Core Temp, problem, or not?

Zeebedy · 27 Feb 2011 at 01:18

Hey guys,

Like I have stated 1000 times...My setup is all well....but...

In Core Temp, frequency reads: 333.02MHz (0.01 x 64043.0)

Why is this, I have checked other peoples and it is reading likes of: 3400.13MHz (100.00 x 34.0)

Got the latest version of Core Temp?

Alternatively try Real Temp:

Yeah, I have the latest version of Core Temp and still not working in that respect.

Tried Real Temp and all is well bar the 0MHz and 100.00 x 0.0 in the multiplier

Sandybridge processors are currently not detected/identified correctly in the latest revision of Coretemp, although the temps are correct. There is an update being worked on now to fix this issue and it's well documented on the authors forum

I use Core Temp 0.99.8 and Real Temp 3.65.

Both report my 2600K correctly.

Hmm...what should I do, I mean everything works fine. Would it be a problem to just leave it?

Have you tried CPU-Z to check the multiplier and frequency?

us your pc set to balanced or power saver in control panel? if so try changing it to high performance

Yeah, it is at 1600MHz and up to 4200MHz when under load...

Thanks for that, I had it on balanced but changed it to high performance..but the Frequency on CT and Real Temp still are suspect? Hmmm.

Anyone?

Also are Core Temp and Real Temp quite accurate as im getting at IDLE, 26-28c?

Seems a bit low?

Can you please elaborate or show a screenshot, are you saying that your cpu model is displayed correctly on 0.99.8? because it doesn't on my 2600k and the frequency is not correct either. The temps are however, as already known, are correct though. I have built 6 or 7 of the sandybridge systems to date and all have the same issue when I used Coretemp. It is also well documented on the respective program forums that an updated version will rectify the issues too, so I cant see how it's working for you.

RTJ, you are worrying about nothing here matey, just enjoy it and wait for the updated coretemp/realtemp to arrive. the temps recorded by those programs are still correct regardless. Your idle temp seems absolutely fine to me.

Cheers man, I will take solace in this now that you have stated this!
