Doesn't work in 64 bit yet Karateo....read the entire post before posting. :DQuote:

you are doing a DARN GOOD JOB!...many thanks!:up:
Under Vista 32, starting RealTemp 2.1 normally, I have the error "driver not loaded"
Starting it as administrator, it works perfectly.
now im getting 1-1 :confused: also with both 2.0 and 2.1Quote:

It seems my sensors are not stuck and probably at TjMax they will measure the same data; the slope of the linear curve seems a lot different between the two sensors and if I could adjust the two cores separately, probably I can compensate the different slope.
Any comment? :)
There is an interesting submission at Anandtech.

More than a few programs have been released over the last few years, each claiming to accurately report these DTS values in real-time. The truth is that none can be fully trusted as the Tjunction values utilized in these transformations may not always be correct. Moreover, Intel representatives have informed us that these as-of-yet unpublished Tjunction values may actually vary from model to model - sometimes even between different steppings - and that the temperature response curves may not be entirely accurate across the whole reporting range. Since all of today's monitoring programs have come to incorrectly assume that Tjunction values are a function of the processor family/stepping only, we have no choice but to call everything we thought we had come to know into question. Until Intel decides to publish these values on a per-model basis, the best these DTS readings can do for us is give a relative indication of each core's remaining thermal margin, whatever that may be.
Hmmmm.... I'm not entirely convinced my TjMax on my E8400 is 95C, although I'm more than willing to be told otherwise. I have a CoolIt Elite (and am soon moving to watercooling due to the noise) and made the following observations.
I tried cranking the MTEC to max cooling by dropping the desired coolant temp to 10C. My ambient is about 17C. Hitting a coolant temp of 21C was able to bring a CPU temp average across the cores of about 23C. I'm thinking that at idle that seems pretty accurate. Since I am under the assumption that the coolant temp is measured internally on the cooler itself, that would indicate the TjMax would be correct at about 105C, would it not?
The only reason I'm thinking this is because I'm set at ++ to get a temp that seems in line with the coolant temp at idle. Anything less would give me a temp below coolant temp - which shouldn't be possible. Once again, I am assuming that the coolant temp is measured within the Elite itself as opposed to any external sensors.
I don't think your supposed to do the sensor test at the low voltage. That is to determine your offset. Look at your idle temps and compare them to ambients. If they are too high or low use the -, --, +, or ++ setting to get core temps w/n 3-5* above ambient.Quote:

Forget about absolute temps unless you have an IR thermometer or temp probe.
Is this really a sign that someone at Intel has been checking out this forum and discovered that we're way too close to the truth now so it was time for a PR to try and throw us off the trail! :D Maybe Intel isn't very happy with software that shows that their DTS sensors sometimes get stuck on their new 45nm chips. This wasn't an issue before with 65nm.Quote:

I'm hoping that at an Idle setting of 0 with low volts and low MHz that your reported temps will go below ambient, like many other B2 processors do.Quote:

anybody?
Dom7184: If you can run at 1600 MHz then show that one just so I have something I can directly compare to. If you can go lower then post that info as well. The more data the better!
Isn't that the conclusion I came to in post #1? Interesting that Intel has never, ever said anything publicly about this subject until my chart showed the real truth. Remember, you read it here first at XS!Quote:

I'm running 64-bit Vista so I haven't been able to run the previous versions.Quote:

I am definitely getting confused here...
I have an e4300 at 1.4v and 3.0ghz and CoreTemp shows me 55c load. RealTemp shows me 40c load. A whole 15c gap? What's up with that? If it's correct...I'm pushing this thing farther.
What are the 2 reported Tjmax temps? If one is 85, and the other is 100 then there is your answer.Quote:

probably realtemp is 'more' accurrate...for now, i will use coretemp, since i am using vista64, until unclewebb is able to get his program to work in vista64..
