i7 8700k 3.7Ghz Cores

I noticed that my cores are different temps when doing certain tasks. I installed the CPUID HWMonitor to monitor these temps. If I were to do something like open up Chrome the temps would spike for a quick second and then drop down to normal. Normal temps across all cores are 28-30 and that's even for all cores. For my max..

Core 0 : 59C
Core 1: 57C
Core 2: 54C
Core 3: 58C
Core 4: 59C
Core 5: 54C

When I'm monitoring it while it is live, the core temps are all within 1-2 celsius within each other. Maybe i'll see a core or two spike up but return immediately. I tried it under heavy load or while gaming, and the temps were all in the 60s within 3-5 celsius of each other. I had trouble installing the Hyper 212 Evo Cooler on it but I got it to firmly fit on top of the CPU, no wiggle.

Is this normal for the CPU for the core temps to be spread across differently within MAX 10 celsius or no?

Thanks.

Core speeds will fluctuate faster than you can even see in task manager with varying amounts of load (and near instantaneous changes in core voltage applied), and, core temps upward/downward almost as fast...

All is normal...

Yes, that is what happens in all CPU's and it is perfectly fine. Any task that you do spreads the load across the cores in varying degrees depending on the task and each core handles the temps according to the workload it gets assigned. That is what usually happens and its what you see in monitoring softwares.
Having said that I am amazed that you are getting that kind of low temps with the Hyper Evo, specially with the 8700k.

@hellfire13 Yeah, under idle or low load my temps are 28-40C. If I’m gaming let’s say, then it’s hitting 45-60.

Those are still pretty good for that cooler. Honestly, I will not be complaining.
