need help with i7 7700 temp

[Maozi]

hello

 

any1 has any idea why Core #4 has always higher temp than other cores?

sometimes it goes up to 84C, when CPU usage is 100% while gaming

 

i have Asus prime z270-k, i7 7700 turbo boost to 4.2GHz, EVGA CLC 120 liquid cooler

That’s because of the toothpaste Intel uses between the actual CPU Die and the IHS.

Don‘t worry about it, temps are still fine.

it's not just core no.4 but all the cores behave similarly as the calculations/operations jump between cores from time to time and the temperature would spike momentarily if that particular core uses more current than the others.. this phenomena is normal for any processor that uses hyper-threading technology.. in my case it's core no.3 that shoots up to 44C during idle but in less than a second it'll go back to 38C
