On my AMD 64 X2 5500 one core is showing 59 degree's F and the other is 80.6 degree's shouldn't they both be near the same temp? or is this a common thing that happens alot? my GFX card is also showing a temp of 122 degree's is that acceptable? Geforce 8800GT 512mb

Odd... my 6000+ Gives me 39 Degree's(Celsius) on both... I guess the second one is used by more programs at the same time?

The OS sometimes just randomly picks a Core to use as the main one, which is kindof silly... But I guess that kindof explains why its hotter then the other one.

Perhaps there is a single intensive thread running that is heating up one of the cores.

After more investigation benjamin the system idle is at 98% and the second core still is about 10C higher then the first core, although not making much of a difference in the heat i think it might be the stock heat sink and fan but have no way of testing it.

what are you using to read your temps?
and its not uncommon for one core to be higher than the others

no problem

try out CoreTemp, it takes accurate readings from the on-die component on the chip, at least it does with Intel cpu's.
