Around 10 degrees difference between core and package temps on custom loop

[xHadrian]

Hey, so about a month ago I finished my first hard-line loop. However, I've noticed that there is around a 10~ degree difference between my package and core temps. I didn't really think much about it, since it was a new loop, but now 1 and a half months later it's starting to bother me. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Specs:

 

i7 5820k @stock

GTX 980 Ti @stock

240 rad

360 rad

Thermaltake Riing Fans

H440

A ~10c difference is normal.

The core temps are what you want to be mainly concerned about the package is usually the CPU as a whole or socket for ones with temp probes usually seen on the old AMD chips.

Thanks for the help, I was concerned as I remember before going hard-line that my core and package temps were the same.
