Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[gmcg]

Thanks gmcg. I guess not following the herd was a good idea.

Good software never rests. I've been playing around with a new gamer mode today. It blasts on the screen the temperature of your cores in the upper right hand corner while you're playing. The image isn't the most stable and flickers since it has to be continuously updated but the temp numbers are visible. I don't recommend this option for 24/7 use but I think lots of users are curious when they are in the middle of a game how hard their cores are being worked. My overclocked Q6600 was barely warming up during some 3DMark05/06 benching.

I also added on a Pop-Up Info option so if you want to see all the temps of all your cores over each tray icon then just select this. Otherwise, they will be labeled core1, core2, core3 and the temp info will only pop up over the left most icon the way I like it.

When you click on the Settings button, the Settings window will now open up immediately to the left or the right of the main RealTemp window, where ever there's the most room, so you don't have to drag it over each time. I hate to work too hard! I also equalized the height of the windows so it looks well balanced.

I'll release another beta tomorrow so you can check it all out.

Thanks, unclewebb, great ideas! It looks that Nvidia BIOS in 790i monitors the same temps as Everest/Coretemp/HWmonitor, not as yours and as soon as we have that error, either it is a sensor error or a driver error, BIOS uses that information and stops/freezes the operations to prevent motherboard/CPU from overheating. Thats why we probably had random freezes in 790i and so many people are upset.
I assume Nvidia should contact you and use your method of thermal monitoring to get the real data and prevent those errors ...
