Dual-processor oddity by cpqrst3 2007-01-25 03:41:27
Does somebody know why my dual-processor systems cpus are getting differently hot?

More explanation:
I got an old Intel Board PR440FX with two Pentium Pro 200 and passive cooling. The problem is that on of the cooler is getting noticeable more hot than the other. OS is Debian-Linux with standard 2.4.27-686-smp. I tried it also with Win2k which revealed that the former not so hot cooler is now hotter than the other one.

So does anyone knows whats the point with this?
