I just got a q6600 on abit ip35 pro, my first build ever. I installed a tuniq tower on it and the only OCing ive done is FSB 333 to run the quad at 3ghz. Temps seem fine but its a bit weird to me maybe someone can help. Sometimes when I boot up temps will be like this: Core 0: 27 Core 1: 21 Core 2: 27 Core 3: 19 so is like core 0 and 2 are aboutr the same and 1 and 3 are about the same.
 
Now this is where it gets weird, sometimes after a reboot the temps seem to be about the same but switch cores, for instace core 0 and 1 will be 27 and core 2 and 3 will be 21, and other times its core 0 and 3 will be 27 and cores 1 and 2 will be 21, when loaded on prime 95 for 1 hour+ the temps dont seem to even out, they just seem to keep the same distance about 8-10c between them, any help or info would be appreciated, thanks.
 
All temps are taken with core temp, I am running windows XP. Also sometimes one of the cores says 17c on idle, which I am pretty sure its im possible since my thermostat here is set at 70f.

Fors30, you may have defective Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS). Use Real Temp 2.24 to test your sensors: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forum [...] ?p=2809778
 
If you can't RMA your processor, you don't have to rely on Core temperatures. You can instead use CPU temperature, which is the ONLY temperature Intel supports. Read the Core 2 quad and Duo Temperature Guide to learn how to properly test, calibrate and monitor temperatures, so that you'll be confident that thery're correct: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ture-guide
