**Official ABIT IX38 QuadGT Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[ScubaMob]

unfortunately, trying the CPU on another mobo won't be a possibility for me. I took the multiplier down to 6x in BIOS and speedfan still showed the temp difference but cpu-z showed the multi's correctly. Im thinking that maybe cpu-z just isn't reading cores 2&3 correctly. Also is the cores where indeed slower than would they finish prime tests more slowly than the other two cores? As is they are all about even.

Think this is a false alarm. Just a coincidence that the two cores that happen to be cooler also just happen to read slower in cpu-z. Hypothetically, underclocking to a multiplier of 6 should have effected the temps if the cores had been running different multipliers. Also, it should have shown up in prime if half the cores were running 1ghz slower. I'll just assume all is okay.

I would get everest, Ace, but don't you have to pay for it? Anyways, thanks for the input!
