Quick question:

I just downloaded the trial version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition v1.70 (LOVING it!), but the temperature display confuses me; Which one is the temperature I should be concerned with for my core2quad: CPU or CPU #1-4?

I started overclocking my computer again due to games running sluggish. My temps from idle to full load for CPU is ~36-57C and for CPU #1-4 is ~49-65C.

Which temperature(s) should I be concerned with??? Why is the 'overall' CPU temp so much lower than each individual one? Sensor placement???

I actually read that article last night, great read. I understand what he said about the DTS, but I just want to know which number to actually follow :X
