Antec 900
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
Intel C2D 8500 (air cooled w/ XIGMATEK HDT-S1283)
Crucial Ballistix ddr2-800 (CL4)
Sapphire 4870 1GB
Alright, so i've got everything installed and updated. i've downloaded CoreTemp, RealTemp, HWMonitor, Speedfan and Everest.
i would like to hit at least 3.8GHz (9.5 x 400), and from what i've read that should be very easy, so i'll push on from there once i know what i'm doing.
my only concern before i start is that one of my cores is 7° C warmer than the other (31° and 38° when Tjmax is 100°C). is something wrong? shouldn't they be practically the same?
