Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

Don't blame RealTemp for the sensors that Intel has chosen to use. These sensors were never designed for accurate reporting of idle temperatures and the 45nm sensors are even worse at this than the previous generation. You're lucky you don't have a Quad core because some of them look more like random number generators.

Read the RealTemp docs about Calibration and you might learn a little more about the problems and how RealTemp can be used to get some more realistic temperatures out of your sensors. No other software will let you get even close compared to what RealTemp can do for your processor so don't blow it off yet.

I'd start by running Prime small FFTs on both cores and see if the temps get a little better balanced. You either have bad sensors or possibly an IHS to core alignment / contact issue.

graysky: Competition has been good for RealTemp and CoreTemp. I've previously thought about adding graphing to RealTemp but so far it hasn't been too high of a priority.
