3600 one core running hotter than all others by about 10-12C

?

I used the rice sized drop of paste when mounting, but I had t take the block off and noticed even that much spread all the way to the edges. So, I remounted using abut 70% of a rice sized. Is it possible I didn't get correct coverage from the center of the CPU heat spread out?I'm assuming that if it didn't spread all the way to the edges, it was within 3mm. Are teh chips near the center or spread out on the Zen 2?

TIA

You didnt provide enough info here. What is the cpu doing at these temps? Idle? Are you running anything while this is happening? It may just be that its that single core handling all the computing tasks and nothing else is using the other cores. That would be my guess.

EDIT:There is only one sensor for temperature on Ryzen 3XXX cpu threads. All threads will be the same temperature. Intel it is a different story.

Also the CPU CCD is not in the center of the heat spreader. 3600 delid ,suggest change to HWInfo64 for more accurate reading of sensors.

That makes sense. Thats why the other cores are all static temps for him I guess.

Those aren't even from the CPU temp sensor. They're the sensor readings from the SuperIO chip (which may or may not be near the CPU... or even accurate).

OK thank you. I was wondering about that. I actually forgot to ask which report was for the CPU cores, and assumed all cores would be showing temps.

I see now that my assumption made me think the core temps were actually each core. Here is a better shot, and as gerard said, one temp only on down the list at Core/Tdie? Sorry, I relaly need to read up on how the Zen chips report/work Thanks for any suggestions/help.

CCD1 (Tdie) is the actual temp reported by the cpu sensor. Core (Tctl/Tdie) is the temp + offset used for controlling fans.

Thank you for that.

That's a Zen 2 chip?
