Good to see Intel support 3rd party software.
And happy birthday to you!

Great news, I'm glad Intel won't try to hide it anymore.
This is Great News !
I bet intel wont reveal the true TJmax and say a number that is like 10C lower than the real TJmax.
Cool! I'm interested in seeing how my processor is doing.
*btw haha at your avatar BuBBle.D
and tjmax effects us how ?
nvm im an idiot, some reason i was drawing a blank on tjmax was ... derrr O_o
thermal probes work on a non linear voltage scale of how far its lower than the thermal junction, so if we know the exact specs its much easier to make proper temp monitors
right now all temp monitoring programs use TJmax settings to refference the temp of the proc, the problem is that we dont know what the real TJ max is for the current processors and thus we cannot say for 100% certain that a temp from coretemp or realtemp is correct, we are just making educated guesses
Incoming dumb question: What was all the talk about the recently newly adjusted TjMax then? My E8400 now used 100 instead of 105 in CoreTemp, as I'm sure you all know.
Yes, indeed.
From what I gathered from the last presentation about the Nehalem is that the TjMax value is going to be programmed into the CPU's IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR for accuracy's and ease of use sake.
Why would they do that? There's no benefit for them in lying.
We only got values for the Core 2 45nm range, this time the information will also cover Xeons and 65nm parts.
Ah right, suppose it's no wonder that I didn't notice. Thanks for clearing that up.
No i dont know sh*t. Im just pulling pessimistic conclusions outta my pocket.
Like it or not, thats the way i am (sometimes).
Sure there is. People would panic and lower their 24/7 OC according to the temperature. Lower OC = less RMA even though there are only a few dead c2d cpus.
Intel's not going to lie.
They might change their minds and say, "nope, not giving it up!"
But they're not going to just blatantly lie, that doesn't even make sense. I'm a pessimist to the Nth degree too, but that's just silly.
October 20 – 21, 2008.. oh dear. They don't need an idf to release this inforrmation.
Well i sure hope they wont lie. We wouldnt benefit from it.
This is great news, I'd love to have guess-free temperature readings.
