Using a 3800+ x2, asus a8n-sli premium, and zalman 9700 (no o/cing. Zalman fan is on full and so is my exhaust, zalman fan goes into the exhaust fan which carries teh heat out. Core 1 is being read as 28c while the other core is 38c (idle), and under full load its about 43/55-60. I put a small dot of AS5 on the chip like it says on artic silvers website and then i latched down the zalman, did i do this right?
 
yeah you installed right. i get a difference between cores (1-2 c) but that is not right. have a 10 or more degree difference isnt right. what program are you using to monitor the temps ?

maybe your zalmans base isnt level. try a stock cooler if you have on or look at the bottom of the zalman ands see if its level.

I was using coretemp. Speedfan is wacko it reports just rediculous temps (like 100+ c), and it says the fan is spinning at 15,000 rpms lol. I will recheck the cooler
