i7 6700K cores too cold?? Is this normal?

You just love cooking silicon.  I'm started to get concerned about you.

Yeah. I got Lays to 90C on his custom loop with my 48k FFT shenanigans. Now he's repasting as we speak, lol.

That is like take 3 or 4 for him on the TIM.  Too funny.  You're going to drive him mad.

As mentioned before, this could all be solved if we knew your ambient room temps. 

 

What is the temperature in your room?

 

If it's less than whatever the cpu is running at then you're fine and those temps are most likely real. Also, if it's that cold you should probably put a jacket on.

My favorite thing about LTT.  Everyone's willingness to provide all the information that doesn't matter, but can't give the one thing that does.  xD

So much so this.

OP hasn't responded in awhile, he's probably busy. We should just wait.

He answered that.  It's really cold.  Isn't that all that's needed?

Agreed. However, I don't think we should just assume that there's nothing wrong and it's a reading error. Better safe than sorry, right? 

 

I didn't assume anything.  Merely stated a fact about Intel idle temps and their accuracy.

Oh, we are way beyond that point. He tried to make his ram stable. That alone was more than enough. RTL training, not even once.

I'd be all bundled up at that point. Though really cold room temps bring out the best OC's :D

Yes sir they do.  There'd be nothing nicer than starting at 10c.  Well, maybe -110c, but I'll leave that crap to @Lays who is apparently busy loosing his mind at the moment.

If he has the fan cranked up, it might be.  I got my Haswell chip right above my room temperature.

No... 10 Degrees Celsius on one of the cores, his room is definitely not 8-9 Deg. Celsius warm, that would be abnormally cold. The load temperatures also seem a little low, if your max. temps indicated in the screen shot were the temps reached during the stress test. Even with your big cooler on it...

 

@Angelo312

I'm still thinking that it's a calibration issue, and Motherboard BIOS update could fix this, however, that's definitely not guaranteed...

Yes, that's what i meant as well. Even with the fan on his Cryorig H5 cooler running at max, you won't achieve actual chip temps lower than ambient plus 1-3 celsius... heat transfer rate is dependent on the temperature differential between the heat source (CPU) and the coolant (ambient air).

My room temp is at 21ºc,  in the bios the motherboard temp is 20ºc and cpu 19ºc, always one less degree than the motherboard

And a negative difference means more heat is being pulled away than is at room temperature.

BIOS is reading temps correctly so your chip is fine.

 

Try using https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php for monitoring temps along with everything else.

Look closer bud.  That is different than what I recommended, but thanks for jumping all over that.

Well, looks completely normal to me.  Congrats!

If the room is 21C, it shouldn't be going lower, right?

CPUs will report slightly lower then ambient temps when idle some times.  The closer it gets to idle, the less accurate that temp gets.  Now something like 10c lower than actual is not great so keep that in mind.  His BIOS is reporting correctly.  He's just having issues with some monitoring software.  You can manually offset temps within most software, but it isn't worth the trouble for a casual observer so to speak.
