Will this work, and be worth it?

Is that using HW Monitor?

Im using RealTemp and HW Monitor and my Ivy i5 not overclocked using Stulid's paste is idling at 30 degrees roughly. Though I cant see cores 3 and 4 as they dont show up

EDIT:

Got it to work in RealTemp. 33 degrees on all cores max at 5% CPU usage.

Strange, have you tried Core Temp?

Just for the OP reference my idle temps sit around 25-30C on one of the large Phanteks coolers.

I would also expect your to drop a little once the thermal paste beds in.

Nah but as HW Monitor and RealTemp are identical I wouldn't have though they would have been out? Can try if you want.

Also thats using the stock Heatsink like the OP. I think 38 degrees is a bit high but that could be due to the monitor reading incorrectly? air flow in case, the standard thermal paste etc

Running prime atm and temps as follows

core 0 55c, core 1 62c, core 2 65c, core 3 62c.

And yes I appreciate this is stock cooler. But temps sitting are around 10c difference between core 0 and core 3 are a tad wacky imo.

I was thinking more that it might show those missing cores.

Running prime atm and temps as follows

core 0 55c, core 1 62c, core 2 65c, core 3 62c.

Those load temps don't seem bad, although i'm not sure what they should be.

As Stulid says above you should expect some variance in temps between all four cores. I get around a 7C difference across mine when using Prime 95.

Ignore.
