* all processes shown for all users).

However I might be making some headway:
Previous settings:
GPU Clock Offset: 0
Memory Clock Offset: +500

I did this because I read somewhere that the GPU clock offset didn't seem to have much of an impact on hashing speed.

Anyway I just reset the memory clock offset from +500 to 0, and increased the GPU clock offset from 0 to 20. It was stable (but hashing slower). I cancelled Cudminer and it was responsive in closing. The system CPU usage wasn't through the roof after closing either. I repeated this with a GPU Clock Offset of 40. Same result. System fine. CPU usage looking healthy / normal.

I'm going to try to confirm this next, but this appears to suggest increasing the Memory Clock Offset puts a lot more pressure on the system both before and after(?!) mining.

cbuchner1, did you create cudaminer.com? Looks maybe legit (no direct download or donate buttons), but then it might be worth keeping an eye on if it's not your handiwork.
