    Curious, just HOW HOT does an R-2 i7 run vs an R-2 i5?

    My i7 640UM at stock + TS ran about 1C hotter than my R1 SU7300 OC'd to 1.73 GHz, for your reference (same ambients).

    The i7 has Turbo, and an 18W TDP, but that TDP figure includes the NB. All added up together, both the C2D and i7 have almost identical max TDP limits as a platform.

    Yeah, my fan ramped up to a berserker mode I didn't realize exists, last night during a session of SC2. Time to get out the air gun and clean it out, lol.

    lol, it's giving different temps for each thread o.0 I wasn't aware Intel added temp diodes on the setup engines... I always thought they were near the FPU or something like it...
