What do you use to monitor CPU temps?

[MR-FIX-IT]

Title says it all. I see that Core temp is inaccurate.

What do I use?

Try Real temp, I normally take the average between Real temp and core temp and IMO it is as accurate as it will get.

What about Intel Thermal Analysis Tool?

TAT is years old tech for Pentium M not C2D.


CoreTemp is the most accurate your gonna get for 65nm, coretemp/realtemp both read from the same place but have difference tjmax's, which are changable in both programs.

Temperature monitoring on CPUs is not accurate.

What is Tjmax? Thermal Junction? But what does it mean / for?

As James said, ancient and inaccurate for C2D's
