Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

With water you'll have to compare your core temperature to your water temperature so give it some time to stabilize. I don't have any experience with water but I've seen some tests where you actually get better idle temps with a Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme.

I just did a quick test with my Q6600 - G0. I usually head downstairs but decided to give it a try upstairs where the temperature beside the open computer was 21C and in front of the computer it was closer to 20C. The side panel was off but it's sitting beside a desk so airflow isn't perfect. I'm using calibration factors of 1,1,2,1 which typically has this processor within +/- a degree or two at idle. Here are the results:



Average core temperature was 26C and room temperature is about 20C to 21C.

Hmm... I don't have any water temp sensors installed (this is my first LC build and it was tough enough without adding sensors etc)

Still, you've given me a pretty decent guideline.

Temps in my room are around 18-19*C

I'm good with a rough estimate of temps, as long as they give me a ballpark so I know I'm not frying my chip.

I'll run a test of those speeds with those volts and see what I get.
