Nevrsadie: Your original data combined with your new data shoots a big hole in the different TjMax theory. This 5C difference that some of us are seeing under load looks more like a coincidence and a heatsink / thermal paste installation issue. I'll have to pull my heatsink off tomorrow and do some more testing along with a re-mount to see if anything changes.

I finally finished writing some code to handle this problem and now I find out it might not be a problem after all.

Oh well, at least this feature is available if anyone wants to experiment or has their own theories that need to be tested.

Version 2.3 is available for download. It has been uploaded so if you have trouble downloading it then remember to clear your cache because it might be getting an older version form there.

It includes adjustable idle calibration and adjustable TjMax for each core so a user has full control. Adjusting TjMax on a per core basis can make the temp data look believable but if the real problem is in the installation or is caused by the flatness of the IHS or heatsink then you should avoid making this adjustment.

I've seen a lot of RealTemp screen shots and found that very few users were actually using the Idle Calibration feature so I removed it from the GUI. This feature is still available but you will need to go into the RealTemp.ini file to make adjustments. If you do use this feature, it is sort of a set it and forget it thing so I thought it was just extra clutter on the main screen.



The new RealTemp.ini file looks like this:

[RealTemp]
User=0
TjMax0=0
TjMax1=0
TjMax2=0
TjMax3=0
Idle0=0
Idle1=0
Idle2=0
Idle3=0
LogInterval=5
LogFile=0


TjMax values can range from -3 to 3 and will bump TjMax up or down in steps of 5 degrees.

Idle values can range from -2 to 2. Previous Idle Calibration values of (+) or (++) would now be entered into the .ini file as 1 or 2 and a (-) or (--) calibration is equivalent to -1 or -2.

The LogInterval can now contain any factor of 60. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60)
Set this to 60 and it will output a line to the log file once every 60 seconds.

I reworked the timing of the XS Bench feature so if you overclock after you boot up using SetFSB or ClockGen, it should be reflected by a lower time and a higher score.

Instead of clicking the mouse in the TjMax box at the top of the screen to show additional data, now you click outside of the box to the right of TjMax to show the additional data and a mouse click on the left side of the processor name box will reset your Min and Max temp data. I like hiding features for the hard core types that actually read all this stuff.

Not that anyone actually reads it but maybe tomorrow I'll update the documentation in post#1. There were a lot of minor things cleaned up and worked over so if there are any problems, let me know.

More testing and then it will be time to start working on that Minimize to System Tray feature so everyone will finally be happy. The NHL playoffs starting tomorrow night might get in the way of that though.
