[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 3600 - One core significantly hotter

[Hwilliam270]

Just finished building my first pc and I was wondering about some of my core temps as one core seems quite a lot hotter than the others. The core also jumps temps very frequently sometimes from mid 40 up to 60 for a brief period. From my research its not uncommon for one core to be hotter but the difference is almost double at some points. Its a 3600 on a b450 tuf pro with a h100i v2 cooler. I did stress test it (intelburntest) for a short period and the core in question reached 76 but then the fans would go into overdrive and bring it back down to 75 whilst the other cores stayed pretty cool. As I said this is a new thing for me so if I missed out any info let me know and i'll get it to you asap. Thanks

Try reseating your CPU.

Must be wrong reading, Ryzen doesn't show per core temperature, all that could be reported is hottest core.
