Xtreme Low Q6600 G0 Temp on Air !!! (Lots of Pics)

[XtremeTiramisu]

That's a hard-coded value (based on the determination that it's a quad), not something CoreTemp can 'read' from the cpu. My guess is that it's wrong (again).

Very nice - Congrats on the new chip!

BTW, I know you've read up on the Tjunction issue, but it's possible (probable) that was also increased by ~10-11C with the new stepping, which would make it 111C now, instead of 100C. I think at this point we just don't know yet what the value truely is supposed to be.

Could you do your next screen-shot with CoreTemp set to display the distance to Tjunction? - that's the only important/meaningfull number - how far you have to go before the cpu throttles itself.



...of course the only reak meaningful information is whether or not the system is stable at some setting, but if you use that option above, it will help you determine 'why' it might not be stable at some setting .

As per requested:

Tjunction Remaining.
My brain is too tired to work out the calculations right now, care to do that for me?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm too eager to find out myself so I just did the calculation and it's indeed Tjunction at 100c.

100 - 65 Tjunction temp remaiing = 35c Idle Coretemp.

Take 35c Idele coretemp's value and - 15c = Speedfan's idle temp readings (It reads 85c Tjunction instead of the actual 100c Tjunction from the Quad6600 G0)
