Hi unclewebb!!! i need your help. i have Intel QX9650 cpu with watercooling system and Asus P5E3 Premium mobo. i made all the tests for calibration and i manage to have these calibration settings:
in this photo core 0 and core 1 is at 35 with ambient temps 31. this is also the report temp from Asus pcprobe program and Everest. the tjMax is 95 that all 45nm cpu's have. but the core 2 and core 3 is 5 degrees more even with the calibration. so i played a litlle with the set tjMax setting and here what i made:
i set tjMax to 85 and now all the cores with calibration have the same temps.
is it right to do this? i mean to set the tjMax to 85 and make all cores the same temp?
thank you my friend and congratulations for this great program!!!

I'm not 100% sure but i think you should leave the TJmax at 95, and make adjustments through your idle values only.
TJ07 | Corsair HX1000W | Gigabyte EX58 Extreme | i7 930 @ 4ghz | Ek Supreme | Thermochill PA 120.3 | Laing DDC 12v w/ mod plexi top | 3x2gb Corsair 1600mhz | GTX 680 | Raid 0 300gb Velociraptor x 2 | Razer Lachesis & Lycosa | Win7 HP x64 | fluffy dice.
I'll admit that your calibration looks nice but changing TjMax is definitely not the right thing to do.
It is likely that you have a couple of core sensors that are stuck like many other 45nm Quad core owners have. Two or three stuck sensors on a 45nm Quad seems to be pretty typical. You can't use calibration factor corrections or TjMax adjustments to fix a stuck sensor. There's nothing you can do with it to get it to report accurate idle temperatures so step 1 is trying to determine if any of your sensors are stuck.
I'm assuming that you read the documentation and followed the calibration procedure and lowered your core voltage to about 1.10 volts and dropped your frequency to about 2000 MHz for your calibration test. Post a CPU-Z screen shot of that and what RealTemp shows with a 0.0 calibration.
Go back a page to this post and have a look at what I told Xello to do and the information he posted afterward so I could understand his CPU and his sensors better.
ok here a photo with fsb 266 and cpu volt 1.10:
also i test the sensors and all is working. i know what is a stuck sensor because this is my second cpu QX9650. the previous i rma it and this is the new.:
and finally here a photo from cpu-z:
from what i see the core 0 and core 1 have the same temps and the same for the other 2 cores but with 5 more. if i overclock the test sensors readings go higher but i think this is normal.
so now what settings can i have to real temp?
thank you for your fast answers my friend!!!
