big temp diff on cores?

[czepluch]

Hi.

I've got the E8400 and there is constantly a temperature difference between 4C to 12C . The big differences is when I stress my CPU. Is that normal?

its called idle and load temps.

idle is when your at the desktop and there is nothing running. load is when your doin something that puts a lot of stress on the computer.

temps weill vary a lot. 4 - 12oC is nothing to worry about. when mine is idle its at 25-30oC on different cores.
core 1 25
core 2 27
core 3 25
core 4 32

its nothing to worry about. if you want you could re-apply thermal paste.

whats your temps go up to?

When I run everest stability test I get a max temps of 62C on core #2 and 53C on core #1 CPU temps is at 39C.

I'm usin RealTemp because I've heard it is more reliable on the E8400

Thats not what he's talking about, theres no way he would be getting temps of 4-12C.

What he is saying is that there is a 4-12C difference between the core temps. That is normal, the reason is because Core 0 is what does most of the work, so if you are only running a single-threaded CPU intensive program, then one core is going to have a much higher temperature.

Generally, the first two cores are the ones that will have the higher temperature.

It's probably because Everest isn't made fore dual cores, so only one of your core is being stressed. Try running Orthos, it's actually made for dual cores.

i know. think i worded myself wrong in my post.

lack of sleep and heavy drink doesnt help.

i knew he meant that his core's have a difference of 4 - 12.
thats why i posted mine.
