Tj. Max 85?

[Chalex4]

Core Temp is giving my friend a Tj. Max of 85 on his E6400.

Was just wondering whether he has to add or subtract 15C from his temperatures?

 

[Wilst]

Tj. is 15C higher than the on die temp BUT. The readings given in coretemp is the core temperatures (i.e on die core 0 and core 1) not the tjunction. The readings it gives are the the core temps not the t junction temps and these are accurate and don't need anything adding or subtracting.

This is a great guide that can explain it better than me www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/221745-11-core-quad-temperature-guide

Hope that helps
