I just installed my new i5 6600k, and decided to run a few benchmarks/stress tests (haven't overclocked anything yet). I have a 212 EVO, using MX-4 paste.
I noticed there seems to be a consistent temperature difference between cores, partcularly between cores 1 and 3. Core 1 is the hottest, 0 and 2 a little cooler, and then 3 is the coolest. Running P95 v26.6 small FFTs, core 3 is consistently 8-10°C cooler than core 1.
Now, I know some difference is expected, due to varying core loading and sensor error, but I figured something like P95 would be a pretty consistent load across all cores. Is ~10 C temp difference normal? Is it worth repasting? I admit I ended up fiddling with the cooler to line up the screw holes after I placed it, think I lifted it up slightly once or twice, maybe some bubbles got in.
Edit: max temps for each core running P95 after about 10-15 min are 53/57/52/48.
