Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[flexy]

unclewebb, i very, very much agree. We now hae half a dozen or more ways to measure temps...and i can see differences +/-10 deg which translates, very real, that i dont have the slightest clue what the temps actually ARE

In the future i think i will solely focus on DT->TJmax since i have so many different values depending on calibration and program used.

I also have a problem "understanding TCase, i was looking at that Intel Spec sheet http://download.intel.com/design/pro...s/31559205.pdf
in particular.

here, example 95W CPUs you see a chart giving Max TCase depending on the current Wattage/power draw of the CPU....so at max 95 Watts Tcase equals 72.
For the same CPU Tcase equals 58 deg at 50W...and so on.
So max. Tcase is not a fixed value but always in relation to the current Wattage, IF I UNDERSTAND THIS RIGHT.
So i have a problem understanding what Max TCase actually means...and also if it would apply for overclocked CPUS....say according to CPU wattage calculator i clock my CPU 3600 Mhz at 1.44 which equals 197W.

If i would expand this chart (assuming it would go on in a linear way!) i would come to max Tcase at 197 W equals 97 deg.

There must be a misunderstanding about the meaning of "max Tcase" since for the SAME CPU, how can max Tcase be LOWER with lower Wattage/Power Draw...so max TCase certainly canot indicate a safe max temp if its variable? Rather something like "expected" TCase temp at this and this wattage? <--- guessing...
