Hey all, i have just finished my build in my sig. My cpu has one core running much hotter than the other three. While running idle on desk top 3 cores are 22ish degrees while core 3 is at 30+ degs. Is this likely to be a thermal paste issue or does this cup do that kind of thing?

More than that, idle temps are never accurate anyway. It's probably close to 22c ambient in your room for example.

It's probably core 0 which is always being used that is getting hotter. Mine always runs a few degrees hotter than the others.
