Considering that the temperature disapation around the chip would be rapid I fail to see how that will give you an accurate reading of both cores, much less any single core. I'd love to see a thermal gun, accurate enough to measure the core without being swayed by other components & your attempt at actualy pointing the gun at the actual cores located on the bottom of the chip/UNDER the heatsync will be even more entertaining.
The digital thermometer idea is even more genious. 
You work at tech support huh? Niiiice!

Wow... People amaze me. I never said they would give "better" readings. I am just curious on what I will find. The negativity in here is sickening. With this thread i just wanted the same respect and community that I got in my other threads. I found something weird. I wanted to share my findings with respectable helpful people and not a bunch of sharking trolls that like to crap on people's findings, etc... respectable?... I was wrong for coming off in some of the ways I did. At least I can admit when I am wrong. I have no problem with that. Ever. I have nothing to prove, especially to a bunch of forum people that will have no impact in my real life.
Yeah I used to manage tech support. 10 years ago. Back when we could still use our brains and weren't required to read to you off a screen. Then India happened.
And Krax... you're just not getting it. I am just playing with some interesting findings. I am not worried, and I could care less. I am happy this unit actually works. I want those temps for reference so I can get rid of the uncertainty in my head. Everest gives individual core temp and an overall temp as you surely know. I want to reference the overall temp to what I get from the heatsink itself under full load (encoding video). The digital thermometer was to see if it would register any temp as the one I am going to use will not show a number until at least 88F. No number, my exhaust is under 88F. May be stupid, but what the hell. I bet if Intel made a weird finding like this, they would test it too. The heat gun will be easy. I am not planning on shooting the core itself. I just want to get the top of the heatsink at different points, etc. Just to compare. Plus that will give me an idea of how much heat dissipates between the core and top of sink. That would be useless in the real world, but would be cool to know.
Plus I have two more 1730's and two 1710's laying around here at my shop to reference my findings to. I will be testing the other non-overheating 1730 with a T7700 as well. (Oh and yes I understand that the cores are made under different processes). Just becuase I'm bored. Plus when I put my Raid into my partner's laptop, it read the same temps for his cpu as his OS did. That eliminates my OS as being an issue.
So if you do not have anything constructive to say in this thread, please bug off. I am just trying to get to the bottom of something that shouldn't be happening and to see if my sensors are misreading. That is called troubleshooting. My troubleshooting skills have already determined that the temp programs ARE flawed as was stated many time, and as I already knew. This laptop is also registers and is physically colder than the other 2 1730's in the shop running the same load (WoW, Blobby Dancer, Firefox, background tasks). You can really notice it. Colder than the 1710's in the shop as well. And all this at 3.4Ghz.
Oh and for the mods, even after my warning and agreeing, and if I cannot speak my mind then others should not throw comments out like this one as I take quite the offense to smart arse comments like this especially with the context of the post:

And BTW Krax it's spelled genius.
