One question one of the cores is way cooler than the others 5-7C cooler, anyone seen this? I'm used to seeing a pair different, but not just one.
good show!

the temps or DTS readings are off the way...a wide variance in readouts...they, intel, must have a problem with the 45nm chips to get consistent temp readings....if you are happy with the overclock, don't worry about the temp to much....

my replacement 9650 has a low VID and about 7C spread between the coretemps...AND...it doesn't like high vcore AT ALL!
