I am testing the stability of my OC on my new X2 4400+ ( ADV4400CDBOX ) and noticed something odd while running Prime95. It appears that one of the cores will run the torture test faster than the other. Right now they are both @ 238x11 (2.62Ghz) w/memory @1:1 1T. If I start Prime95 w/in 1 second on each core, after about 1/2 hour one of thie cores will be at least one cycle ahead of the other. After about 2 1/2 hours it had gone ahead by almost and entire test group (around the 128K test or so). My temps are 63C which is well within tolerance (<=71C) according to the AMD specs for this model.
So I am wondering if other people have noticed the same thing. CPU-Z says they are both matched in clock speed but I am wondering if maybe they aren't quite matched or something. Any ideas what is happening?
thanks,
John
