This is the hacked version of Core temp (to work with Vista x64):

Works a treat

(Extract this to your favorite directory (say C:\CoreTemp)

Just make sure before you start the actuall "CoreTemp.exe", you run "coretemp-startup.bat")

ah thanks for that. First time i've used this program. it's showing my tjunction as 100c! Is that accurate?

yup you have a g0 processor.

snow patrol · 31 Dec 2007 at 21:22

so it's a bug or that's the actual temp?

edit: getting about 55c on both cores under load. That's at 3.1 ghz with 1.36 volts...on a noctua nf12. I'm going to be putting a Q6600 G0 in there next week and am starting to wonder if it'll cope when overclocked...

OEM or retail GO? out of interest

WJA96 · 31 Dec 2007 at 21:47

It's still not digitally signed for Vista 64 unforunately though.

snow patrol · 31 Dec 2007 at 21:47

you know, i'm not even 100% sure at the moment. It's a SCLAR one though.

people, look out for the Q6600 L745A stepping cpus, Week45, these are overclocking monsters and ocuk has a large batch of these in OEM, not seen one over 1.25VID and most arround 1.200 dead, i tested about 20 so far and ALL good.

There's a package out there so you can start it in x64 vista, with Atsiv

Venares · 31 Dec 2007 at 22:38

For anyone who is intrested you can grab the new CoreTemp 0.96 with the Atsiv loader here.
CoreTemp-0.96-Vista64.rar
Just run the included coretemp-startup.bat and have fun

My only question is, do I trust the new 0.96 or the older 0.95.
See below:

Well after reading the release note it looks like 0.96 is correct and 0.95 was lying :eek:

Would certainly explain why I have trouble getting past 3.2Ghz, even so my load temps are now a whole 20c higher which I have a hard time beveling.

Hah! You think you have problems?

gurusan · 31 Dec 2007 at 23:19

that's a tad roasty for 3.6ghz .....that's on water isn't it?

Seems to work fine for me

Venares · 31 Dec 2007 at 23:21

Yup I do, this is running Orthos :eek:

Yes, all my machines run water, but that CPU currently has 1.5V through it (in BIOS) to get it fully prime stable at 3.6GHz. And it still has over 30C to go to TJunction so it's still well within it's recommended operating range. Oh and the fans are only running at about 500rpm.

I'm really not one of these people who is into ultra-low temperatures unless I need them - I'm after pace and peace if you like. If it runs at 70C, but very quietly then I'd rather have that than 55C and a delta howling away next to me.

booyaka · 1 Jan 2008 at 10:39

thanks - both show the same temps for me with my quad so all is good
