Dual Core Overheating

i've noticed when using speedfan that one of my core is running well over what it should and under load its extremely high.

amd am2 +6000

core 1 @ 30c
core 2 @ 54c(idle)
core 2 @ 70+(load)

i'm using high quality paste and heatsink/fan combo.
i'm not new to building computers but this just hits me as wrong.

any thoughts or ideas?

cheers


p.s. i'll post system specs if need be.

Re: Dual Core Overheating

Does Task manager show both cores or only one?

Re: Dual Core Overheating

What program are you using to get the temps?
If not from the Bios what does the Bios show on a reboot for temps?

Re: Dual Core Overheating

speedfan is showing the temps. bios doesn't seem to show temps anywhere or i'm missing something.

can you mention a few apps to see if speedfan is accurate or not?

Re: Dual Core Overheating

Is this an OEM like Dell or Gateway if so what brand and model?
