i7700k and H5 Ultimate cooler Nzxt s340 case with stock fans and two intake fans.
didn't overclock
Core 0 34 current 71 max 32 avrg
core 1 32 current 74 max 30 avrg
core 2 33current 74 max 32 avrg
core 3 35 current 78 max 34 avrg
All I've done so far is play PubG Ultra settings for about 30 minutes just seeing if those temperatures seem right I know I probably could have applied thermal paste better is it weird that core 0 and core 3 have a 7 degree max difference? Also if this is all correct what temperature max numbers would mean I have a problem? Thanks
 
Solution
Yes that is normal. Mine is the same way. The CPU will throttle if it reaches 100C to prevent damage. But if you're reaching 90C with that cooler you'd likely want to check for problems or reapply thermal paste.
