In RWEverything? No, you need to add these register addresses to the User table of addresses to be displayed. Do the following:
- Open MSR window.
- Click on the User List icon.
- Enter the following lines, one at a time, into the entry box and click on Add:
Once you press Done, it will start displaying these MSRs. They are executed in the context of each execution thread. The default polling interval is 1.5 seconds, I believe. The values for the IA32 Temperature Target MSR and the IA32 Package Thermal Status MSR should be the same (though you may see some variance in the values from the IA32 Package Thermal Status MSR due to polling time). The values of the IA32 Thermal Status MSR are Core-specific. That is, the two threads in a Core will have the same values.
With my i7-4770K,
- I am seeing 0x0641400 in the IA32 Temperature Target MSR. Bits 16::23 tell us that my processor has a Tjmax of 0x64 or 100c. Bits 8::15 tell us my processor has a Tcontrol Offset of 0x14 or 20c (which means that Tcontrol is 100c - 20c = 80c; this is the threshold above which the processor fan should be at 100% duty cycle (i.e. full speed)).
- I am seeing 0x88440800 in the IA32 Thermal Status MSR for Thread 0 and 1. Bit 31 being set tells us the reading is valid. Bits 16:22 tell us that my processor's Core 0 is at temperature offset 0x44 or 68c. The absolute temperature is Tjmax - Toffset = 100c - 68c = 32c (i.e. nice and cool).
- I am seeing 0x88440800 in the IA32 Package Thermal Status MSR. Since the analysis of this MSR is the same as the IA32 Thermal Status MSR, this tells is that the processor's package temperature is also 32c. The package temperature is an amalgam produced from the readings from all of the DTS within the processor (Intel does not publish the algorithm for producing this amalgam).
Hope this covers what we will be looking at with your processor.
