Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

It's always been my theory that the E4300 has a TjMax=85C and that you would need a ++ calibration adjustment to bring the idle temperatures in line with reality and helps confirm my theory that at this speed and voltage they should run at about 4C or 5C above ambient. Your data looks believable. I need to find a cheap L2 to put under the IR gun to help confirm.

jaredpace: CPU diode based temps reported by motherboards are rarely 100% right. You can't assume anything in this and can't just assume that what SpeedFan reports must be right for the CPU or any other piece of software. I know personally my CPU diode based temp on my P5B can change by 10C depending on whether I boot up or do a resume from Stand By. I definitely don't trust anything that sensor tells me because it is not accurate. Try dropping your CPU down to a low wattage setting like Slay0r did and report what it says.
