How so...it was only at 100% CPU load for about a minute ?

Cores are lower than ambient, which is impossible.

It's prolly just where the diode is located in the FX-4170...or that AIDA64 hasn't accounted for the 4170 yet ?

win7 isnt unstable are you kidding me nice excuse, and you need 7 installs why cuz its windows 7?, are you seriously a newb?

I'd rather just reinstall 7-8 times...than learn the hard way that I left a loophole somewhere. ^^

/edit I was getting a warning on every reboot...event ID 15...it took me a while to isolate the cause...AIDA64...even the latest version :/

/ee On a side note...Corsair finally came out with a 2x8GB set of Dominator Platinums... so I'm sending the 4x4 set back as soon as the 2x8 set arrives...damn CPU cooler

From A.M.D.'s sticky, the core temperatures are more accurate at and above 45 Celcius?

"Concerning your question regarding the temperatures with your processor. (1090) the maximum temperature threshold is 62 Celsius which set for the internal die (core) temperature of the chip. The core temperatures have an equational offset to determine temperature which equalizes at about 45 Celsius thus giving you more accurate readings at peak temperatures. The hindrance in this is the sub ambient idle temperature readings you speak of."
