Which tool shows correct temps on the i9400?

Got the i9400 a few days ago, so far i love it. Right now im having the problems that all the toosl imt using are showing different temperatures for the CPU and GPU. I got a CORE SOLO T1300 and the integrated intelg 945GM GPU (i never play :-)...

I would like to know which tool shows the right temperature. And further: can anybody name a tool that works properly with the new CORE cpu's. I would like to be able to throttle the cpu(underclock and undervolt) to get the most out of the battery.

there is a pre-release of RMClock which can handle the new processors. it can be found here:
http://forum.rightmark.org/topic.cgi?id=6:531

since im new to all the voltage/clockin etc. could anybody please give me some hints how to set up RM clock, if it is the right tool for me.

i tried NHC but many options in the tool are disabled/blanked out, i can not underclock and undervolt the cpu with the tool, still i like the graphs and the battery meter that comes with it.

i have also tried i9kfangui, seems to work but still im not sure if it reads the correct temperature...


so please guys, help me, i would like to set this thing up properly so the fans dont run (at all would be best) and to get the most out of the battery...

i had no possibility to test it properly.. but i would guess so.. if i do surfing and office i can get the 4 hours.. but i also have thie big battery (80Wh)

i am currently rechargind the batt. and then will unplug it again and see how much i get, got to do some web and graphic tasks today....

how do you suggest to test the battery.. MobileMeter shows a power consumpton of about 25w with the brightest tft setting, the cpu on 1000mhz with RMclock and wlan off... thats pretty nice i guess.. if i set the display to lowest setting, it consumes about 17watt only... i like this tool, pretty interesting to see which devices uses how much energy

If you had read my question and the reply to the question, you would know that currently there is no tool which shows the temp. correctly

.... if you want a comparison, you have to tell which tool you are using...
