hey guys, ok so i havent been here in FOREVER so go easy on me lol
first off KILLER post uncle.
well basically i went out and got a shiney new E8400 in hopes to break 4ghz and stay there. seeing as i dont think i am too noob @ OCing i figured this should b fairly easy from what i heard. well needless to say after watcing my temps from beginning to end i was fairly confused. i then found this thread and had some suspicions confirmed (once again thanks)
as u can see below i was able to hit 4.3Ghz and had it stable enough that i was using it daily to game and do everything else for about 2 days.
today i decided to 'calibrate' my temps so i brought everything back down to stock
i was running at 4.3ghz and before i found RealTemp i was using CoreTemp.
here is a little scene from when i was gaming

there are several ?'s i have from all the stuff i have been doing and seeing here.
1. my Core#0 is ALWAYS 10 degrees less then my Core#1 ,why?
i was reading about the thermal sensor being stuck, but mine still moves but its just always ~10d less.
2. i noticed that my CPU has no revision #, should i be concerned about that?
According to Coretemp my revision is C0; so it says.
3. y does the test say both my cores are 5 but i KNOW my core 0 is always lower then 1. so wouldnt the test read like 1 and 5 or something like that?
4.idk what to believeanymore. my room ambient temp is about 26-27C and maybe even lower at night. right now RealTemp shows (27C/38C) but a few hours ago it was at (31C/41C) all this is stock no OC. that is only a few degrees off of what the room actually is, so does that mean i should use the (0) setting? i mean my case has great airflow and when i shoot my temp gun around everything seems nice and chilly. i mean my fricking 8800GTS is @ like 47C idle.
i even added a new mini fan to blow across the ram and CPU so i have a hard time believing a 70C CPU temp
i would love any kind of suggestion other then me just cookin this thing. lol
btw i have the CPU and NB on 1 cooling loop w/ a DD dual 120mm rad. that has both fans on it. see below
