so yea as the title says...which software gives the most accurate reading of a proc's temp?
Core Temp or RealTemp?

sor far im referin real temp..its gv more accurate temp compared core temp

in my case tho, realtemp shows 5c less than core temp. how about you?

now i didnt use the coretemp anymoe still primin now..4ghz 445x9 1.29v from real temp idle 37-38c load 54-57c..the temp readin from real temp n smart guardian not too much gap around 2-5c compared lastime when im using DK its almost 10c differ even with coretemp also 10c different

It is depend on the value of Tjmax for each program.

-pWs-

realtemp for penryns and coretemp for the remaining procs

real temp will have 5 - 10c different (lower) than Core temp, but as mentioned, the Tjmax oso different by that amount. So, i think not much different. so far, i yet to try smart guardian but i notice that everest and core temp show a same result. So, if i want to feel happy, i'll use real temp

herm so as far as i can read, RealTemp is more accurate then CoreTemp?

any more other opinions?

i'm using PcWizard and it shows the same reading as CoreTemp for the temperature.

and also the cpu speed is the same as Cpu-Z.

so i thought it was okay.

i'm wrong?

i using everest... coretemp.. and real temp.. all showing the same temperature.. ^^

Depend on your cpu.For penryn,use realtemp.For conroe,use core temp or everest.

wat bout q6600?
i read tat coretemp also got the wrong tjmax for it.

Trust your hand
I dun think got any software can report the temp accurately.

-pWs-

me ..core temp n realtemp show same result..
in bios

yeah, I was wondering abt this as well, when I look at the bios right... waaaa different temp indeed... If the bios reading is more accurate.. getting worried.lol

Just remember that software reading of the core temperature is only an approximation, based on the "guess work" of the TjunctionMax. Intel does not publish the Tjunction of any of their desktop CPUs.

Each temperature software base their core temperature calculation on this simple formula:

Core temperature = TjunctionMax - DTS

DTS can be read accurate from the CPU, however, nobody outside Intel knows the true value of the TjunctionMax. Furthermore, the TjunctionMax for each family of CPU, and even different batches of the same family, might be different.

The most accurate way to measure CPU temperature is actually Tcase, but the process of putting a diode on the CPU is not for the average user.

You can read more about this in my guide on "CPU core temperature guide - the basics". The link is in my sig....

make a small hole on ur hsf and stick a temperature sensor into it to get the "real temp"... haha

ermmmm... is this thread for RealTemp or CoreTemp for intel only?? how bout amd.. coz i'm using amd..

i know amd proc produce less heat than intel, but which one show true temp???
n also amd have a lot bug about temp..

I'm running NHC. Under heavy load, my Thermal Zone has temperature hell lot higher than core temp.

i'm using coretemp on my c2d.. gives satisfying accuracy..

i just open everything, coretemp, realtemp, everest, abit uguru, and when the temp got too high, i stop stressing. up till now, the temps shown are all under 55c. yeah, realtemp & coretemp got difference alright, like coretemp is showing 2c-3c lower than realtemp, everest & uguru temp monitoring.

so for me, realtemp is the most reliable.

mine goes the other way around. realtemp is much lower than coretemp

mine is consistently 5c lower and i found that that is because of the TJMax value, coretemp is 100c while realtemp is 95c, so when i set realtemp too 100c, both r identical

they calculate the temp based on tjmax...coretemp assumes tjmax at 105 while realtemp at 95....so when u set realtemp to 100 ur current temp reading will increase by 5

i always set my tjmax at 80c... just a noob q here, what is the recommended safe temps? i alwez keep mine under 65c, or izzit a tad too high?

umm.. overvolt 10% from stock under air cooling is considered ok rite? i know this question should be on a different thread but if anyone can answer, i would appreciate it...

edited: 65 degrees load, not idle. if idle 65 degrees GILA

65c is still okay i guess for loads temps

70c is the highest for me.. more than that not recommended.. i try nearly 80c stressing but its just for testing only..

yeah i believe 70 degrees celcius should be the limit

noob talking.. sorry if i m wrong

i m using 2 detector.. core temp and real temp..

diffrent 8-12 c

e.g real temp 40 vs core tem 50

then i seting in bios.. when temp reach 60 c got sound warning..

what i got.. real temp is right..
and core temp is wrong..

and i buying new casing.. new heatsink because of core temp..

and i love real temp

if i m wrong.. sorry

edit reply version..

core temp v 0.99.2
real temp 2.70

What version of Coretemp & RealTemp you use?
Please use the latest one.

-pWs-

i download again.. new 1.. still same
latest coretemp

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Windows-Widge...Core-Temp.shtml

Post screenie here w those monitoring softwares.

-pWs-

i i sir..



and for information.. i m seting at bios, temp sound warning at 60 c
and i dont hear any sound

i m happy with this result..

What version of RealTemp you use??

-pWs-

adjust the tjmax......

If he using old version of RealTEmp, adjustment of TJmax is not available.

-pWs-

my tjmax 85 85 85 85

get the latest realtemp version 2.75 and above ....

then u shud get same result edi

sorry bro..

what about i m setting the alarm temp at bios..
its true.. sound when real temp reach 60.. got sound from motherboard

what mobo u were using anyway?sometimes mothbroard sensor are inaccurate too.like mine

gigabyte x48 dq6

the sound from mobo is refering to ur mobo display cpu temp.... that is cpu temp shown on the software that came with ur mobo....

it doesnt follow coretemp or realtemp software.....

from my mobo,usually its lower by 10C which inaccurate at all.Core temp should be good and pretty accurate even it beats my asus probe which might have compability issue with 65nm proc.

maybe bro.. got to learn this.. maybe the sensor wrong

qx6700
x48 dq6
croshair 2gb x 2 800mhz
gtx 280
odin 800 watt
scorpion xigmantex
p80r

not "inaccurate", most mobo measure at the CPU surface not internal core.

owh.. thank for this lesson

latest core temp and latest real temp



i m uninstaling my window blind

50'c++ on idle.......

u better get a better cooling system or go water cooling.

its normal temps for 65nm quad + its B3 steppings.... its hotter then G0 of course....

even on watercooling also hard to tame those B3s

yes bro.. i think so

yeah.. my dualie e6600 B2 stepping is a lot hotter than my quadie q9450...
