When I look at my CPU temps, 3 of my cores are idling at about 30-31 Celcius. But my 4th core idles at about 24 Celcius. I don't understand what is going on. Any ideas?
I was having something similar happening, but the opposite regarding temps. My 4th core was running 8-10 degrees hoter.
When I first built my rig I used the a tear drop of thermal paste in the middle of the CPU and then I squeezed the cooler on top. Turns out I'd left a small corner of the chip without any thermal paste.
I cleaned the chip with rubbing alcohol, re-applied thermal paste using the plastic card method (for uniformity). Now my temps are the same with 1-2 degrees of difference between cores. Hope this helps.
