RealTemp is wrong?

I guess i know the reason i've been getting a lot of crashes in bioshock. I always though realtemp was the right one. Now i gotta try and fix my temps :bang head
 
Nothing to fix. RealTemp has a 95 TJMax on than Quad and others 100. That's why you have a 5C offset.
But all it's matters is distance to TJmax in full-load and it's the same in all those programs.
As long as you don't see a checkmark in PROCHOT section you're OK.
BTW try latest RealTemp and do a stability test with IntelBurnTest. If you pass that burn test you're good to go.
 
Thanks the new version of realtemp fixed it, but now i found out how high my temps were. I reached 80 degrees while running the intelburntest
 
Although intel has not published tjmax for Q6600, intel is almost assuredly using tjmax 100 for it, if they are using round numbers like 45nm tjmax.

We know intel is setting tjmax 5C above what is measured with IR at idle (from 45nm series). So it would be likely intel uses 100 on Q6600 for reason 1 the IHS measures 95 at DTS=0. And reason 2, intel has a formula for the relationship of tjmax and tcasemax, which based on 45nm tjmaxes is 26 to 30C difference for both duo and quad.

Processor--power(W)--Tcase max--Casing IR(idle)--Tjmax (actual temps are +/- few C per intel)

(compare to QX9650 with known tjmax)

E4400 L2--65-----------61.4----------85---------------90?85?
E4400 M0-65-----------73------------------------------100?

I am using 97 tjmax for my E8400, as 3C is graphically documented for IHS gradient at idle on pentium northwood, and intel has documented no gradient across die at idle on 65nm and I think IHS gradient is no more than 2C on 65nm from die attach improvements, and intel has stated temps are +/- a few C at tjmax.
 
Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q9000 and Q8000 series - 100°C
All Q9's (nonextreme) are 95W, Tcase 71.4, tjmax 100.
