Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

I've just decided to trust RealTemp.

That's what I like to hear!

I was hoping to find an L2 today but all I could find was an E2160 M0 stepping. It should provide us with a few more numbers to ponder but probably nothing too exciting. RealTemp should assume a TjMax=95C for this new processor so I'll test that theory when I get a chance.

I really need an E4300 L2 so if anyone wants to trade then let me know. I might have to head to EBay but it was slim pickings last time I checked.

Testing with a thermocouple on the side of the IHS is not very accurate and I believe the delta to core temperature will change depending on the load. Next time I'm testing I'll try moving the IR thermometer further away from the middle of the IHS and see how much temps drop. I don't think I'll get an accurate reading when trying to read the edge of a CPU. The flat surface of the IHS is ideal.

I sometimes use a high speed hand held fan pointed at the CPU which helps stabilize core temperatures and keeps them from increasing too rapidly when the heatsink is not attached.

Good news: I have no IHS so direct die measurement is theoretically feasible
Good news: I have a thermocouple and the bead looks like it should fit under the heatsink
Bad news: my Fluke 179's temperature calibration is ridiculously off (showing current ambient as 2.2C!!!)

I kind of tabled this project while I have been working on something else, but that has just about run its course. Can anyone suggest how I would go about getting my Fluke calibrated?

This was a link I found on fluke... there must be one for each region they sell in.

I might be interested in a trade...

I have an e4300 L2 stepping. How high do you think I could clock the e2160 on a Tuniq Tower? I'll read up a little and get back to you. PM me if you want to talk more.

Does this software read the north/south bridge temps on the maximus formula? For some reason I can't seem to find a version of speedfan/everest or anything else that will read them and I'd like to know while I'm overclocking.
