Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[JohnZS]

The sensors on the QX processors almost seem worse than the rest of the Quad processors. They're probably exactly the same but when you pay a premium price for a CPU, your expectations go up and I know from your previous testing, your sensors definitely don't live up to that. Intel learned their lesson. The Core i7 sensors are world's better than the 45nm Core 2 sensors. Whoever decided to save a few pennies when sourcing the 45nm Core 2 sensors must have been reassigned to a new department.

I sent you a testing program in a PM. Thanks for helping me out John.

Thanks Uncle, all received, you have mail
Yes it is a bit disappointing that the premium processors have the dodgy sensors, I guess it is because I purchased this back in December 2007 (just after release), I would imagine the Quads with the newer C1 and E0 steppings have better sensors?

(One would hope)

Thanks for your help

That doesn't seem to be the reality. All 45nm Core 2 Dual and Quad core CPUs have sensor issues. Some processors are better than average and some are worse but they all have issues. Intel's suggestion at IDF was to buy a Core i7. They have better sensors and you certainly need them considering the heat they can put out.
