weird temps on i5-3570

[Lord Tumnas]

hey guys,
my i5-3570 is getting some weird temps, my third core is about 8oC higher than the rest of the cores at idle and when running prime95 large-FTT's i get:
core 1: 53
core 2: 59
core 3: 62
core 4: 56
is this 10oC difference in temps between cores normal?

its running at 3.4GHZ with 3.8GHZ turbo under a hyper 212 evo on the AsRock Pro3M (B75)
adjusting the fan sped from the lowest it will allow all the way up to the highest (actually alot of differenc judging by noise) there is a 1oC increase on all cores...

I believe its normal.

What are you using to monitor your temps?

It is very normal for one core to be upto around 10°C hotter than the other cores. This is due to it placement in the middle of the other cores and the distance from areas to bleed off heat.

im using real temp V3.7, i believe its reliable

Thankyou for that!

I have a 3570k and my second core always runs hotter than the other 3.
