Seems to be running a little hot

[natis]

Hello all. 1st post and new to overclocking. I built a new system for x-mas, had a few issues installing vista but that's worked out.
Specs.
Wolfdale e8500
Gigabyte ep45-ud3p
8 gigs G. Skill ddr2 1000 (pc2 8000) (4*2)
Artic Cooler freezer 7 pro
HIS 4870 1 gig gpu

runs fine but there is an 8 degree differential in hw monitor between core0 and core1, core0 is running at 27c and core1 is at 35c. Any ideas, tips, tricks or suggestions? thank you

Re: Seems to be running a little hot

Lots of info here:-

Real Temp - CPU temperature monitoring

There is no temperature "Monitoring" as such on these Intel CPU's. All the software monitoring utilities do is make sense of a countdown to CPU throttling - ie where a thermal limit is reached (TjMax)

This is why some cores vary so differently especially between idle and mid temperatures. A more linear output is seen at higher temperatures.

If you follow the associated links from the link above, there is a wealth of information on this.

Re: Seems to be running a little hot

thanx for the links, other than that how do the BIOS settings look? any suggestions on them?

Re: Seems to be running a little hot

Channel A & B Static tRead should match and you can likely use 9

Re: Seems to be running a little hot

thanx LSD, set both to 9 and adjusted the driving strength profile to 800? What does the DSP do? govern the data rate between the CPU and the DIMMs?

Re: Seems to be running a little hot

The driving Strength profiles load certain settings for the settings below that as a Whole profile without the user needing to manually find and tweak working ones. As for how that works and what exactly it does I am not so sure nor can I get a decent reply from anyone

Static tRead Value however I can tell you a bit about, see here for a Explanation >>>
