Opteron 170 Inconsistent Temps

[jasonstjohn]

I have an Opteron 170 with a Tuniq Tower working on the overclock, and I've been getting very inconsistent temps.

Running Prime95 under full load is giving me the following temps:

ASUS Probe II: 52C
ASUS Probe I: 52C
CoreTemp: 58C (core 0) 73C (core 1)
Speedfan: 52C (core 0) 74C (core 1)

Any ideas?

NICE overclock! I got my 170 LC9BE to 2.97GHz before it refused to POST any more.

I had the same problem, but not with such a huge disparity between cores. I wrote about it:
