Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

When I decided to create a temp program for the XS crowd I thought if they could get accurate temps up to damn near 120C that they'd finally be happy but of course not. They want to go higher!

KTE proved that version 2.21 was crapping out near 120C so for anyone that needs to go higher then download the latest version 2.24.

It should be good for 145C now. Cash reward for the first person to send me a screen shot of that without using PhotoShop. Reward does not include a new processor. If this latest fix causes any problems with people exploring the sub zero spectrum then send me a screen shot so I can look into it.

I believe KTE that when the DTS was reporting 100 when you were well beyond TjMax that if your TjMax is 100C and if the DTS data up here is still reasonably accurate then your processor was at 128C and if your TjMax=95C like I believe then you were at 123C. I think things are a little too crazy up here as well as undocumented to really prove anything one way or the other though. The only thing really proven is that the 65nm chips can take a hell of a lot of abuse without crapping out. I don't think I'd be trying the same with the new 45nm chips quite yet, especially a QX9650.

My testing and development time is going to be nil for the next week. Testing a Q6600-GO and the Minimize to Tray option are the most important things on the Things to Do List.

rge: Looks like your previous question went into Intel's mysterious black hole of knowledge. I won't hold my breath waiting for them to provide you with an answer. I can't imagine that they want to talk too much right now about anything to do with the data coming out of the DTS sensors, especially in the Revision C0 45nm chips.
