Intel TAT is the most accurate program, much more so then the BIOS.
Intel TAT uses the onboard temperature diode on each core to find the temps, the BIOS and programs such as speedfan only read the CPU temperature diode on the motherboard directly below the CPU.
So to say again, Intel TAT gets it's info from the temperature diodes located on each core. The BIOS and other windows-based apps read the temperature diode which is located on the motherboard, so it's not the actual temp. It also shows you why Intel TAT shows different temps for both cores.

But judging be the scale we all know, TAT is wrong. We can concur that 60*C is a bad temp to be at (talking Core 2 duos). It even says in the manual and BIOS. If something tells me its above 10*C than anything else, I can say that TAT must have something wrong. with TAT then 70*C is bad. But no one else goes by the way TAT reads. It confuses others so IMO its not the best one to chose.

I tried to OC to 3.2GHz (still no voltage changes) but the system restarted on its own after about 30 secs at 100& usage. I went down to 3.15GHz... set the TAT to full load -the CPU usage at 100%-for 10 minutes, everything seemed stable
Max Temps
Core 0- *Briefly* 63C, mainly 62C
Core 1- 60C
Not too bad... these temps WERE measured in TAT. Right on the threshold of safe if TAT is accurate, pretty much safe is it isn't.

My temps are 10 degrees higher with Intel Tat than either the bios or any other program. I'm not saying it's wrong just that it's quite a difference.
I was also wondering why cpu 1 is greyed out? I can't do anything with it but the temp on there does change. I'm just wondering if Windows is having a problem with the second core as far as recognizing it? In the device Manager it is showing 2 processors but something is up.
Any clues?

Its different and misleading. The thing is, you HAVE to lean in order to use it correctly. Those who don't see what it does, get tricked. Its like temperatures. everything else is like Celcius. More people use it in the world. TAT is like some poor confused Chinese man who came to America using Fahrenheit for the first time. If you use it you have to learn and get no real benefit. Instead of what everyone knows how to use and is simpler and everyone is familiar with.

More like Intel TAT is the first real program that actually tells you the accurate temps, vs the BIOS and programs like Everest and Speedfan that only tell you the temp of one core, and that arent always accurate.
For instance, the BIOS on one of my previous rigs said my Pentium D was running at 19C when overclocked to 4Ghz.

What processor have you got? Some processors have a virtual second processor or a co-processor, so in actual fact it's not a true dual core, therefore TAT will not recgonise it as dual core.

You have a set knowledge that for a core 2 duo E6300 60*C should be tops. Programs besides TAT tell you this by that knowledge weather you are above or below. TAT can do the same thing, in a different, less used knowledge. Although you can learn both, thing is, more people know by programs unlike TAT to know when to stop OC'ing. TAT is a different way of seeing things, not many people like the way it see to what they have learned.

C2D 6400, it's a dual core or Intel is lying to me.
lol thats a dual core ya. Not sure why TAT is doing that. TAT is showing mine as being a Pentium M, I really am using a C2D E6600 weird.
