Well, I had to replace a dying MSI P965 Platinum with a P35 Neo2, so I figured what the heck and got a shiny new E8400 to go with it. Just arrived yesterday and has been running very smooth.
However, when I run speedfan (running VistaX64 so no luck with Coretemp or TAT) it registers core 1 & 2 temps as about 37/31, which seems oddly divergant. If I start stressing it with orthos core 1 jumps to 52, and core 2 doesn't move much, if at all.
My guess is that temp sensors for the E8400 simply aren't accurate yet. Should I be worried that one core isn't touching the heat shield properly? I've never seen temps so divergent. My E6400 was rarely more than 2C off between core 1 & 2.
I'm using a Zalman 9500 which I love, and had great luck with for my E6400.
Any thoughts?
