Hi,

I don't understand your question. As CPU load rises, the heat sink temperature rises but displayed Core Temperature fall down.
Maybe:
RealCoreTemp=Tjmax-DisplayedCoreTemp

By the other hand, the Northbridge Chip temperature is not working for me. With high IO activity, the IOH Heatsink (Northbrige heatsink) temperature rises, but the Northbridge Chip Temperature not.

Hi Steven,

the core temps low down at 100% cpu load.

Same for MacPro 3.1
Core Temp may not differ much from the heat sink or diode temperature, otherwise we would all have bad thermal paste between the CPU and the heatsink.
