I'm still in need of an native English speaker, to check on the English translations.
Of both program and Web site.

These are TThrottle only translators for BoincTasks check the http://www.efmer.eu/forum_tt/index.php?topic=194.0 BoincTasks translation chapter.

Anyone interested in other languages, please let me know.

You can help improve TThrottle by supplying the following information:

Run the computer at minimum load e.g. stop all running programs and suspend BOINC.
Wait for a minute or 7 for the temperature to settle.
Start TThrottle and copy everything in the log tab. Exit TThrottle.
Run the computer at full load e.g. run BOINC at 100% or use the supplied Stress program.
Wait for a minute or 7 for the temperature to settle.
Start TThrottle and copy everything in the log tab.
Furthermore if you know or suspect the temperature at the time you copy the log please include them.

But always try to include the know temperatures and the program name you tested this with.

As of V 5.70 is is possible to adjust temperature readings of individual processor cores.

To do so modify the  following file tthrottle.xml in: C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle
If there isn't such file, copy it from: C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle\examples

Add the following, if it isn't already there:

<!--
   Adjust the core reading
   =======================
   <core_adjust> Adjust the processor core reading. This value will be added to the core temperature reading.
-->

<PROCESSOR>
  <core_adjust>-1;0;0;0</core_adjust>
</PROCESSOR>

Make sure you have only one <PROCESSOR> block.
Everything between <!-- up to --> is considered a comment.

The values as decimal, NO hex values are allowed.
A negative value lower a specific core temperature.

The cores are numbered as in the graph. Core 0 is the first one.

WARNING: The cores are the temperature sensor cores, NOT the hyperthread cores.
So the adjustments are on the values as seen in the Graph.

Check the log tab for the following line: <PROCESSOR> core_adjust: -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Just to check that you didn't do something wrong.

Best way to correct all cores at once:

Sometimes you need to correct the temperature.
This can be because you need to calibrate the sensor or the processor is not in the "known" list.
To do so, go to the "expert" tab and fill in the value left of "Set Tjunction Temperature"
This is not the actual Tjunction temperature but it is used for calculation only.
If you want a increase the reading by 5C. Type in a value 5 higher or lower than the value you see above it.
Select "Set Tjunction Temperature" to set the new value.
Press "set to default" to get the default value back.

The most common TJunction temperatures are 100C and 85C

If you do change the TJunction please notify me, so I can change this in the program, so others don't get the same problems.

Click on the "CPU" tab. There you can see the case temperature. A good guess is that the core temperature is 5C hotter.
The mobile processors can become quite hot, 70C for some time is not too hot. Some have a case temperature of 105C and with others the max is only 55C.

Seeing ?? please send me the log, so I can add your processor to the list.

If you know the temperature is off, because you saw it in another program, please report it to me so I can fix this in the next version.

Supported Intel processor:

Core™ Solo All (T/U 1300 - 1400), Core™ Duo All (T/L/U 2300 - 2700), Core™2 Solo All (U/SU 2100- 3300), Core™2 Duo Desktop All (E4400 - E8700)
Core™2 Duo Mobile All (T/P/SL/SP/SU/L 5200 - 9800), Core™2 Extreme All (Q X 6700 - 9775),Core™2 Quad All (Q 6700 - 9650)
Core™ i7 All (I7 920-940), Core™ i7 Extreme All (I7 965)

Supported AMD processor:

All beginning (and including) with Family: 0Fh (15)

Check the logging page, something like this should be at the start.
14:35:21 Driver installed properly. Driver Version: 1.9.

If you see "NO Digital Temperature Sensor Detected" your processor is probably not supported. See the supported processors in the FAQ
Make sure TThrottle is closed before installation! If TThrottle was running, close it now and run setup again.

Otherwise go to the directory [program files][efmer tthrottle] and start "InstallDriver.exe" as administrator.
Select the "Remove Driver" button and exit.
Start "InstallDriver.exe" as administrator again and select "Install Driver".
