RealTemp 3.00 Released

[Zehnsucht]

On my E6600, the TjMax has been changed from 85 to 90 compared to 2.7.
I'm five degrees hotter now then I thought I was

It doesn't matter. All that matter is distance to TJMax because is straight DTS reading and based on it will start CPU throttle or thermal shutdown.
If you compare two instances of RealTemp, one calibrated with your old TJMax value and one with your newer TJMax value you'll see that distance to TJMax is the same despite TJMax different values.
Something like this



Keep that distance >20-30 and forget about TJMax values. At least that's what I do.

quick qustion why real temp shows temp lower than other programs like HWmonitor or everest , maybe cuz it is show a real temp or i have some problem

It's all about that pesky TJMax. Different programs, different TJMax = different temperatures.
You have a screenshot in my post above, different TJMax values->different core temperatures but same distance to TJMax.
So, try to forget "old fashioned" core temperatures and keep an eye on distance to TJMax because in full load that's all that matter for your CPU.

OnBoard: You should post a screen shot of a CPU Cool Down Test. It sounds like you have a sticking temperature sensor and data from your CPU will show others what to look for. This test makes it simple to find sticking sensors.

Zehnsucht and hayder.master: 90C is my best guess at the TJMax for your E6600 based on IR testing of my E6400 - B2 stepping. Intel says that TJMax is not a fixed number so the best thing to do is to calibrate RealTemp to your individual CPU. Read the documentation here on TechPowerUp and also read what rge found on XtremeSystems when he was testing / calibrating. This is an excellent way to find out what program or what TJMax you should be using.

If enough AMD users complain I might be motivated to create a RealTemp version for them.

Yeah, I was thinking of posting one. Run it earlier with defragging on background, didn't seem sticky to me at all, but will close some stuff now and run it again. Edit will follow with results.

edit: load is 400x8=3200MHz and idle what it shows.

Distance to TJ Max is about a mile from my house, I don't know what these temperatures have to do with that!

Not bad, but is it not TJ Maxx?

Damn, I was all set to grab this gem since cpuz doesn't report right voltages or temps for me and don't like PC Probe II much(Reports right though). AMD Support would be awesome!

Check out the Voltage between both:
