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