Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

SiGfever: Read through the documentation for RealTemp so you can learn a little more about what RealTemp is all about.

Reported Temperature = TjMax - DTS

DTS is the reading from the digital thermal sensors which all programs don't have a problem reading. Everest and CoreTemp assume TjMax=100C which seems to be based on some old, irrelevant and non-existent Intel documentation for their mobile processors. RealTemp uses TjMax=95C for your GO Q6600 because I actually have a G0 Q6600 and the first day I got it I ran it without a heatsink and measured the core temperature with an IR thermometer and discovered that TjMax=100C was not true.

If you don't have any faith in my testing then head into the RealTemp.ini file and set this:

TjMax0=1
TjMax1=1
TjMax2=1
TjMax3=1

and then RealTemp and those other two programs will report the exact same thing.

Unrealer: Thanks for testing the E4300. The original version of CoreTemp used TjMax=85C for the E4300 and then users complained about sub-ambient temperatures due to the inaccuracies in these sensors at idle so the programmer caved in and boosted it up to 100C to keep everyone happy and quiet. I don't think TjMax=100C applies to any desktop processors but back then it was like flipping a coin. If 85C isn't right then we'll make it 100C. After that, every other program followed along with out doing any proper testing, until RealTemp came along that is.

50º (real temp) on FULL with OCCT .........

Thanks for your vote of confidence before doing any testing.
