Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

deepsilver: I'll admit that the core speed is a work in progress but in your screen shot it looks like you have C1E / SpeedStep enabled. If this feature is enabled in your bios then at idle the multiplier drops from x8.0 to x6.0 so your cpu speed will be reported at 400x6.0~2400MHz. Run Prime95 and put a load on your computer and see if things change. Did you set your bus speed to 400 MHz in the bios or did you use SetFSB? I promise the next version of RealTemp will be better. CPU-Z is still the king of MHz.

martymonster: As ChrisZ said, the Distance to TjMax is the raw data coming from the on chip DTS sensors and that needs to be reported as is. RealTemp takes the DTS data and simply interprets it differently than other programs when converting that number to an absolute core temperature. When using Calibration factors, if you work backwards and add the two values together then it will look like RealTemp is using a variable TjMax.

You can use this knowledge to figure out how much correction RealTemp is providing to your reported temps. If TjMax on the Settings page is fixed at 95C and Core Temperature + Distance to TjMax adds up to 100C then it is easy to calculate that the Calibration RealTemp is using is boosting your reported temps by 5C. If properly calibrated, this will hopefully better reflect your real core temperature.
