do a search. You CAN get it to work with a simple BAT file.
On my A64x2 it shows the temps for both cores and they tie in with putting work on each core. I've never seen a program report what appear to be both actual core temps before on an A64 x2 chip.
However one core seems way too high under load.
Asus probe = 54C load, Coretemp = 59C and 71C.
Asus probe = 38C idle, Coretemp = 37C and 39C.
Given that the idle temps are very close, I'm inclined to believe there is some truth to what it is tellling me about the load temps.
Whether the values are exactly right isnt a big concern as it is stable but maybe one core doesnt have a good contact with the heat spreader.
To verify this I used Prime 2004 on the cores one at a time.
With Core 0 at full load, the temp increases and both cores show almost exactly the same temp, 45 and 46C, Asus Probe reports 45C.
With Core 1 at full load, Core 0 is 49C, Core 1 is 67C, Asus Probe reports 47C.
It does seem to show both core temps and it does look like one isnt being cooled very well!
Maybe my chip (4200+ x2 Toledo socket 939) can clock a lot higher if I sort this out.
I'm going to look at removing the heat spreader safely to put some Arctic Cermique under it.
Alternatively, as my heatsink wont clamp tight without the Heat Spreader, I will look to see if an easy mod can be done so I can put the heatsink directly on the core as this for sure will net lower temps and hopefully better clock
Then I will be able to tell if Coretemp really is getting it right.
When read with all other temp programs it is about 15 degrees cooler.
but why says the postman when HWMonitor is sooooo much better?
Same temps here, too. :duh:
Yup, the new M0 100C Tjunction reference shows just much the E21xx die to IHS thermal compound blows...or maybe it isnt 100C and really is 85C spec. Intel isnt telling how to read temps, that's for sure. I kinda wonder though, I have a E2180 lapped with a lapped Tuniq & Coolabotory LM running 3.0Ghz at 1.2875vcore and Orthos load is ~70C, before the 100C reference it was high 50's very low 60's under Orthos. From experience with this cooler and my E6600 running various speeds and vcores it seems fishy. But keeping in mind that the M0 stepping CPU's no longer have a solder based die to IHS interface one has to wonder how thermal transfer is working out. Anyone planning on yanking their E21xx IHS off and getting a feel for what the temps are like running that way?
I used the .bat found on the 'net, and it works just fine, so the 'special tool' method is a non-issue for me, ATM.
