Doing it the correct and Intel's way DOES REALLY matter !

Ever wonder how are those Intel CPU engineers measure Intel's own CPU in their uber leet lab ?

Warning, cpu pron pics inside, not advisable for minor !

Intel® Core™2 Extreme Quad-Core Processor and Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines Download the PDF file.

For those who likes quick shortcut, just go to page 81 and beyond !

After you've read that and if you believe it, next time you will start chuckling & gigling back there when you hear these kinda comments :

"TAT cpu temp reading rocks ! I ignore others"
"Coretemp is the best and I believe it !"
"Temp diode reading is the most accurate one"
"The Tjunction should be xxx, not yyy .... "
..bla..bla..

For those non believers even after you've read it, c'mon, if this Intel's document can not be trusted, then what else ?

Or that program that shows the temp that you "want" to believe ?

Conclusion ? Software based for absolute CPU temp reading is NEVER ACCURATE, period !
