I find this quite odd: I'm using a dual-P3 machine, both CPUs running at same speed, same voltage and have same kind of heatsinks.
However, one gets considerably hotter than the other, even though both heatsinks are properly in place and have sufficient amount of thermal paste. The following was after running cpuburn on both CPUs:
These temperatures are achieved when the setup looks like this:
It also looks like either the thermal paste or something else is getting a bit hot:
Nevertheless, 25C difference in this setup seems quite odd. Do any of you have any explanations?
