Tonight I was surprised to see that, while Real Temp shows a 58c temperature on my E7200 under load, SpeedFan actually reflects a 68c temperature on the Core0 and Core1 sensors. Should I be worried?

Which reading should I be paying attention to, and how hot is too hot?

What is the TJMax set to on each?

TJMax should be 100°

TJMax is 100c in Real Temp, dunno in SpeedFan.

Well you can use speedfan if you can set the TJMax to 100, otherwise use RT or CoreTemp. RT is showing the correct temp.

Thanks. Mind telling me just what TJMax is, and why it matters? I've never really realized it had any relevance ... <- noob.

Is there an official "too f-ing hot" barrier for the C2Ds?

Most people don't like anything over 60C-65C. I try and keep it under 60C.

Fair enough. I was getting uneasy with my 63c on my original 3800mhz oc, so I guess I wasn't far off at all. When I saw 80s in SpeedFan, I nearly had a stroke.

Click to expand...

Max Core junction temperature before forced shut down by the Core due to it being into the imminently harmful zone. No one (I've seen) knows how it is worked out (as in physically) since there is a large and varying discrepancy between reported TJ and measured TIHS.
