Why not go in Task Manager, under view --
turn on watching all 4 cores AND the kernel times.
Then watch - (Performance Tab.)
That should show if it is a real work difference.

BTW, I've reapplied the goop to the CPU at least 4 times since I have
had it. Certainly, not much curing going on.
I got the new mounting hardware today, too, so I'll be taking it all
apart again soon.

Good points, Duncan. I had forgotten all about this "curing". Thanks
for the comments.

Anthony,
Perhaps this thread has to wait until other quad-core users pick it up.
I just do not know.
Yes, you could have a HSF issue, but I'll bet it may really be that
you are still in the processor/HSF "bed-in" cycle. I recall that
with my C2D's, it took about 7 full 24-hour cycles for all 3 of them
to settle down temperature-wise.
From what I've read recently, all the new HS-paste(s) now seem to
have a "curing" period(?) DUH! OK. Something new for a builder to
deal with.
I am still so new to C2D processors that I still do NOT know what I
do not know! LOL!
I do so know that I love my C2D's!
Best,
Duncan

Thanks for the reply, Duncan. I'm not exactly worried, but sort of
wondering if my hs/fan is on correctly.
If I open task manager, and look at the CPUs in "performance" I see no
evidence that core 4 is the work horse. Usually, it is core 1 doing
most
of the work. Right now I can seem some rumbling among the core. None of
them seem to be doing much as I type this, even though I have a
bunch of
windows open right now. I'll get a spike once I send this! :)

Anthony,
I only have C2D, but I always notice that one core runs "cooler" than
the other. I chalk this up to I have a core in reserve for when some
problem/program/etc. needs the 2d core. Believe this is nothing to
worry about. JMHO.
Perhaps your core 4 is the one that gets all the normal duties; the
other 3 just float waiting to be called to duty.

Are you folks sleeping or working? :)
I notice on my Q9550 that core 4 always runs several degrees C higher
than the other cores (right now they are 33, 33, 34, and 39
degrees C).
Anyone know why? I'm using RealTemp 3.4 to monitor temps. It has been
this way for a while now, no matter how I have the hs/fan mounted.
Thanks.
