Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

So how do I calibrate for a quad when cores 1,2 seem to be ok, but 3,4 are at ambient?

Give me a day or two and I'll have an update of RealTemp ready for you. My Q6600 is similar with core0 and core1 being identical, core3 is close to the first two and then core2 is always significantly less. I plan to go with individual core calibration which will help things out at idle but I think with my quad there is always going to be a degree or two of difference. This could be a sign of two cores operating at a slightly different temperature but after seeing all the E8x00 sensor issues, this looks like more of the same. Since Intel doesn't design these sensors for reporting idle temperatures, they probably didn't do anything to balance two different dual cores when they were building the quads.

In preliminary testing with TjMax=95C, cores 0,1,3 need a (+) and core2 needs a (++). With this correction, idle temps look reasonable and load temps at around 60C are close to exact.

Thanks ChrisZ for the info.
