Core @ Different Temps ?

[MarkeR]

Hey guys

Run an Antec 620 on my i5. While I am running any bench mark test, I notice that core 0 and usually core 3 are around 10c below cores 1 and 2!

This is my first time running intel, i'm pretty sure this shouldn't be happening, but does anyone have an idea why, or even better a fix ..

Thanks

Don't worry about it, upto 10 degrees is fine.

When running stress tests I always fine core 1 is by far the hottest, but another core is hotter in games.

I have never really paid attention to the differnce in temp between cores, but i am pretty sure 10 degrees at times is normal. If one core is always 10 degrees hotter than the other then that is a bit different.

Thanks for the answers guys!!

Yeah core 0 is always at least 9c or 10c below core 1 and 2, with core 3 being usually 6c -> 9c below!

Maybe my cooler needing reseated?

Yeah, the difference between 0 and 1 is always the biggest when stress testing. I really wouldn't worry about it.

You could reseat the cooler, but I think it is a waste of half an hour personally, unless you have some better TIM to add or something.

Using IC7 - Diamond tim just now, cant think of any better TIM to be honest

Ah well, best stop checking my core temps all the time then, has became a habit lately
