I've been trying to convince myself that perhaps the IHS is not making good contact with both cores. That might explain why one of the dual cores in a Quad is running at a higher temperature. When the two center cores are running hotter or if the two outside cores are hotter you could consider that it might be a heatsink installation or thermal paste issue. The way your processor is, it sure looks like a different TjMax issue as crazy as that sounds to people that still believe these sensors are perfect.
There's exactly 5C difference in your Max Temps.
My original plan was to only include adjustable TjMax for the two dual cores within a Quad but now I'll just go with adjustable TjMax for each core for more flexibility.
Could you e-mail me a RealTempLog.txt file for your processor. My address is in the About... box.
You can go into the RealTemp.ini file and set:
LogInterval=1
to create lots of data for me. Run it at idle for a minute and then run Prime small FFTs for a couple of minutes until temps more or less stabilize and then go back to idle for a minute so I'll have plenty of numbers to look at.
Information like this really helps me out. The 45nm Quad guys with seriously bunged up sensors will thank you!
