Do you know why?

Hi there, this is my first post and i'm not sure if i should do a presentation or something, sooo... here we go.

Well I have an i5 2500k... yehh a good beast, 4 cores & 4 threads, with a little oc to 5gh, man it works pretty good, i've been looking and more or less it can play with some ryzens (in games of course, in multitasks, i just can grab a cigg and watch how he humiliates me...), yeh i know the others don't use oc and that i know, but mine is 8 years old... not bad at all.

Well the point is, i have the oc to 5gh stable and the temps (in "lazy" mode) are around 35-37, in full power total maximum total hits the 83º-85, pretty hot yeh... i cook the breakfast there..., BUT, only in the cores 1 & 2, the 0 & 3 are ALWAYS less than the middle's one's... that's what i'm asking... Do you know why?

hmmm, i'll try to replace it and by the way i'll clean this bad girl, thanks man

and they all work at 100% during the work

Usually i keep an eye on the hole pc, you know, try to keep it clean, and working properly and now the time to a clean deep has come so... by the way i'll have a look at the procesator to check if it was placed good and that, thanks guys, but still with the question haha

Well could be, but i think that the hig temp's are because i'm pushing the cpu with 1.6V...

1.6v is very high for that CPU, even for a "Doyll approved AIO".

The "middle" two cores heat up more because they each have two neighbouring cores so will naturally get hotter than the two outer cores (which only have one neighouring core).

haha yehh, it's pretty high... but the cpu still handle it, since a few years ago... this cpu it's massive!

and man, that answer makes a lot of sense, thanks for your answer man

You're welcome, buddy. I hope you've taken precautions - quarter-inch steel plate under your PC should prevent meltdown.

haha nahh, i just put the computer under a pan and i can use it to cook and warm myself

haha, let's see how long it lasts, i believe in her!!

by the way, there is a benchmark i did to... you know, to prove it and that, there is not the voltage... is not that deep, you will have to trust me haha.

Some CPUs are surprisingly resilient to voltage - not that I'd push them too far if I was concerned about replacing or recommend anyone did it normally but I ran a Q6600 under water at the max possible voltage table for like 2 years or something of 24x7 use fine then my dad used it (at stock voltage) until recently when I replaced his system.

What tends to kill them in my experience is if you push things like VTT too far.

man you know, it's pretty old, it's a fighter, this cpu MUST fight until he dies, as a warrior... fighting.
