i7-4790k core 0 temps

[RPh ChemE]

Good day.

I have these:
i7-4790k (Stock/No OC)
Corsair H105 [Configured as Exhaust on Top portion of case]
Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Paste
Mobo is Gigabyte G1-Sniper B5

Case has adequate Airflow. I opened the side panel of the case before observing this problem/issue so that airflow is not an issue.

Ok here it is: AT "IDLE", is it normal for a water-cooled-stock clocked-i7 4790k, to have a core 0 temp which is 5-6 degrees HIGHER than the other cores. For example: 40 34 34 33 / 39 34 34 35 constant. My load temps when playing dota 2 for 30 min is 55 54 52 50. Is that normal for an a H105?

Ambient is 30 degs C.

Sounds perfectly normal. My core 1 sits like 2-4 degrees higher than the rest always.

What's your load/gaming temps bro? i have 55 54 52 50 under H105 cpu cooler. 30 deg C ambient

I have an air cooler that is about equivalent to an h100i in performance. I get 50-54c or so under gaming load. I'm overclocked from 3.4 to 4.5 though.

what is your ambient temp? do you live in a tropical country?

No, My ambient temps are 22c. I live in the USA.

For 30c ambient temps, your temps sound fine.

Ok. I read about this thing called the Vcore and the Core VIN ang the K-OC options being changed? They said that some mobos are altering the voltage too much. I checked mine. My Vcore is adaptive, it's set at 1.135 yet when i open cpuz it hovers around 0.7xx(low frequency) to 1.2195v(which is where 4389mhz clock appears but just for a second). My Core VIN(is set as 1.8 as default). My K-OC option is enabled. And all other things like C3 states C6/C7 and EIST are set as AUTO. I won't touch these settings yet until some expert will verify that changing theses things will lower temps or lessen 1 second fluctuations in core temperatures. Anyway, thanks for your comments.

And another thing. Why can't i reach the 4400 turbo clocks. it always says 4389.xx max. CPUZ says my baseclock is 99.76mhz with an (8-44) multiplier though. Is this the reason?

you will never get exactly the 4400 number. being a few mhz off is 100% normal. For example I am overclocked at 4.5ghz in the BIOS but it sits at 4495mhz.

Your voltage and power settings all look perfectly normal.

Nothing is wrong here.
