8086k.. one core hot?

[aoaaron]

This is a bit weird but today I noticed when looking at my temps, one core is at 70 degrees at idle, the other is at 40... then it jumps to a different core at 68? then to a different core?

Its really weird, can't really think of a fix or reason for it .

Any help? Is this something to be worried about?

did you delid it ? if so reapply liquid metal

Maybe there's a background process running that is loading the processor, you shouldn't be getting anywhere near 70C at idle unless it's a false reading.

As already mentioned - if you delidded you may want to have look under the hood.

What are you using to check your temps - perhaps verify with a different app (Core Temp or Real Temp)

What activity is shown in Task Manager?

70 idle is bad, reset heatsink?

Is this problem definitely a single core showing as 70C?
I have the same CPU, at idle all cores showing temps of 30-33 degrees with all cores at 5Ghz.
Install HWMonitor - https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html and post a screen shot of the temps please.

Obviously 70 degrees at idle is very bad.

The question is, is it a real reading or an error? Does the heatsink feel hot when you touch it? If it hurts, then it's too hot.

What temperature does the core reach during load (if you dare try it hehehe)?
