It gets worse flexy. All of my testing has only been with the dual cores so far. It's likely that my 3C-5C above ambient guideline will need to be boosted up a couple of degrees to be relevant for Quad cores. I have a G0 Q6600 in stock awaiting a thorough work over so be patient. RealTemp is only a month old so with more time and more testing by myself and other users it can only get more accurate. Post what ever you learn about your Quad.

If people are upset by programmers having to create their own test methods and guess then they should write to Intel and tell them that hiding all details about the digital thermal sensors and TjMax for their processors is wrong. I don't understand what the big secret is all about.
