Hello all.

Ive currently got my e6600 running 3.4GHz at 1.50v. CoreTemp reports Core0 is running at 40c and Core1 running at 39c IDLE. At load they run at the same temp. These temps vary depending on ambient temps. But Core0 is always 1c-2c hotter than Core1! Is this normal or is there something wrong?

Help appreciated.

Pefectly normal, and well within spec. Nothing to worry about 8) Keep pushin it, and let us know how it goes!

Nah I think ill stay at 3.40GHz. I dont wanna up vcore anymore. My chip demands more and more vcore as soon as I go higher than 3.2GHz! Ill need about 1.53v for 3.5GHz it aint worth that extra heat it will be generating.

I only needed 1.42v for 3.20GHz, 1.50v for 3.40GHz is a bit of a rise dont you think!?
