Quick question, Unk.
I finally went through the calibration procedure yesterday.
Using a (admittedly cheap) laser thermometer, I took several reads of my case exterior to come up with an ambient number and then corrected the idle temps (running at 233 x 6 at .975v) to get ambient + 7°c displayed in RealTemp.
Resetting back to normal speed/voltage, my idle temps are a pretty consistent 10°c lower than those read by CoreTemp...which seems about normal from what I've seen.
BUT...under stress testing the disparity becomes greater, closer to 15°c as shown here...
Obviously, no matter which reading one believes, I have nothing to worry about but I'd like to know if I screwed up the calibration procedure or whether OCCT is just plain wrong.
Any suggestions?
