Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

It´s not working for me, from -3 to +3 RT shows only 3ºC difference @ iddle temps. Any advice?

Sure, buy a better heatsink or install the one you have better and see what happens. The DTS is fairly accurate at the idle temperature you are at so the calibration feature has little effect here as you've found out. Post some more details like what cooler you're using, room temp and a CPU-z screen shot, etc. If your heatsink is OK and you do a CTRL+ALT+DELETE and nothing is running in the background warming things up then you might have IHS to core heat transfer issues.

Milamber: Your screen shot shows you're at 4000 MHz and 1.28 volts for your core. These sensors have two common problems. Some of them get stuck, you passed that test, and the other problem is that they tend to either report too high or too low at idle. My E8400 is like your E8500. It is probably reporting a little too high.

With a -2 calibration your CPU is reporting a minimum of 29C which is reasonable considering your core voltage. Without knowing a few more details like what cooling you're using it's hard for me to guess but a -1 or -2 looks about right to me. Don't make comparisons to previous processors being reported with different software. These sensors aren't that accurate at idle so it is impossible to make an apples to apples comparison.

In the newer versions you would add this to the RealTemp.ini file

Idle0=-2
Idle1=-2

Try the test in post#1 and lower your core voltage some more if possible and run at default MHz with C1E enabled to create less heat for testing purposes.



I'm trying a little experimental code for VID. It reports the same as CoreTemp for my Q6600. I'm not sure if CoreTemp is using the same formula or not so any feedback would be great.

I also added another item that you can add to the INI file:
StartMinimized=1

I don't think I have to explain that one.

The beta version is available from here:

A little bit of feedback and another feature to add and I'll update the main download link.

Richard Dower: OK, i am totally digging this tray feature...i may just delete Core Temp altogether :-)

My Master Plan is coming together, piece by piece. Thanks for all the positive feedback.
