Could someone (love the sticky btw, very helpful) help me get the proper offsets to my numbers. Here they are in the required format:
SpeedFan 4.32 / TAT .0427
Tcase = 35c idle, 47c load (SpeedFan: CPU)
Tjunction = 40c idle, 53c load (SpeedFan: CPU0)
Tjunction = 41c idle, 52c load (TAT)
Ambient = 22c (Case Internal Ambient: ~34c idle, ~35c load)
Chipset = P965
C2D = e6700
CPU Cooler = Zalman 9700
Frequency = 2.667 GHz (266.7x10)
Load = TAT @ 10 min
Motherboard = Asus Commando (1001)
Vcore = 1.29v idle, 1.27v load (SpeedFan)
Idle to load Delta = 12c
Tcase to Tjunction Delta = 6c
Heat Score = 9 - Cool (A2/B1/C1/D1/E1/F2/G1)

Comments: The ambient temp in my case is taken with a sensor that comes with my case (Antec p160w) and could be off but is probably within a couple degrees. I read that the TAT is usually believable but if mine is (and my SpeedFan numbers agree so it would seem that it should be) then my Tcase temp should be around 25c idle which would be cooler than the internal case ambient and only a couple degrees warmer than room temp. Now I do have a couple 80mm fans at the back of the 5.25 bay cage (see pic) that should be putting pretty cool air onto the Zalman. If I assume that ambient temp air is making it to the cooler at 22c and keeping the Tcase at a nice cool temp of 25c letting the hottest core idle at 40c then I can be a happy camper and apply my -10c offset to the Tcase temp and go about my overclock. However, it is also feasable that the Tcase temp of 35c idle is correct and my TAT and SpeedFan Tjunction numbers are both off by 10c and I would have to disregard my TAT numbers and apply the +10c offset to SpeedFans CPU0 and CPU1 temps. This would mean that the Zalman isn't doing a very good job of cooling though (50c idle?) So which way do I go? or do I split the difference and go 5c both ways. If anyone has any pearls of wisdom they could share I would appreciate it. In the long run, I guess it doesn't matter because I don't think I will be pushing the envelope that close to Tmax in my overclock that I will worry about it but it would still be nice to feel confident in the numbers I am monitoring.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
