only thing is core 0 always is almost 10c higher than core 1 at idle.. ive tried different heatsink and reseating it.. didnt help?? anyone else have this issue.

not running prime or orthos i max at about 56-58c when encoding a dvd with convertxtodvd and i see around 90+ uasage on core 0 and over 70 most of the time on core 1

im still running orthos at just a hair under 70c (65-69) does anyone think another e8400/8500 would be worth a try or would i not really gain anything on air over this one??
Don't worry about your temps. Mine are the same... 1.32v and 72C under Prime95 small FFT's. I remounted the HS 2 times and used a TRU before getting this Xigmatek. Same temps.

We just have hot running CPU's or the it's our DFI, altough i don't think so.
