So i have a problem, atleast i think its one. So since some time, tbh since the beginning but that not drastic the temp on core 1 is higher then the rest, until they all get together at a about 70 degrees.

But since some time after my vacation(my neighbour had the key to our home and let the window open for 2 weeks my mousepad was sticky etc) the temp increased the other ones are still pretty damn low imo.
CAM doesnt show my cpu somehow not sure why.
Is there any way to find out whats wrong reapplied thermal paste 2x everything stays the same i mean the temps are really good besides that one.
Voltage just high cause its in ultimate performance mode right now, normally way lower just like that while gaming. Would love some responses greetz !

Dawid_45678,

If you click on the link that RARRAF provided - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html - you'll see the following statement in Section 4 - Core Temperature:

"Intel's specification for Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) accuracy is +/- 5°C. Although sensors are factory calibrated, deviations between the highest and lowest Cores can be up to 10°C. Sensors are more accurate at high temperatures to protect against thermal damage, but due to calibration issues such as linearity, slope and range, idle temperatures may not be very accurate."

In Section 13 - Thermal Test Idle - Results, you'll see the following statement:

"Many 45 nanometer Core 2 variants have sensors that "stick"...

Ok? how does that have anything to do with cam etc. did u even read what i wrote or did u just copypaste that link :D..

Dawid_45678,

If you click on the link that RARRAF provided - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html - you'll see the following statement in Section 4 - Core Temperature:

In Section 13 - Thermal Test Idle - Results, you'll see the following statement:

"Many 45 nanometer Core 2 variants have sensors that "stick" in the 40's showing false high idle temperatures, and some 6th Generation variants show false low idle temperatures below Ambient."

Q: What is your ambient temperature?

Based upon what you've described as well as your screenshot, it appears that Core #1 has a bad Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS), which apparently "sticks" in the 50's, similar to 45nm variants mentioned above. Intel's thermal sensors are typically very reliable, so faulty sensors are rare, but it does occur. Regardless, your screenshot clearly shows that Core #1 is out of spec with it's neighbors. Except for Core #1, if the other Cores do indeed idle below Ambient, then I would suspect that your particular CPU has a compound problem; a "sticky" DTS in Core #1 and a factory miscalibration on the other Cores.

I take that to mean when load increases sufficiently, the temperature on Core #1 begins to function normally, as deviations between highest and lowest Cores then converge to within 10°C.

Q: Regarding CAM, are you running the latest version?

CT :sol:

Thaaaanks man :) haha i didnt have the time to read through all of it sadly, but you just made it pretty damn clear ! & and yeah im using the latest version of cam its weird. Im not really a computer specialist can build my own rig and oc and stuff, but yeah my knowledge pretty much ends there :D !
