Hello all first time poster here hope you guys can help.
I Recently built my first computer with a 500$ budget for gaming.
My build,
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
I5-3550 Ivy bridge 3.3Ghz (3.7Ghz turbo)
ASRock H77M LGA 1155 Intel
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 550W ATX12V V2.3
COOLER MASTER Elite 335 Case.
Arctic silver 5
Now my question is, i have been monitoring my Cpu's Core temps and 2 of the cores run slightly more hot. Averages of each processor idle is around 22-28 for two of the processors and the other two 30-36. Under load none of them i have seen go over 55c.
I have stock cooling but used arctic silver compound and removed the compound that was on the Stock fan cooler. I'm thinking maybe i didn't get full coverage over the processors?
I used the guide for the processor from Arctic silver to apply it. The build was completed yesterday so its been running fine and stable i'm just concerned on the temp difference.
