Q6600 & SOB Performance Question

[meep]

Quick question I am sure someone can help me with...

Running a Q6600 (stock everything at the moment), with 4 SOB clients, no affinity so 1 core each.

Strangely, 2 cores running at 3.2'ish cEMs/sec and the other 2 at 2.5'ish...

coretemp reports that 2 cores are certainly warmer than the other 2, indicating they are the cores working harder.

Any ideas why?

Male and Female maybe

Done more testing and more tweaking, without spotting any obvious, the difference is consistent during clocking:



Clues?

I'll give you a clue.
Look at the size of the K

Penny dropped yet

Yer noticed that before, but would that skew performance like that?

Edit:

Stubborn things to get rid of arent they, reinstalled with diff DIR and client 2 picked up a new K - but Client 3 stuck with 10223.

Speeds are still not level, now it has levelled out at 2.8 / 3.1 / 3.2 and 4.1

This app is truely a pain in the arse, flushed cache by changing ID to a temp one and back again, released the duplicate K, then what does it do, goes and gets the same K as another client... excellent - now it will not flush and retrieve a new 1....
