Cpu temps

[JPavao92]

Is it normal for temps on 3 cores to be pretty much the same at idle and the 4th core be about 7 degrees celcius hotter on an i5-2400? Im not worried cause the hotter core is at 47 ish while the other 3 around 40. Under load its about 65 Celsius while the other 3 cores fluctuate between 58 and 60. Possibly Thermal paste prob?

the first 3 cores stay pretty much the same under load as well with the 4th being the outlier

what software are you using to measure these numbers, try a different software then see if its the same

intel Extreme Utility, what should i use aida64 extreme doesnt show me cpu temps for some reason

speedfan has the same temps

Core Temp could be another alternative to viewing individual core temperatures. The easiest possible solution COULD be a reapplication of TIM. You're right about that. There may not have been enough paste and it didn't cover a small portion of the CPU. Or there could be a tiny pocket of air. If you're unsure, watch a youtube video that describes the Pea Method, or the cooked grain of rice method when applying TIM and give it a shot.

 

I'm trying to think of a way to benchmark each individual core separately to see if they all perform the same, but it's too early for my brain to function properly. Let's hope one of the cores isn't simply showing signs of failure.

I did just change the thermal paste about 2 weeks ago, the temps decreased a good chunk not that they were too bad before either but i didnt start monitoring individual core temps until after so i dont know how it was before. i havent had issues applying tim unless like you said its an air bubble ill have to order some more so i can try again. im using arctic mx-4
