I was planning on OCing my Q6600 system this week (put it together before X-mas and haven't had the chance to mess around yet).
I downloaded SpeedFan and noticed that the temps displayed for each of the cores at idle are 19, 17, 11, and 11. The 6-8 degree difference between cores 2/3 and 0/1 seemed a little odd to me and has me wondering if I did not get the thermal paste applied evenly across the cores. Is my reasoning good or is this something that normally happens?
I am using the TT Ultra Extreme and a Scythe 120mm fan.
