Cores 3-5 Reaching higher temps than average on a delided i5 8600k

I just wanted to check if anyone else was having a thermal issue with the 8600k where cores 3-5 (especially 3) showed higher temperatures than cores 0-3, since my core 3 almost was 20 degrees celcius higher than the other cores while under load

I had my i5 8600k Delided by a reputable delider on eBay (Asked him if he was certain he covered the whole die, and he said he was), Even changed the thermal paste on the CPU twice with Arctic MX4 and Noctua NH H1, with my Noctua U9S (x2 92mm Fans)

Interesting.
I think it is normal to see some difference in temperatures, but nowhere near what you are seeing.
I just did a cpu-z stress test on my delidded 8600K running @4.7
HWmonitor shows temperatures between 66c. and 68c.

I bought my chip from silicon lottery who also has a delid service.
They charge $40. You might want to have it redone.

Decided to get it re-delided by the same guy, since he's willing to do it free (Cost me £20 the first time + shipping)
