Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[rge]

KTE, how are you measuring your absolute temps? When you say "95C reached, still no prochot#"...how do you know you are at 95C? Unless you are measuring temps in an absolute manner independent of the programs, ie thermocouple or IR, you would not.

All your showing is DTS is 5 from zero, so whatever tjmax number you plugged in, you will conclude your absolute temps to be that number minus 5C. Since you set tjmax at 100, at DTS = 5, yes it will show 95C. Had you set tjmax to 95, you would show temps as 90C at DTS = 5, and thus concluded that tjmax is 95...circular reasoning.

Then you state the minute 100C reached, prochot# was asserted, same circular reasoning. All you showed was when DTS=0, prochot# was asserted, and whatever Tjmax you used, will be the temp that is displayed at DTS=0.

You could duplicate the experiment again, using tjmax of 95 in realtemp, and then conclude tjmax is 95 at DTS=0.

Same issue arises at shutdown. Shutdown occurs at 20 to 25C beyond DTS=0. Suppose you knew it occurred at 25C beyond DTS=0. Since you do not know the absolute temp when DTS=0, you do not know the absolute temp when shutdown occurs, you will simply be showing that shutdown occurs 25C after DTS=0 is reached.

EDIT: speaking of intel, I had posted a question up on their forum a month ago when trying to determine gradients, and my post just disappeared, so I posted it again just now.
