"Core Temp" - A program for accurate K8 temperature monitoring

[Larry]

Wow this program tells me my bios and udsm are way out

[NickS]

my EPoX 9NPA+ Ultra reads VERY high like yours too.. btw what heatsink do u have?

Nick

[Larry]

I have water cooling

[NickS]

Ah, that's why . My load is 40*C & idle is 36*C according to that proggy. modified XP-90 w/Panaflo M1A (low speed) and a naked 3200+ @ stock

[Larry]

Well this is my chip maximum look how far UDSM is out

[eddy]

I have a x2 4400. Why would the 2 cores be 6 degrees different? One runs at 36C and the other at 42C when idle.
Also, I still use MBM5 because I'm a noob. It says the temp for the cpu is 30C. Why the big difference?

[NickS]

That's why one core clocks higher than the other. Your IHS has bad contact.

Very Nice Program.

Core 1 has always been the weak core for me. At Idle it is 4-5 Degree's hotter and under load 8-9 degree's. Also this reads about 10 degree's higher than Speedfan at Idle and 20 Degree's higher at full load

[NickS]

Well of course. Your sig says 19*C idle 38*C load on a dual core with a big typhoon. You cant even get taht with water, rofl.

This was Pumpin the volts to get the Temps way up...

Looks like my temp readings are pretty close. Nice program

[largon]

My ambient is 28ºC but Core Temp Beta 0.9.83 reports 24ºC for idle and 32ºC for load instead of 38ºC from MBM.

w/ S939 Opty146 @ 2.8GHz, 1.47V under water.

This is interesting.
Any chance you could get me a GCPUID or CPUz dump of that CPU? I want to take a look at what the offset of the sensor is.

[NickS]

So are u sure that this sensor is 110% correct or..... it could be way off.

I mean it seems right on for me but

[SoF]

looked nice but testing on my rig was not good

~2°C (Mach I cooled), 2890 MHZ and 1.55V but the program has nothing correct well as long as it's working for others I say it's a good tool anyway

[NickS]

Yea he said above it doesn't read below 0*C

Only 0-127*C

I'm pretty sure it varies from chip to chip.
I'm looking into this in depth. I need more input, and text dumps from GCPUID or CPUz

[largon]

The Coolest,
See the attached GCPUID dump.

[NickS]

Here's mine, hope it helps. I'll also post a 3000+ Venice one later on this week.

woot zalman 9500 AM2 + AS5. was getting 36-39 idle on the stock cooler according to bios, which this is accurate to. ntune is way off

[Gak]

Why this program trustworthy?=

Cause i get a +10Cº difference to MBM wich i considered to be correct...

And if this is to be trusted i would like to correct MBM...

[nn_step]

Everyone spend $10 and get a working thermal probe. Which will be accurate to 0.01 Degrees C. Thus you will know EXACTLY how close it is to the real thing.

[NickS]

I think it's pretty freakin accurate

?

And how to measure the CPU internal temp?

[apex32]

yeah how accurate is this, from my other readings to this i have a 5-8 degree differene, i hope it is accurate because the difference is negative
