Chipset vs Core Temp?

[DarkEnergy]

Why does the Chipset have a much higher temperature than the CPU itself? I fired up minecraft to give a better demonstration.

Because it's cooled worse

Most likely to awful or even non existent heatsinks

I'm assuming you're using a laptop. The chipset is not likely to be cooled by copper heatpipes and thermal paste. Instead it will by on a chunk of metal attached to the heatsink using a thermal pad as a medium to transfer heat across. So therefore, it does not get the same level of cooling as the CPU.

Which Dell laptop is it? 

 

Dell tend to have heating issues.

I would go with awful heatsinks. It's always run hot even though it's clean.

You would be right. I think only the CPU get's the Copper pipe treatment. I've replaced the thermal pads and thermal paste myself.

E6400

I have the E6410. It has bad cooling. Keeps overheating. REALLY slow HDD. Not going to get an SSD for it because it's not worth it tbh.
