Mounting pressure issue?

[DreamCat04]

Hi, sorry for another question but I noticed that on my ASUS STRIX G17, if a core reaches 95 degrees, it is always core #2 and Core #4 according to CoreTemp. Since it is a six-core and assuming there really are only six cores, that would mean that there is lower mounting pressure on one fo the four corners. While these cores are at 95 where it'll throttle down, core #1 never exeeds 80 degrees and core #0 is also a bit hot. 

In this quick (and dirty) drawing I drew my processor with its cores labeled. Yellow marks the really hot cores and blue marks the really cold one. Is this a mounting pressure issue or are these two cores just not that efficient? I mean it doesn't affect my performance but I just noticed that if any core is at 95 degrees, it is always these two. De-activating them through Process Lasso for Cinebench had it reach 95 degrees for just a short time when before it would reach it at ~50-70% of the benchmark

Too much mounting pressure on bare silicon can crack it,so it's very risky...

Yeah. I know. I just wanted to ask if it would hypothetically be fixable or if it's just bad silicon lottery that I got. I don't know if I'd actually want to do it since I wouln't want to waste a 1700 dollar laptop

Both are possible,but there is also the how the thermal paste was applied that you should take into consideration.

Bad thermal paste applications are not uncommon.

It was an issue of oxidized liquid metal. Respreading fixed it and it's been running great ever since
