L2 Stepping: Tj max 85c B2 Stepping: Tj max 85c M0 Stepping: Tj max 95c B3 Stepping: Tj max 95c G0 Stepping: Tj max 95c C0 Stepping: Tj max 95c C1 Stepping: Tj max 95c M1 Stepping: Tj max 95c Yep, when I was using RealTemp and it had a 95C Tj max for my M0 2180, the temperature world seemed to make...

thats like saying the pot of water on the stove is hotter than the burner, or the air inside the oven is hotter than the burner itself.. remember what I said about the HEAT SOURCE? I agree, the temp of the cores is higher than the case of the cpu by a good 10C in any cpu. Some things that confuse p...

In the next version of Core Temp, could you include Tcase temp ? Tcase temp would be more comparable to the mobo thermistor readings of olden days IMO.

where, Temperature = Tjunction Max - Delta (DTS value)


Thanks for posting the article link.


This is where I question the premise of the formula for all steppings. Has it remained the same ?

While the cores were at 97c the heatpipes were quite warm on my Zalman CNPS9700 NT, both it and the CPU are lapped using AS5. I have tried my CNPS9700 with my Pentium 4 630 @ 4Ghz 1.52v and the heatpipes didn't even feel slightly warm, but the P4 was on load @ 49c. I didn't think that would be a go...

A rule of thumb, not sure how accurate\reliable it is, is to keep the core temps 15-20C Tjunction Max for a reliable stability and not to shorten the CPU lifespan. I personally ran my chip, full load, at 65-75C for several months in a row and it's still alive and running stably. I just recently set...
