So I have the following...
Motherboard: Sabertooth Z77
CPU: i5 3570K
PSU: Coolermaster V850
I have a very odd reading from my CPU. I use OpenHardwareMonitor mostly because it's free, and it gives me (relatively) accurate temperatures, but one of the temperatures I get is for "CPU Package" which takes the highest of the core temps and displays it. So here's the conflict.
I monitor the CPU temperature in Bios, and the Sabertooth "Thermal Radar" feature and the CPU temperatures reads about 30-ish degrees C but when I load Open Hardware Monitor, CPU Package idles at 42 degrees C. That's ten degrees higher, and upon further inspection, I found that Core #3 idles at said 42C.
Am I just another victim of the famed "heatspreader defect" that plagues Ivy Bridge processors?
