easiest explanation may be that one of the HSF's is not perfectly level on the cpu...or the fan is running at a lower rpm for some reason...

what are you using to monitor the temps? if MBM 5.0, make sure you have the correct temp sensor(s) selected for each cpu.

If SETI runs correctly on both CPU's, both should show 100% cause SETI eats every available CPU cycle.

yup...what doc said also. go into task manager and right-click on each seti instance...set the cpu affinity to only 1 cpu for each seti.
