Intel Thermal Analysis Tool

no wonder AMD fans think even the 65nm conroe runs hotter than an AX2 (not that it DOESNT, im not sure, but it doesnt run as hot as they think)

AMD fans think Conroe runs hot because they have no clue how hot their 100W+ Athlons really run. It doesn't help that so many Conroe users mistakenly think that TAT and Core Temp readings are somehow comparable to other cpu temps, because they aren't.

thats very true. my Scythe Mine's heatpipes do not even get warm under full load with my 6300@2.8GHZ@1.32 volts(bios) I think this is reading at the very heart of the core thus giving very accurate temps at that spot. Its cooler running than my old Opteron 165@2.7GHZ as I can feel the back dumping off much less heat.

Finally! Thank you. I'm so tired of reading opinions about how the bios, speedfan, easytune, etc. are reading some nonexistent mobo socket thermistor and that Core Temp, iTAT and Everest are reporting "true" on-die temps. While the second part may be true, it's important to understand that Core Temp, etc. are reading sensors that don't exist on any other cpu and are therefore not comparable. As for the socket thermistor theory, that's just plain BS. Every Intel CPU since the P2 has had an on-die thermal diode which has been read by the mobo to get the cpu temp.

Nice to meet someone else who "gets it".

mine worked just fine....does this crash computer.....dont want to crash computer....holy
this things says my temp is 35-37...my bios and LAvalys say its like 42-45....

My temps are a few degrees higher with this than Core Temp. Think I'll leave Prime95 running over night and see what the temps are like in the morning, reached 67c after a couple of minutes 100% load that's with 1.48vcore.

EDIT: It seems this program stresses the processor more than Prime95 because with two instances of Prime running the max temp was 62c on core 1 and 60c on core 2, that was with Prime running for two hours.

Of course. TAT stresses the CPU as much as BurnBX (BurnP6.exe) did. And that was the most stressful program out there.
