CPU temp not registering

[pardo]

I just purchased an E8400 3.0ghz intel cpu and stuck it in a EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i FTW SLI ATX Intel Motherboard.

When I run RealTemp or Coretemp, it is only showing 1 core (instead of 2) and the temperature is flat, no matter how much i run the CPU in Prime95.

Can somebody help me? Thanks.

I'm shooting in the dark here but did you try updating bios?

I had a xeon 3110 (e8400) and 1 core got stuck, the temp would never changed. I RMAed it and it was fine after that. I have a 750i FTW board.

Keep in mind though, 750i FTW boards have had several bios updates over the past year to fix a lot of stuff with them. It is HIGHLY recommended that you get the latest bios. There is a rampant video corruption issue on these boards that they are trying to fix with these updates.
