Well, just look at it, it says my 2ghz instead of 2,66.. And I also think the temp is a bit off, 200C, that can't be right, when I open my case theres nothing but cool air coming out... Also there isnothing burning around my cpu.. Oh and my mainboard is supposed to be 255C... HELL NOES! Well just look at the screeny I made, cause in one pic it says core 1 is 9C en core 2 is 10C.. So wtf is this shit, should I be woried?

haha dude, don't sweat it

SpeedFan tells me my Ambeint temp is 500C

Don't worry, alot of programs give wrong readings. I have never got that problem with PC Wizard, so maybe try reinstalling it?

PC Wizard 2007 is a great program

If the processor is idle, it'll have a lower frequency. My C2D E6300 drops the multiplier down to x6.0 when it's idle, dropping the core speed to around 1.6GHz. When I put some load on the CPU it raises the multiplier to x7.0, so the core speed goes to 1.8GHz. That's just the speedstep stuff in Intel's processors, it saves power. Nothing to worry about.

The temp reading is probably software-related. That's not a problem unless you need to monitor your temps (like when overclocking). Maybe you should try some other programs to see if it's just a glitch in the program.

A couple of degrees difference in temperature between cores is normal.

Pfoe, thanks for explaining guys.
