iTAT - Error enumerating On Demand Clock Modulation Support

Terminating tool. That's what I get when I start Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool. My mobo is MSI P965 Neo (MS-7235). E6600. Corsair Value Select 667 Mhz. Sapphire Radeon x1900 GT. Running Windows XP SP2.

Anyone know how to resolve this or what's causing the error?

I had the same problem with a Foxconn board. Never resolved it. If you want temperature monitoring, I recommend Coretemp. If any has a solution, I'm all ears.

core temp and TAT monitor temps based on a sensor built into the cpu itself. Other programs like speedfan and bios monitor temps from a diode on the board and then uses an algorithm to calculate what your cpu "should" be at. If you use TAT, the temps would be similar to core temp. Now for core 2 on stock cooling, I'd say temps anywhere between 35-45 is rather normal depending upon case vent. the 85C intel put out a threshold temp is based on TAT temps and coretemp's reporting is the closest i've seen to TAT.

i'm not sure, i know that the cpu underclocks itself after 85 C so i wouldnt go past 70. Then again, im not much of an overclocker so maybe sum1 else would be able to give better advice.
