@dear unclewebb

I have a question for u. (sorry if it is too simple for you) I'm really confused.. here is the situation..

My previous e8400

max stable o.c.(12 hours orthos stable) 1.432v 4.050 mhz idle : cpu: 38 core1:49 core2:59 load: cpu:66 core1:77 core2:79

my present e8400

4 hour orthos stable at:1.216v 3825mhz but idle: cpu:46 core1:43 core2:59 load: cpu:66 core1:79 core2:80

this second e8400 seems some problems with temps. core2 is stucked at 59. it never goes below. ı couldn't find my max stable o.c. because at 1.296v 4.050 mhz load temps goes to cpu:77 core1:90 core2:91

what is happening ??? why mee???

is it logicially possible for the cpu temp (single one reported by mobo) can be higher than the loves core die temp?? what should ı do? am ı doomed to use it at 3825mhz although it is obvious it can go much higher???

(these temps from coretemp)...

please help...
