G'day all!
After 2 months and 2 returns I've finall got a working motherboard. I've started working on the OC for my i7 again with stability at 4.2 ghz. What I have noticed is the first core runs between 5-11 degrees warmer than all of the other cores. Is this normal, or should I be looking at something like reappling the thermal compound?
To give you an idea of my situation, core 1 runs at 80 during OCCT while the others are 73, 75 and 69. These temps come from RealTemp 3.00.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that when it is idle the temps are 45, 39, 45, 39 (I have a relatively high ambient temp)
