- Fix: Version 1.4 crashing on Intel processors without Hyperthreading.
- Fix: Correct TjMax for Silvermont (22nm Atom based) and newer processors.
- Fix: Dual and quad core VIA CPU support. Corrected VID detection for newer Nano processors and added support for 28nm CPUs.
- Fix: Crash when logging is enabled on machines with 20+ cores.
- Fix: AMD Carrizo temperature detection.
- Fix: Corrected Xeon D codename to Broadwell-DE.

- Known issues: Some systems running Windows 10 Anniversary may still have driver load failure.

will be working at Zen CPUs this version?

[The Coolest]

Sorry, I don't have any info about Zen yet. If anyone has an ES running, please contact me via PM.

- New: Support for Intel Kaby Lake, Apollo Lake and Avoton processors.

- Fix: Incorrect multiplier on 45nm and early 32nm Core series processors.
- Fix: Sometimes power consumption doesn't work on supported processors.
- Fix: In cases where both IA and GT power figures are N/A, Uncore displays the same value as Package.
- Fix: Incorrect VID on Intel processors.
- Fix: Inaccurate TjMax on Silvermont based (22nm Atom) processors.
- Fix: Incorrect VID on AMD Trinity and newer processors.
- Fix: Corrected Lynnfield recognition of i5 760, i7 870S.
- Fix: Crystal Well and Haswell-ULT code names added for the Haswell generation.

I saw both CoreTemp & RealTemp are reporting the same temp for my i5-6600K.
But the temp of each core seem impossible it is nearly ambient temp.

Do I need to adjust some setting to have correct temp?

Version 1.6 - 18th February, 2017

- Fix: Runaway memory leak on some machines.
- Fix: Bus clock detection on Apollo Lake processors.
- Fix: Occasional 'to TjMax' appearing on some cores on Intel processors. Improved, hopefully fixed.

- Change: Subversion will now be shown in the title and About dialog if it's not 0.

What is the TjMax? What's the temperature and does it change with load?
Skylake are pretty efficient processors, and I wouldn't be surprised if they ran close to ambient at idle if you have good cooling.
Another thing to keep in mind, the thermal sensors can become less accurate when temperature drops.

Core temp freezing loop while linx test running and showing wrong power and core reading etc. Tested with all different ver of core temp but problem remains..

[The Coolest]

LinX is a very CPU intensive task and it basically leaves very little CPU time for other applications.
You can adjusts Core Temp's priority in Task Manager to a higher level to overcome that problem, or at least to minimize it.

Thanks for the new update!

Version 1.7 - 18th March, 2017

- Fix: 'to TjMax' appearing on some cores on Intel processors, should be completely resolved now.
- Fix: Incorrect build date displayed in the About dialog.

power draw figures is just got wonky on my machine. any reason for that? previous ver were fine working with readings...

[The Coolest]

Could you please post a screenshot and a register dump?

thanks

Hi guys,
Just wanted to let everyone know that a lot of work has gone into this version, mostly internal restructuring/refactoring/fixing/tweaking etc.
I made sure to test this version as thoroughly as I could, especially on different AMD systems, considering the issues the last release has had.
I Hope that this release works well for everyone, and would appreciate feedback if something looks wrong or broken to you.
