one cpu at 34C the other cpu at 45C

[Ladies Man]

ok i got a bp6 with 2 celeron 366@550 2.0volts

one is 34C the other is 46C
both have alphas and the temperature stays the same with the fan blowing on or sucking out

No thermal paste


whats the deal? Why such a difference?

It's normal for one of the CPUs (usually the first) to run hotter than the other, since it'll do more work. But an 11 degree difference is unusual, unless a heavyweight (CPU-intensive) thread is running on one CPU and little or nothing on the other.
