Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

So this has Vista x64 auto shutdown feature now?

You will have to try it and find out. It works for Vista x86.

Open the Settings window, click on the Alarm EXE button and point it to the file:

RTShutDown.bat

which was included in the download. Whether it works or not might depend on your permission levels, etc. It's easy enough to set a low ball alarm setting and then run Prime and see if it works or not. Where's my x64 tester burebista hiding when I need him?

Thanks rge for the Turbo info. Time to do some more reading.

The problem with reading the multiplier of a CPU is that the act of reading the multiplier, can wake the CPU up, which changes the multiplier. With Core 2 Duo I had to use a slight delay just before reading the multiplier so that if the CPU was at a lower multi because of C1E, RealTemp would be able to read it correctly. I might have to play around with this delay a little so it is more consistent while maintaining accuracy.

Edit: Vista testers might need to make an adjustment to their Power Options to get C1E to operate properly. RealTemp should show the reduced multiplier when idle, even with Core i7.



GeorgeVasil: The RealTemp test makes it pretty easy to spot the sticking point of your core0 sensor. My 8400 C0 needs about a quarter of a volt more juice to be stable at 450 x 9.0 but my sensors work a little better. Want to trade?

bowman: I think as long as RealTemp is reporting that your Thermal Status is OK, it will keep the Turbo on. Gotta love that. Kind of like having a sick friend who thinks the only place for the accelerator pedal is flat on the floor!
