So, I just sold my old AMD rig, and I got this new one with the new Pentium that came out and I realized that while overclocking and stressing my old 8320.. it would steadily increase in temps and would stay at a consistent temperature at idle.. but for the Intel... Its just weird to me.. at idle the temps are jumpy between 27c to 32c.

I did a 10 min stress test (I know thats kind of short but its 100% usage.. usually games are a lot easier on the CPU than a stress test) and the temps bounced all over the place but the max i ever got was 63c Core 1 and 62c Core 2.. Volts are showing .95 in OCCT and are set to 1.25 in Bios..

I bought this new rig for 648$
G3258
Asus DCUII GTX 760
MSi Z97 PC mate ATX (Got a Z board because i plan on going to 4690k down the line if i keep this build)
2x4GB Crucial Ballistix sport 1600mhz
CM Seidon 120V liquid cooler (its the 49.99 one on Microcenter)
Corsair 300R
EVGA 600B
Western digital 1TB Caviar blue

So yeah I'm just now building my first Intel rig and curious as to whether this is normal for Intel compared to AMD.

My guess is that it's jumping back and forth between 1 and 2 cores being used.

Download HWInfo and run Sensors while your stressing it etc. You'll see each core being used.

And I dont know if it helps but I may have over exaggerated a bit.. When I say jump all over the place say going for like 53 to 60c instantly or like 61 down to 55 then 52

Could be temp sensor sensitivity - eg cheap mobo.

Possibly.. after i get the i5 i might start saving up again and get a good Gigabyte or Asus Z79
