Innovation Cooling's Diamond 7 TIM test results

[SiGfever]

This is the 4th invitation. You guys running some kind of cult thing here? I am not sure I would join any club that would have me as a member
Maybe in about 6 months. I am a little busy and have several projects going on right now.-Thanks for the offer

Hey, they let me join so you know that the scale is not set very high. Cult of the Crunchers...has a nice ring to it.

I have switched to "Real Temp" program for all my temp readings as the TJunction is more accurate.

v2.55 works well with Vista.

Graysky: Maybe I should rename the Idle calibration feature because for a lot of users with low load temps, the Idle calibration feature will effect your load temps as well. That is not a mistake on my part. The reason for this is that according to my graph in the documentation, the DTS is only linear with changes in core temperature within approximately 35C of TjMax. At your load temps, you are outside the range where the DTS is 100% accurate so you still need a slight calibration factor. I have a couple of minor fixes to do and I also plan to add temperatures to the Tray icon this week to keep the fans happy. After that I will do some more extensive testing to see if the idle calibration feature needs any adjustments. I know it is very close as is if you select the right factor but I also know it is never going to be perfect because I can't test every processor. It will definitely help get your temperatures closer to the truth.http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=946

The program author if I am reading this right says if you have a TjMax of 95C and you subtract 35C anything under 60C falls into a non linear range which varies between processors? So what remains is the Intel tolerance on the linearity under 60C. I have noted indicators that suggests this could be as high as 5C. This is probably close enough for fan speed control for Intel's purposes, but not really for an accurate TIM or or even heat sink comparison.

For what it is, if the guy can get the non linearity reading down to couple of degrees would be pretty good - But I would bet that with my averaging where some read high and some read low I am still closer to the actual number
