Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

Here's an example of the 2 Dual cores within a Quad.



Both cores within a Dual core have to run at the same MHz but with the help of an MSR editor you can get each Dual core within a Quad to use a different multiplier so half your Quad is running at one speed while the other half of the Quad is running at a different speed. Might be a handy feature during testing.

MSR 0x198 shows the multiplier being used for my Quad. Two cores are using 6.0 and the other two are using the default of 9.0. Knowing that you can't have a 6 and a 9 in the same Dual core at the same time tells me that there is a problem with how many programs are reading data from these multi core processors.

You can use MSR 0x199 and do a Write MSR and change your multi while Prime is running. Use the right mouse button within CPU-Z to see what side of your Quad is at what speed.

For the braver types, here's what needs to be changed to change your multi on the fly.



Enter your new multi and replace the 6 and click on Write MSR and away you go. You can then read MSR 0x198 to see if your processor accepted the change. You can't go below 6 or above your maximum. The "do this at your own risk" applies to the above.
