Anyway I noticed that the "CPU temp" is now always 5 degrees lower than it was before. The Tcase one, it was usually 33º with normal usage (not totally idle) and now it's down to 28º. The cores still report the same temperatures. From what I read, the bios calibrates the Tcase, but the Tjunctions are already calibrated, which explains what happened. Should I believe the new temp?
Got the same problem with two kingston HyperX pc2-8500.one is working perfectly and the other falls in memtest after few seconds.
i tried swapping bios versions that didnt help. checked the memory on other pc's they work perfect both of them...
i still think it's a bios realted problem...
