Differences between individual core temps on a 6600 normal?

[Spudgun]

On my 6600 clocked to 3.2 (9x356) there is a difference between the temperatures of CPU0 and CPU1 measured by Intel TAT of between 4 and 5 degrees both when the CPUs are idle and also when running orthos, with CPU1 always being the cooler core. Is this fairly normal, or do i need to be reseating my HS+Fan?

Many thanks

Mine varies by about 3 degrees, sometimes 4. It's not a problem as long as both temps are within normal ranges.

excellent, thank you for your reply. Nearly had the whole system apart again then
