Yes, there's a lot of fakes out there. Probably you bought a cheap celeron in a E8400 box. LOL.























j/k

I'm sure Intel will update their utility so that it's compatible. Also make sure your virus protection isnt blocking the intel dll needed to read the chipset registers.

thank you for the answer ,how i can be sure my antivirus is blocking the intel dll ? thank you:)
 
Simplest test is to TURN OFF antivirus protection, including access and script protection, while you run the tool. DONT FORGET to turn it back on though!
 
TAT is old and wasnt ment to read newer chips

And theres newer updated programs but some say there not right on the 45nm cpus so heres a few

Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

Core Temp 0.97.1

SpeedFan 4.33

HWMonitor 1.08


Thank you all for the answers and help, Real Temp give me 10 degrees less (39 C) , core temp give (49 C) ,HWMonitor 1.08 give me (49 C) , the BIOS at start up give me something above 35C , i believe in Real Temp , thank you very very much for the help :)
 
Measured where?

Its worth noting that the cpu temperature can be measured from the motherboard or inside the chip. Different programs use different measures. Obviously due to proximity and external cooling the processor reading is going to be higher, which for me is around 10°C. so i would suggest real temp is measuring from the motherboard and the other two from the processor.
