I've been mentioning this in another thread, but I think this will attract more attention:

I've got a HT 3.0C cpu, 800 fsb.
I've been testing it in a Aopen AX4SPE-N motherboard (I865 chipset)
It's overclocked to 240 fsb, it can take atleast 40 minutes of Prime95 100% load.

From the first look of it, it undervolts the cpu by 0.05-0.075V.
But, when I checked the voltages in MBMonitor I notice two core voltages.
Core 0 = 1.54V Core 1 = 1.65V In bios it is set to 1.600V
This is IDLE numbers.

Under load it shifts to:
Core0= 1.47 Core1= 1.55V two instances of Prime95 in "Max heat" mode

Has anybody else noticed this, or, whats your unbalance like?
Im going to put this cpu back into my semi-busted MAX3.
(Cant go near 1.650V in bios or NO-boot)
