Quick cooling question...

[Kaldorine]

I got a 3570k OCed to 4ghz under a Thermaltake CLS The temps are good. My room always a freezer with the AC on (around 70). But i'm running both Core Temp and HW monitor and my cores have drastically different temps. Core 3 runs at 30c while core 2 runs at 42c and Core 0 runs at 39c and Core 1 runs @ 32c. Is this normal for a Ivy Bridge? Or should i remount my cooler and use a better thermal paste?


Thanks

Its fine.

Its fine.

So that's normal? Any articles that explain why? Is it just something with IB that does that? I used to have Q6600 years ago and don't remember it havin such a temp range. Thanks.

At idle, your OC doesn't matter since it downclocks the same at idle.

What's Thermaltake CLS? Never heard, google doesn't find anything

It's normal to have differing core temps. As far as I know, a 5C difference is more typical than a 10C difference, and I've read about core 3 in particular being hotter than the others. I guess your temps looks slightly unusual, but I wouldn't worry.
