Hi,
Just installed new cpu- e7500 not overclocked.

Using occt and core temp.

Noticed cpu 1 temp is 10 deg lower than cpu2 at idle.(27 and 37)

Under load they even out.(44 and 45)

Is this normal? or have i messed up the thermal paste? or will it bed in the after some use?

Cheers in advance,


Lizzy.
 
You may have one core with iffy sensor, when put under stress brings it inline.
Also the heatsink may not be completely flat and the same goes for the heat spreader on the CPU.

Temps look though.
 
i find most amd skt 939 and am2 cpu's do this, never had intel ones vary by more than 4 or 5 degrees but i wouldn't worry about it as long as both temps are good which yours are.
 
Stuck sensors was a pretty common issue on intel 45nm duals and quads, my q9550 was fine at idle, just the normal 3-4c between cores. However under load two cores were always 10c lower than the other two.
 
same cpu here, mine are idle right now, core 0 = 34c, core 1= 30, with peaks hitting 43 on 1 and 35 on the 2nd core, thats under a arctic freezer pro at stock clocks

you could try using CPUID hardware monitor i find it gives slightly better results than coretemp ;)
 
Thx for replies

Ok I reseated the heatsink and fan and temps are the same , so I guess its ok.

Another question, In cpuid it lists my ram and shows the timings, is it showing the recommended timings or the timings that my mobo has set it to?

My ram is geil pc2-6400 cl5-5-5ddr2-800 and cpuid shows the timings as

5-5-5-18

Cant find the exact same ram on the geil site but the closest looks to run at

5-5-5-15

Any ideas?
 
On the memory module these will show the timings and speed, you most probably need to manually setup these in the BIOS.
 
Click the memory tab in cpuz, (not the spd tab), this will show what your ram is currently running at.
 
thx again

Got ram timings of module, thx.

Ok so in bios ive disabled all the energy saving stuff - eist etc but not sure what Virtualization technology is, do i need it enabled?

I just play games, nothing else.
 
Don't worry with Virtualization technology, I think it only helps when you run another operating system within your current one using something like Virtual Machine.
