i assume your Qx is one of the earlier batches ie- L39A/B or the earlier 40s. those have a known problem with stuck DTS'. unfortunately Intel's RMA doesn't cover those. there isn't anything really wrong with your 2nd core. simply a stuck sensor. i know its irritating. i have 2 "stuck sensors" that are always fixed 10C lower than the other 2. same thing with my ES. seems that most Qx9650s have this problem.

guess some of us aren't so lucky

Wah, nice temp.

Just bought the q9450 but a bit disappointed with the core temp.

At idle (during hot days), the temp is as follow:
Core 0 = 57C
Core 1 = 57C
Core 2 = 45C
Core 3 = 45C

At max load (Prime95), the temp:
Core 0 = 65C
Core 1 = 65C
Core 2 = 59C
Core 3 = 59C

The temp of the first 2 cores are always higher than the last 2.

Sigh

Same goes to my Q9300 as well.
Core1 & Core2 highest than the other 2 cores.

My core1 10 degree higher while core2 5 degree.
If that the case, I more disappointed than you lor.

i went to Imbi today, and ask about E8400. The seller said i should wait until this 14th or 16th because Intel will have a price cut on its procs.

Anyone can confirm this?

VT is Virtualization technology
u use virtualization?
if yes...that would definately speed things up imo...

if not...better off with a cheaper proc without the tech...

Intel to cut prices on July 20th

Dual cores affected

We don’t know the exact numbers, but we've received a notice that Intel will pull in the price cuts from July 20 to August 10.

The price cuts will affect both boxed and tray processors and we know that 45nm dual core models will be especially affected.

Intel plans to cut the price of the E8500, E8400 and E7200 and probably a few more CPUs. So if you were planning to update your machine you better wait a few more days to get these babies cheaper.
