Temperature Programs?

Realtemp or Coretemp?

Ive been reading that Real temp is much more accurate, i hoping so cause with the heating on Coretemp gives 63 deg and Realtemp 58 whilst running prime blend.

both read the same for me once real temp Tmax is set to the right number.

Thanks for that, had real temp installed and had forgot to configure it properly.

Tj max set properly and now giving identical readings as coretemp.

Just done mine, Core temp and Real Temp read the same

I thought my temps in real temp were to good to be true, both progs now correctly displaying 27-24-23-20.

lol how you find your tmax?

setter · 3 Nov 2008 at 21:03

What cpu are you running, eg for a q6600 the tj max is 100'c. can be found on coretemp. on real temp mine was incorrectly set at 90 something

Mr Kingston · 3 Nov 2008 at 21:09

tj max varies for cpus

wolfdales are 100
old 65nm chips are 105
and most yorkie quads are 90

As for temp programs coretemp and real temp are good when configured

Swordfish125 · 3 Nov 2008 at 21:11

i have a q6600

Mr Kingston · 3 Nov 2008 at 21:14

i believe the q6600 is 105 tj not sure tho

setter · 3 Nov 2008 at 21:18

Coretemp has always reported mine as 100'c

Mr Kingston · 3 Nov 2008 at 21:20

then i am mistaken , unless ure coretemp has always been configured to show 100 ?

Think were both mistaken

nice find mate, tht means my temps were way off when i had my q6600 lol

Swordfish125 · 3 Nov 2008 at 22:27

Interesting. So its 90 for a q6600, funnily enough this is what realtemp set its self up as. Which is annyoing cause i just ordered a new cpu cooler based on Coretemp readings whcih are too high lol!

Bradley8988 · 3 Nov 2008 at 22:40

Nah its good actually as it maens you can Clock further with your new cooler.

RJC · 3 Nov 2008 at 22:43

Looking at Intel's processor details you can go upto 70c~

Not sure if the above is any help.

Swordfish125 · 3 Nov 2008 at 22:46

Yeah it is! I dont Break 60deg atm, 3.2ghz under prime blend/small FTT

Bradley8988 · 3 Nov 2008 at 22:47

Well theres that and the amount of voltage that people exceed.

If you read that link, it's been updated with info that the data given isn't actually TjMax, only something called Target Tj...
