Hi, I recently upgraded to a i7 4930K and am in the process of trying to monitor my temps in the hope of starting to overclock. I am curious about which temperature to keep an eye on and what each one relates too. Currently I have 3 places that CPU temperature is mentioned
CPU [#0]: Intel Core i7-4930K: DTS:
Individual core temps (Core 0-5)
Distance to TjMAX
CPU Package
Core Max
CPU [#0]: Intel Core i7-4930K
Memory Ambient
CPU Package
PP0
ASUS P9X79 (Nuvoton NCT6776F)
MOtherboard
Auxiliary
SYSTIN 1-3
CPU
I did read on another thread that "Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS) are located at the heat sources where temperatures are highest" So I would assume that I should be keeping an eye on them temperatures , particularly the Core Max and CPU Package
For my old i7 3820 I just looked at "Core Max" and "CPU Package" under the DTS heading, but on my i7 4930K the readings under the non DTS heading are a lot higher.
For example just to check temps I applied a small 4.3GHz OC, the DTS readings for CPU Package and Core Max idle 40-42c peak at 74c while under the non DTS heading the CPU package and pp0 idle at 51-53c and peak as high as 85c. 74c under a stress test is one thing but going into the high 80s is concerning .
I know different programs can take readings from different places but if it matters Corsair Link seems to be on par with the DTS readings
Thanks.
