I have a E8400 and just bought the q9450 for the heck of it! Guess what? The temperature sensors on this Yorkie are also way off. My mobo reports 67 C idle and Coretemp 50 c idle and Real temp 50 to 71 c. Could it be it's the 680i chipset? Anyone running another board wihtout this issue? BTW, for those who think the 8 multiplier on this chip is a big limiting factor...Not! I ran this chip to 3.6 ghz on only 1.36 Core volts and it ran 3Dmark06 at the same score (19,101) as the Wolfdale at 4.4 ghz. This chip is a monster overclocker and blazing fast stock!!! Highly recommended investment!!!
