djg Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi Fiery, we're having a discussion in Overclock.net on processor temperature readings. Aida uses Automatic by default, and we were wondering is this a static preset based on the processor or is it a value supplied by the CPU itself on recent processors like my i7 6900K? Thanks IA for some insight into this! DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 On Nehalem and later Intel processors, the TJMax value is SKU specific, and is encoded into a MSR (Model Specific Register). Hence it can be detected, and no need to use static presets or hard-encoded values. However, it also means that the TJMax value may vary between individual parts, so it's not guaranteed that e.g. your i7-6900K would use the same value as your friend's seemingly similar i7-6900K part.

djg Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 But I take it this means when read properly (e.g. Auto in Aida64) it's the correct TjMax for your specific chip which is great. Thanks, Fiery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
