Do I need to reseat my cooler?

Nuwidol · 10 Dec 2009 at 22:06

Got hold of a Q9650 a few days ago & I've been messing about trying to get the most of it since. I'm having some really wild temp differences between the cores & from some searching I've done some people seem to think its OK so I thought I'd pose the question to everyone here.

Here is a screenshot of the temps

Under load the 2 hotter cores are around 3-4 degrees hotter.

Thanks for the help.

apparently there can be pretty wild variations in the sensors themselves

Thanks for the link. Thats kind of why I wasn't sure if I should bother or not. I know the 2 groups of cores can have different temps & that the sensors themselves can vary.

I may give it a go at the weekend if I can be bothered any way to see if anything changes...
