TJMax should be set at 95 say Intel

Source?

Heads not working today, would that mean we've all been overestimating or underestimating their temperatures?
 
i phone them up (support) yesterday and they told me for my i7 920 d0 the correct tjmax should be 95 not 100. I ask them that everyones use tjmax of 100 on realtemp and coretemp and they say it correct at 100 if you are using i7 920 c0 but use 95 for d0 stepping.
 
Phoning them is an interesting approach, but as it cant be verified I'm afraid I'm not going to take your word for it. Either I'll have to phone them myself (reluctant to, I'm on pay as you go) or continue using the wrong tjmax.

Dont get me wrong, good effort for calling up and asking. But if it can't be verified, it can't be trusted. No offense intended

What difference does it make really?

I often seen this with the 65nm chips such as the q6600, some said 90c, some said 95c and others 100c, i think with those chips if you were hitting near any of those temps your cooling wasnt upto scratch.
 
so what youre saying is that everyone with a D0 920, their temps are actually 5c lower than they thought..?

Whats the number for Intel, I'll phone them..?

And? The fact is that doesn't actually change anything really, as everyone I'm aware of is running well under 95C.

I try to squeeze the most out of my setup as possible, my limiting factor is either voltage or temperature.

5 deg would make a difference to me especially on air, a majority of people on these forums like me push it to the extreme limit, and may come to an halt in fear of running the chip too hot.

I think 5 degrees will give a bit more head room or at least make some feel a little more comfartable about pushing their chip a little bit more.

5C lower mmm, MORE VOLTS NEEDED :)


edit just thought it would make peoples temps higher as the sensors measure how close you are to a factory/temp program limit in voltage on a diode... so your temps would be 5% higher or perhaps 5% lower im confused now

Intel also informed me that the maximum cpu temperature for all i7 core processor is no more than 67.9C (not the third party softwares) but anything from own motherboard bios temperature or motherboard own software to monitor the cpu temperature is accepted. Anything like realtemp or coretemp is always 20% higher than the cpu temperature is reading. So, Intel advise me to use own gigabyte cpu temperature monitor during overclocking to ensure it below 67.9C.

So, when I overclock 4.2Ghz and my realtemp is reading at 86C, 84C, 82C, 81C for example and my easytune6 cpu temperature read at 57C mean it below 67.9C and the realtemp should be tjmax of 95C not 100C on the D0 version.

Idk if there telling peeps different things.

i think people are getting confused with the Tjunction for each core and the Tcase which is always about 20C lower, this can be seen in HWmonitor as CPUTIN!
