Dual Core CPU temperature question

[Bradtechonline]

For example I have two cores.

Core 1 is 19c
Core 2 is 20c

Would I combine them to get my true CPU Temp?

No. They are two separate temperature readings from two different parts of the CPU. There is no reason to combine them.

It sounds almost like "I have my C2Q running at 2.6GHz, so my true CPU speed would be 4 * 2.6GHz = 10.4GHz." :beer:

Of course it is! Don't you people subscribe to the GeekSquad & Firedog newsletters? Dang, even the pimply salesboy @ Fry's told me so. You can't argue with the experts.:roll:

I'm running my X3350 @ 14.7ghz, but unforetunately my load temps are 280c:Q

lmao, wasnt the phenom originally suposed to have this feature? where multi cores to mimic a single core and ultimately spank an intel processor in single application?

AMD what happened??

Both AMD and Intel have research products focused on "reverse Hyper-Threading", but neither has ever said anything to indicate that they had any near-term plans to bring such things to market.

Not that that ever stops the rumor mill.

Incidentally, it's unlikely that your temps are really that low. (Possible, but unlikely.) What's your CPU and what are you using to measure the temperatures?
