Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

RT does not use linear calculations. 1c DTS is not 1c temp difference.

I haven't calibrated Real Temp and don't know that I have to. From what I read, Real Temp gives 10C less than Core Temp--and that is what I get without calibration. I also get 5C less than what is shown in SpeedFan.

I have the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 with Real Temp showing TJMax of 64-65 and depending on room temperature, my Real Temp readings can be 5-6C to 7-8C above room temperature, which is based on my heating/cooling thermostat reading.

I don't care if calibration would give me lower temps, because I am perfectly satisfied with what is shown uncalibrated, always under 35C at idle with room temperature as high as 25C.

So, the questions are, do I really need to calibrate Real Temp, and are my readings accurate?
