Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

guys, the term 'calibrate' implies that you're going to adjust a reading due to an error. How exactly are you planning to make an individual core adjustment given that you have nothing to calibrate it against. In other words, how to plan to measure the individual core's temp?

Good point, I am fairly sure that Idle temps will not be "Spot On", However to me anyhow, I could care less as what is important to me, is that Load temps are correct.

edit; I meant to say also that Real Temp does show my cpu as the E3110 that it is

Awesome program! Great idea to show both actual DTS and the temp, and Idle calibration is nice to!

Only issue I have is, I calibrated my cpu temp using lasertemp (+/- 1C accurate and checked against very accurate temp probe) so cpu temp in speedfan always reads within 0-2 C of IR to cpu from 45-95C.

If Tjmax on my E8400 is 95, then there is no gradient from core to tcase on full orthos load, as my calibrated cpu temp is now same temp as core. And I can show for example, that when speedfan cpu shows temp of 53, IR to back of cpu will be same.

Unclewebb, you could easily calibrate your cpu, if have not already, and test same, would be interested in what you get. When I reach 105C core, my tcase measured by IR was 94.8, so I got the same result as you. The only issue is, does any gradient exist between core and tcase at that time. Your control chip, one did not. On my E6850, a gradient of 5-7C existed at all times, and on my E8400 a gradient of 10C existed at all times.
