Couple of CoreTemp questions

Gromm · 1 Dec 2007 at 21:25

I'm running an E6750 on a P5KC with the stock cooler. CoreTemp reports that the standard temp for the cores are 36C for Core #0 and 40C for Core #1. Couple of questions:

Is this normal, for the two temperatures to differ by 4C?

If I were to upgrade the cooler to a different one, what difference in temp would I expect to see?

Cheers!

if the temperatures are not the same then the cooler is not mounted straight, reseating usually helps this

Yes its normal and yes you will see a temp drop with a decent aftermarket cooler - how much depends on the cooler.

Can anyone testify to this happening? It's at 37/42 at the moment, just seems weird to me to have two cores running at fairly different temps. 1 or 2 I can understand, but 5 seems odd. But maybe it's normal.

Cheers anyway!

Twice, half its length
