you can monitor all the core temps/voltages. For a C2D system, Orthos works nicely for stress testing. It will automatically run two instances to load both cores. Prime95 is a little harder to set up. I must admit I've run the prime test w/o touching to...

or run multiple apps, or is one core totally out of use? Intel's processor ID Utility does indeed pick up 2 cores (but CPU-Z still doesn't). I don't see how you could be using two cores when Prime95 and Task Manager think there's only one core. 1.4 prolly...

with the CPU fan on max. Reason i wanted a 200 clock was to see if i could get the ram to work at its XMP profile. This was with intel's turbo mode enabled so on a single core with Prime95 again the clock goes up to over 4.2 (21x200), occasionally touched...

PC cooling for a good deal, about $20 shipped. The local junkyard wanted $20 for a heater core if I pulled it myself; needless to say it's a lot of work to yank out a heater core and I didn't think it was worth my time. Wish I could have found one cheaper locally...

for the help. I got a cooler master hyper tx2, dropped my cores 30 degrees, cpu dropped 15 degrees or so. So now during a large fft prime95 test, my cpu is 37C and the cores are 47/44. Pretty sweet hsf..lol ...

think the TG forums will be a little more helpful :D; any advice is appreciated. My system is as follows: MSI P965 Platinum mobo Core 2 Duo E6400 1Gb (2x512Mb) Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 Antec 500W Smartpower 7600GT Zalman CNPS9500...

it is possible. Really? Theoretically possible or functionally plausable? CPU temperature is always lower than Core temperatures when a balanced load is applied to all cores, such as Prime95 Small FFT's. The only exception is during an unbalanced load,...

else. Idle 24-25c for a quad core is pretty good. the temp diodes were never meant to measure idle they are for overtemp protection. just put a 100% load on all 4 cores with prime95 small fft torture test. wait about 15min and check the temps. this...

now i got chrismas dinner figured out hey obsidian.... how is your 720 holding up so far? what is the highest stable overclock you can get on all 4 cores? prime95 stable 3.35, everyday stable 3.699 at 1.52v but i need a better cooler to go higher but run...
