much as it's hard for me to tell, due to partial colour blindness, the graph is colour coded on the :arrow: :arrow: :wink: but the question is.... moot. :wink: sq-2,3 & 4 are the three lines all close together, ignore the line above for sq-5, it's the dual 466. sq-2 is the faster, and the bright yel...

Tried out the new wizard. Core1 still shows VTT voltage. :cry: this is not a bad thing. :roll: :wink: once you see that the two core voltages are going to be the same anyway, and if one is off a bit the machine probably will stop anyway, it's nice to watch the VTT line to see if the 1.50volt varies...

insane

if one takes you 15 hours -
running two will still take 15 cpu hours, but will take you 30 hours

so running more than the number of cpus you have
doesn't actually achieve anything

Re: One CPU is 5-10 degrees hotter than the other CPU -Why?

This is somewhat normal for this motherboard. Many users have reported similar differences. Replacing existing CPU coolers with more efficient CPU coolers will help. my 466's were always different temps, running around 47 and 54 degrees no matter which socket or fan arrangement I recently bought so...
