New version released, much better IMO.

Changes in Version 2.70

* Redesigned user interface (GUI) with larger temperature fonts.
* Added a movable Mini-Mode that is turned on and off with a double left mouse click on the GUI.
* Added an Anchor position so the GUI will move to a fixed screen position after a double right mouse click.
* Anchor position can be customized by holding down the Shift key while double right clicking.
* The correct physical core order of Quad core processors is now reported based on APIC ID.
* Added reporting of Minimum and Maximum VID as well as current VID.
* A new user selectable high temperature alarm with two alarms for Quad core processors.
* More accurate MHz calculation as well as FSB and CPU multiplier reporting.
* New program Up Time feature.
* Bug fix for log file output when using a Single or Dual core processor.
* Fixed and improved the Default button in the Settings window.
* Button labels and functionality changed in Settings window to follow the Windows style guide.
* Improved multi-threading and memory usage for better long term stability.
* Start Minimized option improved for better Vista support. See the documentation for more info.
* Option to save the Log file in .CSV format for easy Excel support.
* Gamer Mode temporarily retired.
 
Massive difference between temps shown by this and Core Temp. Literally 20 degrees C. How reliable is it?
 
Thanks gurusan!

If you follow that and calibrate it correctly, i believe it's the best temp program out there.
 
But wont this calibration only work if you have a flat (lapped) IHS and HS. So the temps are more inline.

I have not lapped my 8400 and I have a difference of 9-10c between the cores at idle.

Calibration has nothing to do with any physical changes to the CPU.
There maybe slight differences in temperature between Core 1 and 2 because Core 1 does most, if not all of the processing at idle and small loads.

One core is making better contact with the IHS than the other or there's not good contact between the cooler and part of the IHS coz one or the other isn't flat, lapping both would definitely help I would say.
