Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

But I feel guilty shaving 10C off my temps...I mean I should have to be using an uber cooler or something

Don't be afraid to send me some of the money I just saved you! If I got paid by the degree of temperature reduction I've created, I'd be a rich man.

For those that don't have time to read through this 31 page novel, here's the highlights. The reason I wrote RealTemp is because CoreTemp and Everest and all the other programs that assume that TjMax=105C for my E8400 are wrong. Dead wrong. The actual, measured core temperature of my E8400 is about 17C less at idle than what all those other programs are reporting. If CoreTemp and Everest are this far off on my 45nm E8400 then I don't have too much faith in either program correctly reporting the core temperature of a QX9650, 45nm Quad or any other processor for that matter.

newest version works nicely in vista 64. says my wolfy TJ is 95c though is correct?

asus suite says 34c
realtemp says 39c
coretemp says 49c but it always says 48c or 49c no matter what lol.

thanks for realtemp dude !

Asus Suite = Probably reads the ACPI probe on the motherboard = WRONG
RealTemp = Does a good job if you calibrate it like uncle have said 100 times = RIGHT
CoreTemp = Just is a big chunk of mess these days = WROOOONG

YEAH, that would be a good idea, don't by a big watercooling setup, just use RealTemp and set it so -3 in the INI and you have just cut 20C of you temps.
Then send the $ you were to spend on WC to unclewebb... (and he'll send som to me for this great idea.
Because the great thing with RealTemp is not to show the ACTUAL temp but rather to lower the output to your needs.
Do you NEED to read 14C on the screen just calibrate it down to a suitable number.
(So unclewebb, can you add a -25 to the calibration because I need a ZUPER ZCREENDUMP with subzero temp to show off with on the next LAN )

And if you are even that lazy that you did not even read the first post then I have to clarify that uncleweeb measured with a REAL TEMPERATURE EQUIPMENT like the iR temp probe.
