i recently bought a new cpu cooler the cryorig h7 for my i5 6600k and i checked a app called coretemp and it says my temps for core0 is 25c and core 1 is 27c core 2 is 22 core 3 is 23 should core 1 be the warmest or is it all good should i worry or redo the process of applying thermal paste?? thank you
 
Solution
It's perfectly fine. All it means is that the one core is working harder than the others. There's no way to change that, it's just the way the CPU is designed. There's no need to be worried.
with any electronic hardware there always a few deg plus or minus on temp ranges. depends on the cpu core and the waffer that it was made on and the temp sensor and software used to read it. if one core was 30c or higher and the other were cold i would look into why someone was getting that weird reading.
