    Thanks burebista
    actually no problems for me

    reason why was asking - was /i am in a situation, i am in the middle of testing different coolers
    and diff. brands of thermal grease (tim) and so far my logs and graphs was on base Realtemp v2.85 output data.

    ok nothing serious testing, but just for my own .. trying to sort out the best of choices/options
    ( just bought new chassis and at this time have to cancel '' my 'open air' "table stand" testing curve '' with this board /setup )

    so this base value change (up +5 ) numeric in RT output - just mess up my calculated graphs and actual screens shots
    as already said i can use that earlier version .. or set it what ever value .. in new ver. no big deal

    My low-speed /low voltage run with RT 2.84 (TjMax=95) was here ->http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=2525

    ------ Attach
    ok one quick Sensor Check run qx9650@4Ghz / 1.336 vCore (bios) RT v2.88beta (TjMax=100)
    ( ambient 23C / ''open Air'' / qx9650 air-cooled Noctua NH-C12P heat sink / !original fan replaced to Scythe minebea 1600rpm !
    ( well seems like need some more volts to wake up those dead sensors LOL

    Its not a real issue to me, i just want to see believable temp values.

    TJMax is not an exact number. I always had this belief that once we found exactly what TJMax was then this problem would all be solved and we'd have 100% accurate core temperatures but that's not true.

    Intel's TJ Target number that they released does not directly translate into a TJMax number. Maybe TJ Target is some sort of design goal they were shooting for. Depending on whether you have a 45nm, 65nm, QX or Xeon CPU will somewhat determine how close TJ Target is to your actual TJMax.

    The E8x00 45nm Dual Core series is a good example. Users agree that TJMax = 100C but there is a certain amount of manufacturing error in that number so actual TJMax for each CPU will be different than that theoretical TJMax. There is no available documentation which shows what the average, minimum or maximum TJMax is for a CPU line and no documentation showing how much that average value varies by.

    You would think that Intel would have some information somewhere which shows how much error is typical for each CPU but if they do, they're not willing to share it. Telling us that the amount of error equals X is pretty useless information.

    Slope error only explains a small part of what's going on here. There are 45nm Quads where actual TJMax is different for each set of cores. I think JohnZS has one of the more extreme examples where TJMax seems to be different for each individual core.

    i43: I apologize for confusing your testing.

    I just don't believe that the 95C Intel TJ Target number accurately reflects your actual TJMax. RealTemp is getting ready for the next official release so I wanted to get that adjusted and taken care of.

    I had a look at this picture of yours:
    http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3...25244lchx8.png

    It shows during the Cool Down Test that core0/core1 changes by about 7. Core 3 is firmly stuck at 68 so I'll ignore that one. Core 2 is moving at the start of the test but gets stuck at 74. In theory it should move a similar amount to core0/core1 during this test or maybe a degree or two less. Quads tend to do that.

    Instead of moving 7, if it didn't get stuck, I think it would move at least 5 so it should be reading about 76 at the Idle stage. If you were to use TJMax = 95C, your reported core temperature for this core would be 19C or 4C below your room temperature which isn't very believable. With your cooler and room temperature, it should be reading somewhere around 31C so it is off by 12C.

    The difference in slope between your two sets of cores is minimal. It's not the cause of that much error. If it was my CPU, I'd set core0/core1 to TJMax = 100C and now here's the crazy part. I'd set TJMax = 105C for core2/core3. After doing this I think your reported core temperatures for all 4 cores would be a lot closer to the actual temperature. Far closer than using Intel's TJ Target value of 95.

    I can't ever see users willing to accept different TJMax values on the same CPU but that's the only logical explanation for the data I'm seeing. It also agrees with what Intel has told us about the manufacturing process and the errors that occur when calibrating TJMax for each CPU in an assembly line environment.

    Of course burebista's idea about forgetting about accurate core temperatures and just going by Distance to TJMax is probably the smartest thing to do.

    After Unclewebb and Coolest complained about the impossible temps using 65nm tjmaxes from the initial IDF in Taiwan, intel corrected the tjmax values, the attached slide is the corrected presentation slide from intels idf site, recently released. It was privately communicated to coolest though while back.

    Also came a response that all 65nm DTS sensors have been calibrated 5+C higher than listed tjmax to prevent throttling below tcasemax, and given the ones tested in E6xxx G0 series and Q6600 G0's are clearly 8-10C higher (and intel confirmed that 8-10C higher is certainly possible in calibration)... setting tjmax 100 for those would be in accordance with testing and with intels newest information.

    If I could find an E0 stepping at a good price I'd probably buy one and do some testing with it.

    I think Intel's IDF presentation says TJ Target = 95C and RealTemp probably uses TJMax = 100C. Try running your CPU at 1600 to 2000 MHz with the core voltage set to approximately 1.10 volts. If your sensors aren't stuck then compare your reported temperatures to your room or water temperature with your case open and it might become obvious what your TJMax is or isn't. Post some screen shots and I'll help you out.
    Will try it soon. Thanks for help

    I dont have a rapidshare account...but uploaded here, it says it can be downloaded 10x. need someone with rapidshare account to upload it. To get directly from intel idf....I cant give u link, it will ask u for password.

    Have to search google... idf, click on idf tawian content keynotes...then download tpws002. As soon as many start downloading, it usually disappears however.

    My latest idea that core2/core3 of some Quads might actually have a TJMax set 5C higher than core0/core1 sounds a little crazy but have a look at how my 4 cores track each other when TJMax is set to 100C/105C. I set the idle calibration for core0/core1 to zero and used a little bit of negative calibration on core2/3 to balance the idle temps. The result is more believable than using TJMax = 100C for all 4 cores. From idle to full load running Prime the core temperature movement looks a lot more real when you consider that the same load is being run on each core.

    Here's the same CPU with no calibration.



    When the fan is turned off the difference between sets of cores grows to 9. I thought this difference might have something to do with a heavy air cooler and gravity but I pulled my computer out and turned it upside down and got pretty much the same thing within 1C. There goes that theory.

    As soon as I turned the CPU fan back on, the difference immediately dropped to 5C as all the temperatures started dropping. It sure looks like a 5C difference in TJMax.

    Here's how the log file looks when TJMax=100C for all 4 cores. At these higher temperatures, Intel's slope error is a lot less of a factor. The vast majority of Quad screen shots at high temperatures always show core0/core1 as hotter than core2/core3. Could the reason be that TJMax is set differently for these two cores? I've learned that pretty much anything is possible.

    That's a pretty consistent 4C to 5C difference which is hard to explain given that all cores are doing the exact same thing.

    I brought the heat up with the fan off and then turned it back on and let it cool down as Prime Small FFTs continued to run on all 4 cores.

    Thanks msgclb. rge forwarded that to me as well. Looking through the MSRs it sure looks like VID information has disappeared from Core i7 CPUs and I guess that confirms it. I still plan to have a look for it just in case it's hiding in some MSR. It's fun trying to uncover Intel's secrets.

    This requires a shift in thinking that will confuse many users. Most users assume that lower is better, so suddenly trying to increase their "temps" is just going to sound stupid. Then we'll need to go through the explanation of what the delta to Tj Max actually is so that it makes sense to them. Given the number of threads on forums about temps, you better keep a copy of your explanation that you can just copy/paste

    Sensor=0

    it would report VID instead of your core voltage. That's the number zero and not the letter O. If it is set to 1 then it reads and displays your real time Core Voltage in that box.

    Can you give that a try to see if CPU-Z can be used to report VID for Core i7 users? So far, Core Temp and RealTemp are in the dark about VID for Core i7.
    In CPU-Z,the corei7 reports no VID

    Agree randomizer. It's somehow upside down now. You need to see higher numbers to be OK but at least we get rid of that TJMax madness.
    Anyway, I've asked uncle to put that option in tray and now I'm complete relaxed. No TJMax stress, just straight DTS readings.
    All I hope now is that others will get used with this before they lose their minds with same question again and again and again: "Hi uncle, what is TJmax for my CPU?".
    If it ain't broke... fix it until it is.

    The only reason I need a very accurate program is because I can have more accuracy in my Heatsink test.

    Is the distance to TjMax 100% accurate and calibrated by intel ?

    btw heres the pdf that rge posted, it is hosted on my own RS account so unlimited downloads.

    Not really. Come to think of it, not at all.

    Intel says that Distance to TJMax data coming from the on chip sensors will vary by plus or minus 10%. For every 1 degree change in core temperature, the DTS data will change by an average of 0.9 to 1.1 is how they stated it.

    So far they have told us about that problem as well as the fact that TJMax varies by an unknown number of degrees from one processor to the next. They may have released some fixed TJ Targets for users to argue about but you can't pick up a processor, look at the model number and then look up what the actual TJMax is. It varies from one CPU to the next.

    I have to laugh when I read about someone comparing two different E8400 processors or whatever model and deciding to keep processor A instead of processor B because it runs so cool. Most of the difference they are seeing is typically sensor error.

    Now the real question is, "Why the hell do we use these things and keep believing that we have 100% accurate temperatures from them?"

    If you follow rge's calibration guide lines and you get lucky enough and use a TJMax value close to the actual TJMax for that CPU, you should get some reasonably accurate core temperatures out of them. They just won't be 100% accurate from idle to TJMax. Most 45nm Core 2 Duo/Quad sensors aren't good enough for that.

    Yes it does work under vista x64, im using it my self.

    --

    So if the distance to TjMax is not accurate, would it be possible to see a PROCHOT status even if it says distance 10 or would or would the distance to Tj get more accurate as it gets closer to prochot status ?

    edit:

    I have a Q6600 G0, what do i need to do to find out my TjMax or atleast get a close estimate of it ?

    This new Cool Down Test is really helping me see what's going on. I took the Intel IDF presentations at face value but all they initially did was get me off track. Intel's graph of slope error was more of a generic line on a piece of paper than the engineering type data I was hoping to see.

    With my test, when checking for slope error, I like to compare the 87.5% level to the 12.5% level. I shortened the heat up phase of my test so users wouldn't have to wait too long for the results. For that reason, the 100% level is not your maximum Prime95 temperature but it's usually pretty close to it. The 100% level is also a maximum temperature where 87.5% and lower are averaged temperatures. That's why I like to start by looking at the 87.5% level first.

    Anyhow, when comparing 87.5% to 12.5% on your CPU I get the following temperature deltas:

    Core 0 = 16.5°C
    Core 1 = 15.3°C
    Core 2 = 16.1°C
    Core 3 = 16.4°C

    This shows that slope error is only playing a very minor part in your wildly looking random temperatures. The majority of error in your sensors is at TJMax. The biggest problem is that each core has a slightly different TJMax.

    Intel publicly stated at IDF that there is error at TJMax but has only been willing to define that number as plus or minus X for the 45nm Dual and Quad Core CPUs.

    Here's the published spec for the 45nm Intel Atom N270 sensors as listed in the datasheet:
    5.3 Digital Thermal Sensor
    The digital thermal sensor (DTS) accuracy is in the order of -5°C ~ +10°C around 90°C; it deteriorates to ±10°C at 50°C.


    If this spec has nothing to do with the 45nm Dual and Quad core CPUs then in their IDF presentation they should have defined exactly what this spec is. They admitted that there is some error at TJMax but have only been willing to refer to the amount of error as 'X'.

    Based on the Atom spec and the data coming from sensors like yours, I think assuming that X is somewhere around 5°C is reasonable. That means the Intel calibration point that TJMax is based off of might only be accurate to plus or minus 5°C.

    The values released at the IDF conference are referred to as TJ Targets. TJMax is defined as always being equal to or above that Target value. In this case, TJMax would be more accurately defined as 105°C ± 5°C or somewhere between 100°C and 110°C. That range is a lot closer to the truth than the single TJMax=100C number.

    That's the problem. Users including myself have always taken TJMax as a very fixed value with virtually no error in that number. The endless argument about what is the correct TJMax has always been flawed. There is no single TJMax number for every QX9650 processor or for any processor. The 65nm sensors may have had a little tighter thermal sensor specs or they might have been able to do a better job of matching similar sensors with each other on the same CPU but there is always going to be some error. Each processor within a given line is always going to have a range of correct TJMax values. Early testing shows the Core i7 is continuing this tradition.

    Knowing this, some users are simply going to give up and say, "Accurate temperatures from these sensors simply aren't possible. There are too many unknown variables." That's what Intel has been hinting at since day 1 but the user community has never been willing to accept that.

    My opinion is that 100% accurate reported temperatures may not be possible due to the limitations of these sensors but with a simple calibration, and a few tweaks, you're going to get a lot closer to an accurate temperature than what some of these sensors give you out of the box.

    rge's recent testing gives us a point of reference at the low end and reading between the lines of what Intel has recently said gives us more flexibility at the top end.

    The present RealTemp calibration formula needs to be reworked and users are going to have to be willing to adjust TJMax on a core by core basis in some situations. I'll come up with a new formula and some calibration numbers you can try later this week. I'm hoping for 4 temperature curves that look more like mirror images than random numbers.

    My E8400 is listed as 1.225 volts on the box so there's nothing wrong with 1.25 volts. Didn't my previous post show you that these CPUs can take a licking!
    I'm glad my data was of some use, I guess I have to be happy that I do not have any stuck sensors, at least the movement of the sensors is more or less the same across the board, it's just the starting point Delta error which makes it very difficult for me to work up the enthusiasm to do some serious overclocking.
    The temperatures I see you getting out of your cores Unclewebb make me wince...and cringe, you are a far braver man than I. Iget in a panic if my cores read over 65C in Real Temp....in fact my Maximum Stress Intel Burn Test run @ 3.4Ghz nearly had me turning into a jabbering wreck (more so than usual).
    Pics of the final temperatures here

    68C
    I guess that is a pretty cool core for you guys

    Anyway I have a theory which might explain why 45nm Quads show more "random number generation" behaviour than their 65nm comrades, I'm probably wrong but could it be a problem Intel were having with their 45nm manufacturing process, but since it didn't effect any system stability they just "brushed" it under the carpet of TjMAX and Delta Error?

    PROCHOT will activate when DTS=0 (ie. distance to TjMax = 0), but that may not be when your CPU is running at the exact temperature indicated by Tj Target. In fact, it almost definitely won't be.

    RealTemp 2.89

    http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/...alTempBeta.zip

    Thanks for your help rge and msgclb getting this fixed up. Intel moved where the multiplier is located in Core i7 so I had to read the manual to find out where it went. I hate reading them.

    I've noticed that CPU-Z reports 0.5 multis sometimes with Core i7 but as far as I know, they don't exist. rge thinks that it might be doing an average of all 4 cores or something like that.
    Post some comparison screen shots so I can have a look.



    The other new feature with this version is the ability to run an EXE or BAT file when an alarm goes off. This has been a hidden feature in RealTemp for a while but now you can access it easier in the Settings window.

    I've included a 1 line bat file called RTShutDown.bat

    It runs the shutdown.exe command and will shut down your computer in 10 seconds if an alarm goes off. When testing this feature I kept a command window open and typed in:

    shutdown.exe /a

    That will abort the shutdown procedure when you are testing. You can also edit the .bat file and change the number of seconds before shutdown occurs from 10 to whatever you want.

    Depending on your operating system, this command might cause a hard shutdown so if you're working on a long Word doc you might lose some data if you haven't saved your work recently. Use at your own risk.

    The last feature for the day was a new INI entry.

    MinimizeOnClose=1

    Some people like to have RealTemp minimize to the system tray when they accidentally click on the X close gadget. I think you should be able to figure out what the above does when added to your INI file.
