Intel Core i3-550 cores temperature issue

[idata]

Hello,everyone

I have a question regarding my processor: no matter if processor is idle or loaded, temperature on two cores of this processor is different all the time an the difference is always constant about 10-12 degrees celcius. For example core # 1 = 35 degC and core # 2 = 45 degC.

So here is my question: is it normal at all and what is the reason for that.

Thanks in advance for your answers and ideas.

Yes it is totally normal to see 2 cores running at a different temperature, so you do not need to worry about it.

You only need to pay attention to the CPU temperature itself, but not to the cores temperature.

You can ask the motherboard manufacturer to provide you monitoring software to monitor the CPU temperature.
