Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[CruNcher]

Last time I talked to the programmer of Core Temp, he was too busy to get his program updated for Sandy Bridge so I can't recommend using it until it is updated.

What CPU-Z reports when a CPU is lightly loaded has been designed for consistent CPU-Z validation purposes so it might not be the best source of information if you need to know exactly what your CPU is doing internally. HWiNFO32 used to be similar to CPU-Z but with Sandy Bridge, CPU-Z has made some changes so I'm not sure how they compare now.

RealTemp, i7 Turbo, ThrottleStop and the RTCore.dll RealTemp RivaTuner plugin follow the multiplier reporting method outlined in the Intel November 2008 Turbo White Paper. When a CPU is lightly loaded and some of the cores and threads are using the various C States, the average multiplier tends to jump around quite a bit. When turbo boost is rapidly cycling on and off, the average multiplier can also increase and decrease rapidly. That's the data my software reports. It's not always pretty but by using high performance timers within the CPU, it's extremely efficient and accurate at reporting the multiplier transitions.

I like seeing exactly what the CPU multiplier is doing internally while other users prefer to look at a stable multiplier like CPU-Z reports.

Bios C State settings like C1E/C3/C6 and the Control Panel - Power Options - Minimum processor state setting both interact with each other and determine the average multiplier your CPU operates at. Play around with those and that might help you understand what software is telling it like it is.

Here's another program I wrote that lets you play around with some of these settings without having to reboot when testing.

ThrottleStop 2.99.6

Now i understand Aida64 and CPU-Z show only a approximation (striped down) of where the Multiplier is @ and CoreTemp and RealTemp show the real high resolution state (so almost realtime the state switch up/down)
I also prefer that exact way for measuring purposes

Yep i played around with Minimum Energy and High Performance Profiles and i was surprised when i looked @ my Watt meter seeing no visible consumption down like im used to from CNQ, i guess idle is already optimized to the last gate already and the real difference gets visible with Profiles and Sandy Bridge on Load (didn't test that yet) or my Watt meter standard consumer one is just not efficient (high res) enough seeing the Consumption change.

As i said on Guru3d it would be rocking if you might find the time implementing also the other Sensors like VID,Multiplier,BCLK state and Power Consumption anyways great tools great work thx

Wow ThrottleStop 2.99.6 is nice also i can force Multiplier first 3rd party App i see that can do that i suspected something like that Asus EPU is doing when you set it on Maximum Energy Save Profile, do you think it's possible to unlock locked Multiplier or @ least force the 1 Core turbo 34 Multiplier for all Cores on H67 ?

Igor Levicki once unlocked VT on Sony Vaio Laptops EFI Bios http://levicki.net/articles/tips/200...o_EFI_BIOS.php i guess he has the knowledge as Black Belt Intel Member to be able todo it, though i guess the Restriction system for it isn't inside the Main Bios itself but inside Intels Proprietary IME part wherever that is located maybe you can contact him and have a talk from Dev to Dev .
