Such a large spread in temps for Q6600 normal?

[Sly Fox]

I have a G0 Q6600 and the first 2 cores run 5 to 10 degrees warmer than cores 3 & 4.

I realize that all 4 cores will never all run at the exact same temp, but this seems like an awfully large difference.

Thanks!

there is a thread on in watercooling about how to mount a block for more even temps. would prob work on a screw-down HSF though not the stock crap push-down.

Ah OK, thank you.

I have a Zalman 9700, so no crappy push down plastic here

My coretemp and everest etc readings show similar results even though the temps are wrong because I'm on phase and it can't read that low. Sometimes this can be caused by a crooked mount, but I have checked 3 times to see that mine was flat. I've seen that some are closer than others. Check just to be sure, that you have full coverage on your sink.
