Intel i5-6600k strange temperatures.

[Fenix9212]

Hey,

got strange problem with temps on my i5-6600k. Core #1 got around ~15℃ higher temperature than others.
I got ASRock Z170 Gaming K4 motherboard and Fortis 3 v2 cooler.
I did:
-update BIOS
-changed thermal paste 5 times
-and even tried another cooler from SilentiumPC.
In every case Core#1 was much warmer.

Should i leave this and dont care about it or should i send for the warrenty?

its probably not under enough load to use more than 1 core

should even out if you put more load on it

 

[Mr Kagouris]

What's the ambient temperature in your room?

 

[mcnumpty23]

and if you use core temp instead of real temp you can see what load each core is at next to each cores temperature

What's the ambient temperature in your room?

Around 22°C

and if you use core temp instead of real temp you can see what load each core is at next to each cores temperature

You are right. Core#1 load is around 90%. Its jumps from 40% to 90%.

Can i do something with this?

 

[mcnumpty23]

its just because you arent running enough stuff to put enough load on the cpu to make it use more than 1 core i would think

try a quick test in superpi

tell it to run 16m in superpi and see if all cores respond

 

[mcnumpty23]

and if superpi isnt intensive enough run the official intel cpu diagnostic software it has a section that will load it right up--though not too severely like prime95 etc

Yeah there's something wrong here. If your room is around 22C, the inside of the case will be 1-2C hotter, meaning that some of the cores are within 1-2C of the surrounding air. This is simply not possible.

 

[mcnumpty23]

they might just be guessing the ambient temp

The temps look fine under load and fairly close to one another from core to core. It's not uncommon for one core to be used more than another, higher load will cause higher temps compared to inactive cores. I wouldn't worry about it, if the temps were 15-20c off under load and one core was way hotter I might be. There's only a 6c temp variation from hottest to coolest under load.

 

[mcnumpty23]

yeah under load the difference between cores looks fine

nothing to worry about as i said under a light load it was only really utilising 1 core hence the 1 core being a lot hotter

it all looks good to me

 

[Fenix9212]

But i dont know what is the reason of that load on only one core. Everything was good for 2 months, all 4 cores got 21-25c in idle, and suddenly week ago this just happened :/

 

[Fenix9212]

Spybot Anti-Beacon was the reason of 90% load on 2nd core Can someone tell why ?
Thanks for help guys.

 

[mcnumpty23]

dont know why it would cause it i dont use spybot i use malwarebytes
