Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[Klimpen]

Klimpen: The -2 Idle adjustment was designed based on my E8400. My low MHz / low voltage test results were air cooled using a Tuniq with the fan on high. I have not done any testing with water to see if idle temps drop to the same relative values.

It's possible that your sensors are stuck at 30C but I think they are still working OK. You can try using ice to see if you can force the temperatures lower which will prove that they are not stuck at 30C.

I will include a -3 Idle adjustment in the next minor update release for you which will help a little bit at idle and at lower temps but without a full calibration with a IR gun or embedded probe, I think you'll just have to live with less than perfect core temperatures from that cpu. If you are Prime stable at 4200MHz with 1.3 volts, I certainly wouldn't be sending it back.

I will not use ICE but rather just open the doors and let the cold in and see if I can get below 30.
Should I set RealTemp to default regarding .ini or does it not matter?
I'm a bit confused about the TjMax. Let me ask you in a polite manner: How sure are you that it is 95C for a E8400? Did you find that out with the iR fluke?
I'm willing to do the same as I own the same equipment.
I'm not sure how to do it though and let me just say I'm not afraid to burn things
Is it right of me to do it this way:
Set everything as low as possible in BIOS - Volt, FSB, Multi and so on.
Remove heatsink (waterblock) and the power up windows from "sleepmode" with everything running.
When the iR hits 95C then RealTemp also should show 95C and at the same time the Status / History will light up?
Then I shut down with "rip powercord technique"

If Status / History lits up earlier then iR then I have that x-value as TjMax, right?
Also, how fast should I expect the temp to raise? Is it very slow or is it like several degrees per second and BAM I have 100 before I even get a chance to see what happend?
Can I have a fan blowing over the undressed CPU to "prolong" the event or will that change the outcome?
