Prime95 one core significantly slower

[RoloFanatic]

Hi, im not actually overclocking but since Prime95 is mainly used after overclocking i thought this was the best place to post this:

Ive just built my first PC (yeah im a noob at this) and everything seeems to have gone fine, windows 7 installed, no problems.

On the tutorial i watched to help me build my PC the guy said to run stress tests to make sure everything was as it appeared. So i downloaded Prime95 and ive only been running it for about 15 mins now but one core is only completing about half the tests that the other cores are.

Now, i dont really understand what this means, have i damaged my CPU when i was installling it? or is this normal for my CPU? ( my CPU is an AMD fx8320)

Thanks in advance, looking forward to reading your replies.

sorry stupid of me, i forgot to say; that there were no errors.

That is totally normal, The tests are not all the same therefore some take longer to complete than others. It does not mean there is anything at all wrong with your CPU.
