He says 52c idle DST Smile  Seems slightly hot.. I'm running the i7 940 at 3.8ghz on Air, and my idle temps are no higher than 45c. What's your vcore to get it to that speed??

When you guys give CPU temps with multicore CPUs, how are you deriving the number?  An average of the 4 cores, core 0 only, something else?  My i7 940 is overclocked and the 4 cores "average" at 40 degrees idle using HWMonitor to measure.
