    Hello again everyone :D
    Small question, WHY throttlestop shows all temps about 6'C higher than every other program ?

    On my screenshot you can see 4 programs

    Everest 5.50.2100
    Coretemp 0.99.8
    HWinfo 3.8-1260
    throttlestop 3.0

    Throttlestop always shows temperatures about 6'C higher than any other program, both in load and idle.
    Idle temps are about 46-50 in all programs except TS witch shows minimum 52-53. Screenshot tooked just after 32M TS Bench.

    WHICH PROGRAM TO BELIVE ?Since i use ICD 7 i should not experience temps that TS shows, but i may be wrong...... any ideas ?






    EDIT

    Just downloaded new TS (previous was 3.0 as well). And now everything is ok, i mean TS show same temps like HWinfo and other programs.

    Open up the ThrottleStop.ini configuration file and have a look at what TJMax is set to. This information is read directly from the CPU and it is typically set to 100 Celsius. Try deleting this file and then restart ThrottleStop so it can read the correct value for your CPU. If you switched from a Core i5 CPU that had this set to 105 then that would be a problem but other than that, I haven't seen any other users with this problem.

    One thing ThrottleStop does differently is that it runs at a much higher priority so it has better access to the temperature sensors but this usually only makes a difference when fully loaded with Prime95 or LinX.

    If TJMax is set correctly then trust ThrottleStop. Try posting a screen shot of it and RealTemp.

    RealTemp 3.67

    The core temperatures can change instantaneously so it might just be that.

    i've always been a fan (no pun intended) of cpuid stuff. hwmonitor is a great program i use for checking cpu/gpu/memory temps. i don't have any other temp program on my laptop.

    cpu id is most popular however i love furmark and its built in graph. it gives you the most important temp in the graph without making one scratch their heads about the other temps.
