Hi All,

I've got a i5 3570K and at idle, core 1, 2 and 4 runs around 20c (+/- 2c each core) but core 3 runs around 8-9c... when I start stressing though, all cores hit around 50-55c no big difference between cores, only at idle... any ideas?

I'm using a Corsair H80i closed loop liquid cooler... (stock TIM)

My 4670k is under a H100i and I find core 2 to be the cooler one by 3-4 degrees.. I believe it isn't so much a temperature problem as it is just variations in CPUs, similar to how some CPUs overclock better than others despite being the same chip.
