Uneven CPU core temps..

[miniyazz]

Just refitted my CPU to a new shiny mobo and getting some pretty uneven core temps.. up to around 20ºC difference (25% @ 80ºC).

Is this acceptable? I've taken the HSF off and moved the thermal paste around a bit (AS5) and put it back together but to no avail.

Mobo is Asrock Extreme6 & CPU is a 4770k. Cheers

Yeah could be, interestingly the temp difference is now down to ~11ºC. Either way I've already reseated the HSF so not sure what else I could do!

Lol, think I'll give that a miss for the time being
