Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

The problem is that there is not enough room for what you suggest.



For your processor there is enough room but if you have an Intel Quad QX6700 ES processor and you are running it at 333.33 x 10.0 MHz then all of that isn't going to fit. With your full size button idea the only way I could do that is to combine the two boxes at the top into one box so a user could see half as much information. The present version shows processor name and MHz which tells me what I'd like to know in a screen shot. I'm open to new ideas but I'll have to wait for some more user feedback on this topic before making any changes. I could also scrap all of the additional info like Intel, Quad, Extreme and just stick to the model number like QX6700. That would work.

JohnZS: It is a good thing if you have two sensors that can display numbers that low. Most sensors get stuck before they can ever get that low. Read the RealTemp documentation about Calibration and try doing that procedure. With some minor adjustments, you should be able to get some very accurate core temperatures out of that processor.

In a couple of more days Intel should be telling us a lot more about these sensors and what programmers can do to get accurate temperature information out of them. The RealTemp calibration method was the easiest thing I could come up with but if a new, Intel approved, method comes out then I plan to update RealTemp to reflect that. If they come out and say TjMax=105C for all 45nm desktop processors then I'll probably ignore that because it doesn't agree with any of the testing I've done.
