I have just upgraded my old i7 920 to a 5820K, and running some tests. The old CPU had a maximum temperature difference of 5c between cores, while i'm getting the following results when running OCCT test on the new CPU (min and max temps):
Core0 26c 61c
Core1 22c 59c
Core2 23c 67c
Core3 24c 62c
Core4 23c 63c
Core5 26c 61c
Notice core2 running 8C hotter than Core1 under load. Is this a good/acceptable difference, or should I bother to reseat the cooler (it's a bit of a pain in the... trying to match the screws while holding it still, without smearing the thermal paste all over the place).
I don't know wether or not this is a good result or not. Certainly a bit worse than the old CPU, but there are two more cores as well. I think the temps are pretty good otherwise (though i'm running it with large data packets and only 10 mins so far), considering it's running at 4,4Ghz with 1,9V Vcore.
