Hi, im not actually overclocking but since Prime95 is mainly used after overclocking i thought this was the best place to post this:

Ive just built my first PC (yeah im a noob at this) and everything seeems to have gone fine, windows 7 installed, no problems.

On the tutorial i watched to help me build my PC the guy said to run stress tests to make sure everything was as it appeared. So i downloaded Prime95 and ive only been running it for about 15 mins now but one core is only completing about half the tests that the other cores are.

Now, i dont really understand what this means, have i damaged my CPU when i was installling it? or is this normal for my CPU? ( my CPU is an AMD fx8320)

Thanks in advance, looking forward to reading your replies.
