    I have a 2.53 dual core installed and according to rightmark CPU clock utility on maximum performance i am getting 2527mhz from core one and 2394 from core 2. The temperature difference between cores is also 1-2 degrees Celsius too.

    These results are reflected when using turbo mode as well theirs is about a 100mhz diff between cores.

    Can anyone else Confirm these results or is it just me

    Its a bug in RMClock

    I have a 2.53GHz T9400 and it is supposed to run on a 9.5x multiplier but RMClock can only see whole multipliers which limits the speed to 2.4GHz

    But even if i put no management then push its speeds up with asus's direct console i still see the same discrepancy between speeds even when pushed up to 2.8ghz OC with direct console RMCLOCK show cpu0 at 2.8ghz and cpu1 at 2.7ghz

    I somehow highly doubt that the hardware is able to run at this frequency differential (although IDA is able to push one core higher and turn the other off, so I can't really be sure).

    So I suspect a faulty RMClock readout, really.

    Try CPU-Z, or Everest. They are somewhat more reliable.
