Why is my 8320 doing this in P95?

If you happen to look at core #4 + #6 they are drastically behind the other cores in tests. I am OC to 4.2Ghz at 21x200 vcore 1.425v NB 1.20v VDDA 2.55v. Temps are fine socket/package. 57°C/49°C

Is this a sign of a core about to crash?

Hardware in sig.

yea, we see that all the time with FX, I really don't know the cause so I have no cure.

Some of those cores are still being given something to do in the background by applications still running and not just P95 alone. This background work can slow some of the cores. That said AMD orignally brought out the ACC function to try and give a user adjustment to try and influence what might be a slightly lesser core. ACC is not applicable to FX processors.

Also the balancing of which processor core is doing what is also a "load" and can influence cores with the overhead.

Shorter answer > slow core may-might-could indicate weak core, but there is little user adjustable wise that can be done on FX processor.

This is normal on amd and Intel. See rgone's post.

well thanks for the quick replies guys. im just glad its not my cpu going out or something bad like that. Ive seen variance before just not that bad and i saw it and got worried.
