    I think what Jason was asking was if you are using a calibration factor in RealTemp. This is where there seems to be errors in the data coming from the on chip digital thermal sensors. Without any calibration factor, temps below ambient or below your water temp are typical. If you can, post a screen shot of RealTemp with your system at idle. Data from someone that knows their system temps inside out is just what I need.

    bryanw1995: I don't think that tjunction is 100c on a Q6600. I don't know if realtemp has it right at 85c, either, unfortunately...
    There are two different Q6600 processors. RealTemp uses 85C for TjMax for the B3 stepping and 95C for the G0 stepping. The best thing about RealTemp is that there is no reason to be sad. If you have done your own testing and you know what TjMax is for your processor then you can set TjMax to that value. If RealTemp is assuming TjMax=85C for your processor and you know it is 95C then go into the RealTemp.ini file and do this:

    TjMax0=2
    TjMax1=2
    TjMax2=2
    TjMax3=2


    This bumps TjMax by two 5 degree steps for each of your cores. If you believe TjMax=100C then bump it three steps. Problem solved.

    Check the Thermal Specification for the SL9UM Stepping B3:

    and here is the same Q6600 SLACR Stepping G0:
    http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SLACR

    The B3 seems to have more in common with the other B2 stepping dual cores which are all TjMax=85C. Here is an E6600 B2:

    I also seem to remember when the original Quad came out that people were complaining that with the retail heatsink and fan that they could get up to the throttling point without too much trouble. Show us some idle testing at low core voltage and low MHz so I can get this corrected if I have made a mistake.
