I have my e8400 clocked to 3.825. It is lapped and cooled with a zerotherm nirvana with mx-2. I dont know weither I should trust core0's temp. It never goes below 40c in core temp (39c real temp) and seeing a differece of as much as 10c between cores is not uncommon. It runs stable. Handles whatever I throw at it. Core0 tops out at 63c core temp (53c real temp). Core1 tops out at 57-58c. Should I worry? Should I even trust these temps?
