Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

RealTemp 3.58.2
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/...alTempBeta.zip

It might not be a netbook but I still don't like it. :)
I'd rather have a Core 2 Duo and if I wanted to have a low power C2D, I'd just under volt and under clock it, preferably using my new ThrottleStop tool.

I gave RealTemp a tweak or two to try and better support the Atom family.

What's your room temperature? I'm curious to see how far out your core temperature is even with the Intel specified TJ value. At idle in an open case I think the actual peak core temperature should still be about 5C over the air temperature.

25 oC room ambient, the sensors are way off. I'll try the new RT version and report at the beginning of the next week, I will be away for a few days.

Regarding C2D vs Atom, well, C2D has huge performance compared to this little guy, but you have to give it to the little guy... only 50W drawn from the wall in full load, for the whole system. It doesn't get much "greener" then that :)

RealTemp 3.58.3.....(?)
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/...alTempBeta.zip

3.58.3 contains a tiny fix to support Xeon Dual Core CPUs when you are running two of these on the same board.

The Skull=3 INI option handles this combo.

thx! 3.58.3 works grate :up:

the only thing that RealTemp is missing, imho, is a feature that allows one to see max temperature between all cores displayed in a single tray icon; adding this would simplify day to day use of this app :yepp:

my 2 cents: safe stress-testing with RealTemp

Code:

---

@echo off
taskkill /F /IM prime95.exe
taskkill /F /IM linpack_xeon64.exe
taskkill /F /IM linpack_xeon32.exe
taskkill /F /IM linx.exe
echo %date% %time%
echo PROCESSOR HIT 85c! STRESSTEST STOPPED..
pause

---

i use this simple code in a .bat file to stop active stress-testing if it exceeds my criteria for maximum cpu allowable temps.

note that you may be using other stress-testing software: for that matter, just copy the name, of the process that consumes 100% of CPU resources in your windows task manager, to the "taskkill /F /IM" line: you will be able to stop it when it reaches the alarm temperature set in RT.

to make this work you just need to:
1) copy the above code to a .txt file (create it in the RealTemp folder for easier handling) and rename it with a .bat extension.
2) open RealTemp, click on settings, then tick the "Alarm Temperatures" check box.
3) set the maximum allowable temperature that matches your criteria for safe stress-testing.
4) Click on the "Alarm EXE" button and in the "Open File to Run on Alarm" box change "Files of type:" to "BAT Files (*.bat)".
5) If you put the file in the RealTemp directory u will have to hit the F5 key to refresh, and then select the script you created in step 1.

test it before you run a real stress test: just set a lower temperature in the "CPU" "Alarm Temperatures" section :cool:

hope you find this helpful, i made this for myself, which is why i don't intend to get credit for this; just trying to be helpful to RT and the community.

What are the different exes for? RealTemp.exe, RealTempGT.exe, i7Turbo.exe... Can't find anything explaining what they do

You could always do something wild and crazy like try to run them and see what happens. :)

RealTemp GT is a separate version of RealTemp for the new 6 core Gulftown processors. It was the fastest way for me to create something for the 6 core guys.

RealTemp.exe is the main one for everyone else.

i7 Turbo is a separate program I wrote to give you a very accurate look at what each thread in your CPU is really up to. It's the most accurate tool to check for things like turbo throttling and can spot a problem before any other software will tell you about it. There is a separate thread for i7 Turbo somewhere on XS but I haven't been there recently.

vodka3dg: Excellent suggestion. :up:

lol yeah but GT and non-GT looked pretty much the same so I was like ?? and i7Turbe wasn't reporting any Min/Max values so was wondering if I actually need an i7 for it (have i5 750)

Hey Uncle, thanks for keeping this great util going :)

I have the parts for my new Gainestown dual Xeon in transit, will the standard version handle all 8/16 cores?
I will let you know how it works in a few weeks time!

i7 Turbo should work fine on most Core 2 Duos and the newer Core i7/i5/i3. When info doesn't show up in the Min/Max boxes it is because you have the Load Filter set too high. Set that to 0% and all info should show up immediately in the Min/Max boxes.

For Dual Quad Core systems, you should be able to use the RealTemp.ini options CPU=1 and CPU=2 to read each CPU. You will have to set up two separate RealTemp folders for this to work.

I need to add a similar option to RealTemp GT so the Gulftown guys can read both of their CPUs. Maybe someday.

BANNED until accomplised..:rofl:
I think in the next month your going to see a lot of dual 6 core SR2 machines here my friend..;)

Any idea when the AMD Hex Cores will be supported?
RealTemp Beta 3.58.3 will not run using a 1090T in a Crosshair 4 890 FX Chipset.

I highly doubt that you'll ever see an AMD CPU monitored with RealTemp.

You got buggy Core Temp 0.99.6 :(

Those new AMD Hex Core CPUs look very interesting and are at more of an enthusiast price point compared to the Core i7-980X.

Unfortunately, I haven't owned any AMD hardware in years and even if I had the hardware, I don't have the time for any new temperature monitoring projects. There's no money to be made writing free software and supporting the million and one Intel CPUs keeps me busy enough.

I've got a problem here, the gpu temp doesn't work

Gotta change something?

Remove that semicolon in front of GPU=2.

Thx, i should know that :shakes:

How about an option to have it start and run at different priority levels (high/low/normal/above/below/realtime)? :D

(I've tried doing "start /high C:\....realtemp.exe" from the command line and it still runs at normal :()

Tell me why you need to change the RealTemp priority and I'll see what I can do. I had to raise it above normal a long time ago because some programs like LinX were fully loading the CPU and preventing RealTemp from monitoring correctly. Anything less than its present default setting could cause a problem. There was also a bug in the Task Scheduler that lowered the priority of RealTemp to less than normal which wasn't a good idea.

I could come up with an INI file option to give you some more control of this. Just send me a PM and tell me what you need.

Hey, unclewebb, just to report, no problem reading GTX480 :up: ...but you probably knew that.

I'm always the last to know so thanks for the report.

Unclewebb, just wanted to let you know I'm still having issues with the font color with one icon on the task bar. It is always core 4 on my I7 980x. I'm using Real Temp 3.58.3 if that helps. Thank you for a wonderful program
and as always great support.

colt1911: The regular version of RealTemp looks fine but I finally found this bug in the RealTemp GT version. I'll get this taken care of in the next release of RealTemp GT.

In the mean time, you can go in to the RealTemp.ini file and edit this key:

IconTextColor4=0xFFFFFF

This keeps track of the system tray icon colors and is in a blue / green / red format. FF in hexadecimal is equivalent to 255 which means all that color.

0xFF0000 is a blue icon
0x00FF00 is a green icon
0x0000FF is a red icon

Save a color for the first icon using RealTemp and then just copy that value to all of the other IconTextColor values and maybe it will work.

Hopefully sometime this week I will get this fixed up along with a couple of other updates for RealTemp GT. It's been a while.

This seems to work okay but I also tried the GT version and it shows 6 cores (of my 8 real cores). The realtempGT.ini seems to have values for 8 cores ??

Maybe next version :)
