Actual CPU temp monitoring

This is pretty big news, IMHO.

This is a new program that lets you monitor Intel's "Core", "Core 2" and all AMD K8 chips' die temperature. The temperature readings are very accurate as the data is collected from a Digital Thermal Sensor (or DTS) which is located in each individual processing core, near the hottest part.
The way this program works is as follows: Intel defines a certain Tjunction/TCaseMax temperature for the processor. In the case of Yonah it is 85C° or 100C°. First of all the program reads from an MSR, detects the Tjunction/TCaseMax temperature. A different MSR contains the temperature data, the data is represented as Delta in C° between current temperature and Tjunction/TCaseMax.
So the actual temperature is calculated like this 'Core Temp = Tjunction/TCaseMax - Delta'

Does this finally spell an end to questionable motherboard readings?

Give it a go. I'm definitely trying this when I get back to Perth
