Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

[cTx]Warboy: I have tried to fix a problem that probably effects a lot more people than I originally thought. When temperature software tries to read data from the processor, it is not always getting data back from the core it asks for.

With my Q6600, when software asks the CPU for temp data for core1, the processor actually returns the data for core2. When it asks for data from core2, the processor returns data from core1.

Your processor presently has a different version of this problem. My CPU was consistent for 3 months and then suddenly changed one day while other people have this switching going on every time they reboot. This has added a lot of confusion to the temps being reported for Quad cores for the last year or two because no one knew this was going on.

In your case, 0-2-3-1, which is the same as zorzyk, means that if you were to run CoreTemp or Everest, what they report for your last core is actually the data for core1. RealTemp 2.67.1 tries to re-organize your temperature data so that it is coming from the proper cores.

If you reboot and the order changes, RealTemp should automatically adjust and continue to report your cores in the correct, logical order. Other software might show core1 being hot one day and cool the next because it is not taking this into account.

This is a new problem and I believe that RealTemp is handling things correctly now but I'm still gathering information to see if there are other versions of this problem out there. Change the MSR tool to read 0x2A. For you the first and last will be the same and the two middle ones should be the same. If you are using C1E it might take a few clicks to get this to show properly. My code eliminates this factor.
