Palmdalien Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I have an I7-950 with a Cooler Master Hyper N520 mounted on an ASUS Rampage III Formula board. I am not overclocking the CPU as of yet, sitting at idle using Real Temp 3.60 ( if there is a better program out there please suggest it), the core temps are (in order 1-4): 31C, 24C, 33C, 25C. Is it normal for then to do that or is something up with the way I might have put the cooler and or thermal paste on the CPU causing the diff in temps like that???

El_Capitan Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Just as long as the logged Min/Max are relatively the same, it's fine. They'll jump around a bit. Here's mine: Min = 37, 36, 38, 33 Max = 56, 53, 53, 52 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's mine: Min = 37, 36, 38, 33 Max = 56, 53, 53, 52 The logged core temps as well as monitoring them during benchmarking, 2 and 4 stay at about that same 5-10 degree diff lower than 1 and 3 Min = 31, 24, 33, 25 Max = 43, 36, 45, 37 My main concern is if this will affect me in the future when doing any OC to get better performance for any games or programs that need it.
