e6600 speedfan conundrum

sebastianlieken

i currenty have my e6600 at stock becasue temps were concerning me. usin speedfan, at idle it will tell me core 0 and core 1 are around 25 and 24 respectivly and under orthos load, theyle go upto around 45.the 'cpu' reading in speedfan however tells me that at idel and load, the temps are 35 and 60 with a +/- delta of around 20 degrees!!!!, meaning load is reading off at 70 degrees on 'cpu'....

can anyone tell me wat the fizzle is happenin here. how can the the cores be cooler than the heatsink???. is it possible the 'cpu' temp is actually my northbridge temp???...northbridge gets very hot to touch, much hotter than the pipes on the ninja

im being very cautious of temps because of it

more than adequate airflow by the way, jus so ye know.

cool man, i downloaded this and it confirms the core temps just as speedfan says. so i presume i just go by the core temps then, i mean they have to be the hottest part of the cpu right?!!

core temps it is

if i keep these under 65 degrees at orthos load, should be flyin it!
