Each core with a different temp?

[latief75]

i just installed my new rosewill zx3 cooler,
now there is a 3 degree differnce between the 2 cores,,,,,,

what is that ?

I've got a 2-3C difference between my two cores with a scythe mine...maybe it is normal?

same here, although the difference ain't so dramatic, I guess it has something to do with slight variations in thermal paste coverage and surface of contact with the HSF...

i did not have that on the stock cooler though,,,,

i guess this is becasue it is a tower cooler, that means that the core closer to the fan(which is on one side) will get more of the colder air first.....man this sucks...maybe i should return it...although it is so damn cool.....

i think i will try and reinstall this again, although it is a major pain.....
