Why're my temperatures the same for each core?

[lifprasir]

I mean, their EXACTLY the same, as soon as one goes up, the three other one goes up simultaneously. I've used Everest, and AMD Overdrive to test this out. As for Core Temp; it only shows one core's temperature. I've also "full load'd" one core only, and yet the temperatures are still the same for everyone.. I remember just last week it wasn't like this.

Cause they're on the same chip, under the same heat spreader, less than a centimeter apart?

 

[lifprasir]

Yeah, but before they there was at least from times to time 1-2 Degrees apart, but now their always the same degree to the precision of decimals.. o_o..

That's completely normal, buddy, don't worry about that...

i presume that these "core" are on the same die package. in this case the temp will be almost the same because they are part together and share same die surface. it won't be normal when they having different temperature.

They may have been slightly different when you first fired up the system, but as the thermal paste and heatsink begin to seat and form a better bond onto the processor, and the processor "burns" its self in after several hours of initial use, I would expect core temp differences to fade away.
