Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

i don't trust RealTemp to be honest, considering its reporting completely different tests to everything else

The competition does absolutely zero real world testing and basis their results on non-existent documentation from Intel and you choose to trust them over RealTemp. That's kind of funny.

What isn't funny is how far off CoreTemp is when reporting the temperature of my E8400. Here's some of the testing that I've done. Ask the competition where their testing is and what they're basing their results on.

pitadotcom: oops. im actually on tjmax 85 and +2 calibration. my bad. from my understanding i thought that the +2 calibration would make my tjmax 95. i guess i was wrong.

Sounds like your calibration is just right! Most of the 65nm sensors seem to read too low. My original E6400 with a TjMax=85C also needs a calibration offset of +2 for very accurate temps from idle to TjMax.

RejZoR: Hm, what about integrated table of Tj.Max values depending on detected CPU ? For example if RT detects E4300 like in my case it would automatically set the Tj.Max to 85.

That's what RealTemp is doing right now. It automatically detects your E4300 and sets it to TjMax=85C and sets it to TjMax=95C for my E8400. If a user decides to select a different TjMax in the Settings window then it will go along with that number. I was going to publish a list of TjMax values that RealTemp uses. Unfortunately, too many users have preconceived notions about TjMax. They pass judgment on a program without reading the documentation or doing any testing so I said to hell with it.
