The title says it all and so far so good. Everything installed beautifully. The processor seems to run a lot cooler than it did on my previous Z77. Not sure if the mobo has anything to do with that, probably not. However, my only concern is that Cores 0, 1, and 2 are all around 26C to 28C, but core 3 is staying around 40C to 42C. Is this normal and is there anything that I can try to get it close to the others? Thanks for any input.

Which program are you using to measure your CPU temperatures? Which heatsink are you using and which method did you use to apply the thermal compound?

Thank you for the reply. I am using CoreTemp for my monitoring. I am using the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro. I used the credit card method for spreading the thermal compound.

Please remount your TT Water 2.0 Pro using the dot/pea/bean/etc... method. Don't forget to clean the heatspredder and CPU block thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol before reapplying the thermal compound.

There may be some variation between the cores. Normally you will have one core that will be +-8'c different than the other three. But certainly not 20 odd degrees.

Remount and pay attention to how you secure the cooler. One or two turns per corner and then rotate. Keep doing that until the cooler is finger tight. No more than that.

Indeed windows will always use one core more then the other. My question is what thermal compound are you using? Can you take a picture of the block and cpu, once you remove it and post it for us?

I am using Antec Formula 7. Will take some pics. The core that is reading the high temp is not the core with the higher usage percentage. Is that odd?

As has been suggested your heat sink mounting is not perfect.

Ok, I used the pea-size method and very meticulously tightened the heat-sink focusing on not tightening one side any more than the others until all were tight. Fired it up and the numbers are exactly the same. Cores 0,1, and 2 are 24-28 while core 3 is 38-42. I am going to put it under load and see what the temps do. Thanks to all that have replied. Thinking maybe it is sand paper time?

this may or may not help but can you check for any bent pin on the cpu socket?
