Usually means you can't do maximum stress. Try defining how much ram you use to stress. IntelBurnTest is a great quick way to test an OC, both temps and stability. 10 runs is plenty.
I've lapped all my CPU's and had a varying degree of success. Sometimes I've gotten as little as 3C and sometimes I get 10C difference. Might be worth it if temperature difference between the cores is really high (ie 10C+)
Yeah one core is 30 idle while the other is 45 idle at the same time

Yeah, Alright I've decided, I'm going to stay @ 3.4, Idle temps are way too high, and Prime 95 temps are insane. Thanks for the help everybody
Re-seat the HSF. I LOAD FULL 100% at about 48C or so. Those temps are too high. Maybe even change or add some fans???
But your only @ 2.8GHz. I get the same temps as you @ 3Ghz
