@ unclewebb
Apreciate Your hard work and effort you have put into this nice program RealTemp. :)
Here is my full air cooled system with 45n QX9650 at minimum CPU voltage 1.100v. / what Maximus Ext board allows
@ 1600 mhz (6x266) everything other on Auto / exept had to disable C1E for this low speed run
(other ways was not able to boot into winXp normally ... it does'nt load nvidia drivers and etc..)
- At Low speed screen, those ambient readings are marked with red box on Everest- and cpuid HwMon.panel
So, ambient was 21*C / double checked / with external probe (asus ME board allows this luxury :) also, i mounted a simple digital thermometer close to the CPU fan,
side panel is open and system was on idle, running 15min before screen shot.
(*Btw i have photos/screens of most Bios settings on that LowSpeed run, i can post or send if needed)

If compare temperature readings on [Stock speed] and [Low (downclock) speed], - at idle state the core sensors are never moving -
below 35 ; 35 : 31 ; 37
but they will go step by step upwards by rising case internal temp
( if i close panels and put all fans to minimum rpm, also at my case, there is much ''help'' from my video card what can do the ''best'' heat-up job ever :) )
here some Idle/Load runs @ Stock speed 2 screens (3000mhz) All auto C1E Enabled
Idle
