Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

rge: Thanks for your sacrifice literally! I might have to buy an E7200 myself to see how it compares to my previous testing but I think I'll keep the IHS on. My basement at 14C helps keep the temps down.

RealTemp 2.66 is finally done and is ready for some weekend testing.

New features include the reporting of the Minimum and Maximum VID for your processor in the Settings window. On my Q6600 it is able to read these values while Prime is running. This is experimental code with no documentation from Intel to back up my findings so if the Min / Max numbers look out to lunch on your CPU then let me know. The real time VID is still displayed on the main page.

My Q6600 has the bug where after 3 months the center core temps have been swapped. RT 2.66 tests for this condition and corrects it. The screen shot shows Prime running and SetAffinity... was used to force it to run on core0 only. RT correctly shows core1 heating up while core2 and core3 are cooler like they should be. If you look at the DTS numbers (Distance to TjMax) you can see that RealTemp has swapped the Core1 temp data with Core2 which I believe is correct. If you have a Quad then you can do a Test Sensors test and if your center cores are reversed then it will report that it has swapped them and if everything is OK then nothing new will be reported. I don't think my test for this Quad bug will work on mobile Quad processors so I'll probably include a separate option later to enable or disable it.

I did a couple of bug fixes to Log File output for Dual cores.

I've also tried to fix the problem with RealTemp not minimizing to the System Tray on initial start up when that option is selected. It seems to only be an issue for some users with Vista x64. If you had that bug with previous versions then let me know if this version has fixed it or not.
