Just 2 Cores Overheating

[dnf]

Hi! So just randomly one day I noticed how two of my cores would start overheating... I have no idea what happend.

In the screenshot the cpu had been idling for 20 mins after I played Cities Skylines for 1 hour.

First time you've checked, or was it moar balanced before. Also, you could check your thermal paste, but I wonder if it's an actual problem.

I wouldn't call that overheating.

90c+ is overheating. If you get 80c or above you should consider it a problem. Under that, especially while/after running a game or heavy software, It's not an issue.

Yes but the processor i f***** idling. 60c is not normal when idling.

It was more balanced before. Before all of the cores was around 40c.

When was the last time you cleaned your CPU cooler? When was the last time you replaced the thermal paste? Pics maybe so we can have a bit of fun and amazement?

What are the temps when gaming/3d rendering?

Just stress tested the CPU for 5 mins and it sits around 70c.

I'm sure to fix that when I have money to buy some compressed air. I know its a bit dusty and reapplying thermal paste sound like a good idea. After all its OEM thermal paste.

Actually thats about normal idle temp forC2Q. More so since you are running it with stock cooler (or Acer SHIT as you have put it). My Q6600 was idling at 45C with U9B and had normal light load temp of 54C.

 

Besides, according to pic CPU isn't idling. If it was, the green bar wouldn't be half full. Another besides. Its normal for one core to be higher than others. OS allocates load to cores diffirently if software themselves don't support multi-core.

Actually after cleaning the CPU cooler the fan dosent sound like 3 lawnmowers and the temps are lower.
