Lmao.. I don't understand where you get this idea that the cores of a cpu can be such different in temperature? How is it even possible? They all get the same voltage sent to them. To get a 20c drop in temp the voltage can't be as high as the 70c temperature core. You must be loopy!

They are under different loads so they have a different temp.

Different load, improper mounting, improper spread of paste, etc. No point in arguing with someone who hasn't taken physics 101. I'll leave it to you.

Dude i think your a troll, or just really dumb, you should not post in tech support it you don't know skyR is right.

The 77c is your cpu temperature and the 50c I presume is your motherboard temperature. Your max cpu temp is 71c so it is a little hot. Are you running stock cooler? Maybe you dont have your cooler seated right and could be causing extra temperature.

Please explain to me.


If one core is active and executing a lot of instructions, then a lot of high-performance transistors will be switched on, hence you get a lot more current flowing in that core. More current at a given voltage and you get more power consumed, and then lost somewhere as heat. You pretty much only get leakage current in idle cores--and in newer processors with power gating, that amount is drastically reduced even further.

You're very mistaken if you're only looking at the voltage being applied. Think about where the heat comes from.

Your CPU temps look fine. As long as you aren't hitting your TJ Max.

It might be something else that's overheating, assuming it is an overheating issue.

Are you positive it is something that's overheating?

First of all, take your argument of electricity somewhere else please, I'm trying to fix a problem here.
Second, really? Because I checked my BSOD and it looks fine.

I don't think that's a good attitude for somebody asking advice, putting minimal effort into the OP, and then crapping all over the thread twice with huge irrelevant logs and expecting people to hunt through them.

If it is overheating, Might be your video card, cause... you're playing @ 1280 x 1024, which is a rather low low resolution. And for your GPU to be @ 73c is quite T_T

If you do believe things are overheating, clean out your fans. If you believe its your CPU, remove/reapply TIM and reseat the heatsink.

I think homedude who doesn't get thermodynamics is a troll account made with the intent of getting into the hall of shame. Or an idiot. Lets vigilante moderate this shit and call him names and poke him with sticks till he leaves.

Hmm okay. So to clarify, if it is my video card, increase resolution and/or quality?

And yeah, I'll clean out my fans and remove/reapply TIM.

No, don't increase the resolution or quality.

If your GPU is hitting 73c @ 1280 x 1024, the temps will be even higher at higher resolutions

Okay... I'll clean out my fans and do some stuff and I'll update this thread when I do.
