The Distance to TJMax box always displays the raw data coming from the on chip digital thermal sensors. Intel's point of view is that once you go beyond TJMax that this data is meaningless but if you change the interpretation of it, I think it's still very meaningful. One user sent me some screen shots of his Q6600 at 122C trying to determine the thermal shut down temperature. Intel only documents the mobile chips which have a shut down temperature of 125C. The temperature data coming from these sensors when you are beyond TJMax is probably more accurate than at idle.
Once you go beyond TJMax, HOT should be displayed in the Thermal Status area so that is your warning that the Distance to TJMax data might look a little screwy.
ptelles: You still have lots of temperature head room so don't be afraid to push that chip a little harder.![]()
I think XS bans users if they find out that your CPU isn't running 24/7 on the ragged edge of self destruction.
That sounds like a useful app but I have no idea where to start.Naja002: Just wondering if there is any chance for a feature/program that will monitor/display temps of more than one PC over a network?
