    Default Difference between core temps

    I have a 3610qm in a Sager NP9150 and there is almost a 10 degree Celsius difference between some of the cores. Why is there such a large difference between these cores? Is this a cause for concern?

    Core 0 Current: 31 Max: 64
    Core 1 Current: 32 Max: 63
    Core 2 Current: 38 Max: 68
    Core 3 Current: 40 Max: 68

    Nah not really, not while it's idling like that. Only a situation like that while the CPU is under load should there be cause for concern.

    Almost every cpu I've had has been like this. Some of them it's a few C, others up to 10C. Nothing to worry about at all.

    Default Re: Difference between core temps

    Windows parks a few of the core when idling or under light load (currently 4 threads are parked), and that is why some cores are cooler. Two of my cores are usually 5C-10C hotter than the cooler two.
