You have to register to download SpeedFan version 4.34b38 but it has no problem reading the on chip digital thermal sensors in the E8x00 processors. If you have the problem where the temperature on one or both of the cores is not changing between idle and full load then the problem is that the sensors in your processor are stuck which is common. Not great quality control by Intel but as long as the DTS sensors start moving before your processor reaches TjMax then they're doing the job that they're designed to do.

This is simply not the case. With Coretemp, both sensors do not go below 37C. Both temps do scale logically above that when I run Prime or OCCT, so, my sensors are not "stuck".
With V4.34 B38, Temp one registers @24C, and only goes up about 2C under load. Temp 2 scales properly. Temp 3 is Bogus, and the last 2 are for the video card.
I know you have to register to download the Betas.
I have found that, with computers, there is little that applies to all, 100%. Once you realize that, life becomes much easier. Seldom is one person 100% correct and anyone that disagrees 100% wrong.
