Hello

I have a i7 10700K with 8 cores, 16 threads, and I noticed while playing Flight Simulator 2020, that every single time Core 7 - Thread 1 basically fully loaded all time. (in computer's language, it means, starting the count from zero, so that would be core 8 - thread 2 in "human" language). All other cores are very lightly loaded.

Question is, the loading or temperature difference that happens on this single core all the time could shorten the lifespan of the processor somehow, since it has a high temperature difference between the other, or I'm inventing possible issues?

Thanks!
 
Solution
Not going to be an issue.

Core use is 100% due to the software that is running and how it is written.

But that won't kill the CPU.
