It used to seem pretty accurate to me too until my IR thermometer proved that it can't be 85C.

The new Tuniq just arrived. It transfers heat better than the OEM cooler so the core temp readings at idle, based on TjMax=85C, should decrease and look even more ridiculous.

At 1200 MHz and 1.100 volts at idle, my OEM heatsink goes from 22C to a steady 62C with the fan disabled. Those little cores in there are putting out a huge amount of heat even at those low settings. The DTS is always reporting from the hottest part of the core so I think people are under estimating the true core temperatures.

Even with the computer sitting in Stand By mode the cores put out enough heat to raise the OEM heatsink by 6C above room temperature.
