Hello all

Under various loads I have noticed that generally one core stay cooler than the rest or one core gets hotter.

I dont think I have a problem (or a problem that concerns me maybe more correctly haha) but would like input from my fellow peers.

This is an example of what HWinfo64 was showing when web surfing and watching videos. Real Temp shows maybe a 1c difference.

Maximum
Core#0 - 40c
Core#1 - 44c
Core#2 - 35c
Core#3 - 40c

No O/C with Hyper 412s air cooler and decent air flow.

Ambient: 18c area
Idle temps: 20-24c
Average Gaming 46-51c
Prime 95 (v26.6) 59-62c area


Thank you for taking time to read this and hope it makes sense.
 
do the cores' temps equalize (roughly) under equal full load, like Prime 95 v26.6 or Intel Extreme Testing Utility/stress test? If so, I'd not worry about it. (one core being 2C under the rest is no cause for concern...)

(Your temps for Prime95 are quite cool, IMO....; my 7700K gets ~68C....)
