Hello !

i bought Dark Rock Pro 3 three yeras ago and use it on i7-2600k. I saw then that my temps are strnge but didn't care much about that because i didn't oc my cpu.

But 2 days ago i change cpu to i5-4690k (chill i didn't spend money on that upgrade). My next stape was OC but then i figured that after replace of MOBO and CPU temps are still weirdo.

I used other programs for reading sensor temps too but it don't change anything.

I replace whole cooler 4 times and use 3 types of thermal paste and nothing helps. I check all screws maybe 8 times.

What could be a problem here? My cooler has a manufacturing fault?

Since you did test it on two cpus now I have to tell you the way some cpu coolers are made the be quiet dark rock pro 3 you have sounds like its slightly misshapen on the cpu contact point which is kinda fine since the temps youre getting arent terrible just a little off the cooler is probably making contact with some parts of the cpu more than others causing spotty looking temps on all cores that should be fine though since all have stayed below 70c any higher and id be worried.
