Hey guys,
recently, I`ve been closely monitoring for CPU core temperatures, and I realized that one of my cores (Core #1) always has a higher temperature, even if other cores have more workload (for example, Core #0 is working at 65% and is at 33 Celsius, and Core #1 is working at 30% and is at 39 Celsius). I know these temperature are not alarming, but I`m just wondering if there's something worng.

I have an i5-2500k, and I am using Core Temp 1.0 to monitor my CPU.

I also have the 2500k and notice this as well. This didn't happen when I had my 955 Black Edition though. Must be an Intel thing...I wonder if it has to do with the Turbo Boost. Here's a pic of mine. It randomly does this.

this happens because each core is different in some way. some have to work harder for the same power output, those cores will also put out more heat

I get similar results on my 3960K

I'm pretty satisfied with the Intel cooler I got but I'm going to add a secondary fan on the opposite side of the readiator and make it so they pull cool air from the outside to the inside.

My 2600k is the same exact way. For the most part all my cores stay within 3* C of each other.

If enough people havent said it, my 2500k is the same way :D.
