Orbitech, I would lap it.

I had the exact same thing happen with one of my Q6600s. loaded temps were 68-59-54-54. I lapped it and now temps are 52 across all the cores.

Yes thank you DragonOrta..That's what I believe myself.. I was thinking of taking the cpu back to the store and request a change due to abnormally high temps in one core..
But then again I'm not so sure if I can find easily a cpu that does 3.6 @1.4v "stable" (well I can't really call a cpu stable when sometimes the same core fails with torture tests, but technically with a lapped cpu , it might have good O/C potential..
Am I right here or do you think that I should take it back?
If anyone is thinking something else that it might help then by all means plz say it..

On another note. You really shouldn't be pumping 1.7v through your chipset for 400mhz FSB. Bring that down a bit. 1.4 to 1.45v tops for that FSB.
