ok soo when i idle one core on my E7200 will be as much as 10c hotter then the other
but it closes to ~5c under load

is this normal for a C2D? or did i botch my heat sink install?
ex. of temps at idle 35c core0 25c core1
then load 55c core0 and 50c core1

:confused:
 
try reapplying the thermal paste and mounting the heatsink again and see if it fixes it any... i see its quite normal for there to be a few C's difference between cores like on my Q6600 one of the cores sometimes goes about 6 C's higher than the other hottest one but 10 degrees is quite a difference.
 
Odd temperature differences like you're experiencing seem to be fairly common with Wolfdales. It's nothing to worry about. As long as your temps don't go past safe levels, a delta between the two cores doesn't really make a difference.
 
yea the hot core never gets over 55 under load :D
just wondering if i botched the heat sink install

thanks for the replys
