just hooked up my e5200 & zerotherm zf120 real temp reports 32C idle. bios reports 22C. when @ 100% load core 0 seems to be stuck at 32C while core 1 gets to 39C. is the load temp of 39C reliable?

thanks

Hi,

What do you use to put 100% load on cpu? Some apps wont put the same load on both cores. Theres also a possibility that one sensor is getting "stuck", i read something about it when i had same thing with my e5200, but indeed it was the apps fault because when i used prime95 than both cores were within 2C from each other at all time. And Id say 39C under load is more than reliable
