    I followed the undervolting guide soruced from this forum. :cool: Here is a sceenshot of my problem.

    [​IMG]

    Current VID only goes to 1.1750V. When the maximum is set to 1.2375V. Is it because that is the maximum off this CPU? :confused: I was only wanting to go .100 down from the orignal set 1.2375V. Should I make 1.1750V the maximum and go down in the .100 interverls? It was set like that in RMClock when I first opened it. Thanks A lot.

    That seems to be very low. I don't want a crash or BSOD!

    vito357si that does look low... Doesn't matter if your using 24/7 if your not stressing the processor enough to test it. Stress it for a couple of hours using ORTHOS to test if it's stable enough.

    OneSickDV7T, i'd say it might be because the T9400 uses half multipliers, it might need higher voltage, thus RMClock cannot recognize it. Btw if you undervolt, you will downclock your 2.53GHz to 2.4GHz. If you decide to go through with it, yes, start at 1.1750v and drop it initially .100v, then decrease it by smaller increments after that. Continuously dropping it by a huge chunk (0.100v is a lot) will get you a fast BSOD.

    Is it normal for one CPU to be about 5°-10°F hotter then the other? They're never the same. What gives?

    Please desist from bumping threads so quickly....its only been ~6hrs since your last bump.

    But to answer your question, yes its perfectly normal for 2 different cores in a multi core cpu to run at different temperatures. It could caused by various things like variations in manufacturing process, windows making using of one particular core for more tasks than the other etc.
