Works great with my quadfire, every GPU is listed!
awesome job unclewebb!
Greetings unclewebb. First, I just want to say thank you for an awesome program. I've been running a Gulftown for a while and I notice running RealTempGT only gives info on one GPU, unlike RealTemp will give info on 4 GPU's. I don't know if I missed something :confused:
This one is small, with RealTemp 3.58. I can't change the font color for core #4. I can change it, but when I restart RealTemp it does stick. All other cores are fine, maybe it's just me. RealTemp 3.56 worked. Sorry to PIA.
I'm running EVGA 762 & 759 with Dual 295's (Dual PCB). Thank you :)
(These temps are not correct. Something is wrong with CPU senors)

CKY2K: I always appreciate hearing about bugs. There was one recent bug with colors not being saved correctly for the system tray which I fixed for the GPU but I'll have another look at that to make sure colors for all of the CPU cores are being saved correctly.
RealTemp GT was a quick one off special for Gulftown users but there hasn't been much feedback so I haven't got around to updating it with the more recent Nvidia or ATI code. I'll look into updating that in the near future.
21 & 35 C,not so good :shakes:
(max 24-43 C :down:)
Thanks for the quick reply unclewebb :)
(I don't mean to go off topic)
stasio: :yepp: yeah for the fist week the temps looked about right and then after that, they were way off. I'm not sure what happened. I just posted that screen shot so unclewebb could see what I was talking about (the GPU's), as you can tell I'm not to good at explaining things.
Intel's new 35nm temperature sensors seem to have a lot of error at idle and many of them read way too low.
Intel writes TJ Target information into each core of each CPU but TJ Target isn't always equal to TJMax. Actual TJMax might be 10C or more higher from one core to the next even though they all have the same rating of 105C for this CPU. With undocumented sensors like these, accurate temperatures aren't possible. The 45nm Core i7-920 sensors were some of Intel's best, very consistent. These new sensors are at the other end of the spectrum. The new Core i3 32nm CPUs have similar issues.
Edit: Another problem is that these CPUs are designed to turn individual cores off at idle or when lightly loaded. This can also lead to a lot of temperature variation from core to core.
Thanks you for info unclewebb :).
does anyone have or know the max temps for the i3-530-540's are?
i cant find this info anywhere.ive seen people go above 70c but im still
to much of a chicken to let it go above 65c.please help bak bak bah
Have a look in the Settings window at what RealTemp shows for TJMax. That information is read directly from the CPU and I think for most of the new Dual Cores it is 105C. This number can vary from one CPU to the next. A core temperature of 70C isn't going to hurt anything. When it hits 100C, give me a call. :)
Here's what I found last night when reading the docs:
Intel® Core™ i7-900 Mobile Processor Extreme Edition Series,
Intel® Core™ i7-800 and i7-700 Mobile Processor Series Datasheet
Volume 1
6.8 Error and Thermal Protection
http://www.intel.com/products/proces...e/techdocs.htm

Thermal shut down doesn't happen until 130C on these new chips. Lots of head room so don't be afraid to use it. PROCHOT# is triggered when the Distance to TJMax number in RealTemp counts down to zero and then typically 25C hotter than that is when THERMTRIP# is set and the CPU will quickly shut down your computer.
awesome thanks for the info and reassurance's unclewebb
I think I hit jackpot with TIM application this time ;). I broke a Venomous X but that is not important at the moment :p. Almost identical temps on all cores ;). I've never had them so close to one another. Guess that Chillfactor 2 is good for something ;).

where's 3.58 version? nm , found it....uncle doing great job !
It's a BETA versión. You can get it here:Quote:

They're all beta versions. Some are just less beta than others. :DQuote:

:D Good explanation unclewebb. I'll wait for next "less beta" versions :up:Quote:

Yes
Reported Temperature = TJMax - Digital Thermal Sensor Reading
Any software can read the sensor accurately but many monitoring programs can't agree on what TJMax really is so they end up reporting different temperatures.
Intel doesn't use a sensor that reports the core temperature directly. It's a sensor that works the opposite of a thermometer. As the CPU gets hotter, the DTS counts down towards zero. When it reaches zero, your CPU will be at its maximum safe operating temperature and will start to thermal throttle and slow down to protect itself from damage. The temperature this happens at is called the maximum junction temperature or TJMax for short. If you know core temperature of the CPU when it starts to thermal throttle then you can work backwards and with the above formula you can get an approximation of the core temperature when you are at temperatures less than TJMax.
Intel doesn't have any exact numbers for TJMax since it can vary somewhat from one CPU to the next and even from core to core on the same CPU. At one time they released some data and they called it TJ target. TJMax is somewhere in the general neighborhood of TJ Target but Intel left out details like the amount of error in this number, etc.
The newer Core i CPUs have TJ Target written into each core of the CPU but the same problem arises. If Intel does not say how much error is in this number then it's a bit meaningless but better than nothing and better than Core 2 based CPUs where software could only guess.
For a QX9770, actual TJMax might be anywhere from 95C to 110C on individual cores. At full load running Prime95 Small FFTs, if you notice that your core temps are all over the place, that's generally the reason why. Life would have been much simpler if Intel used a traditional thermometer like GPU manufacturers use.
I just wanted to report that the latest version doesn't recognize the gpu temp of a Gigabyte 5870 Ultra Durable.

Did you do this?

If you have an ATI card or cards then you can try this new code by adding this to the RealTemp.ini configuration file.
GPU=2
Thanks a lot, it worked. :up:Quote:

I've had issues with autofan control with some drivers and MSI afterburner and this comes in handy when temps go out of control.
Any way we can choose fonts for the tray icon? The default font looks a bit scraggly. Thanks.
You're welcome aamar. RealTemp offers a couple of system tray font choices in the Settings window but I agree that it is limited. The problem is that the system tray is only 16 x 16 pixels wide so it is very difficult to find a font that looks good and fits in that limited area. The other problem is that RealTemp's system tray fonts are not anti-aliased so they look a little rough and blocky. I might look into this again someday but with a limited number of pixels, there's not a lot you can do.
Uncle wouldn't be useful to write in the first thread how to start RT with Windows 7?
That sounds like a good idea. I wrote a nice tutorial a while ago about doing this by using the Task Scheduler so I might as well post this link on the first page so users can actually find it.Quote:

Edit: I just noticed. The link to that tutorial is already in the first post of this thread.
iddqd: Maybe everyone can go to their local store and ask them, "What is TJMax?" and drive them nuts instead of me. :rofl:
