H50, 3770k and temps?

[munkle]

I have an h50, 3770k (stock speed right now) under prime 95 it loads alittle funny. These are the temps below, do they look fine or could the cooler be mounted off since 1 core is higher than all the rest?

That's perfectly normal. My prior 3770k was almost 10c apart in core temps. Those are pretty good for an H50. You are good to bump the clocks up.

Yeah, that's normal. Though with your temps like that at load, I think it's possible I have a bad seat on my end.

Intel uses core temperature sensors that are only accurate to +/- 5C so a 10C range from hottest to coolest is completely normal. The difference can be even greater when you are a long ways away from the calibration temperature. Keep in mind that the only purpose of these sensors is to control thermal throttling and thermal shut down. At 60C, you are not anywhere near where these sensors were designed to be most accurate.

What he said. The 3rd core always seems to the hottest (I believe it's the closest core to the cache), even when de-lidded..I would recommend popping that IHS off and remounting it with some CL Liquid Pro and crank that baby up!

I have it at 4.0ghz stable on stock voltage (I don't like uping the voltage), probably going to leave it there, temps are exactly the same as above.
