Hello all,

my cpu is intel q9550 and there is a weird temp reading from one of my core

the temp on core 0 is always about 5 to 8 deg. Celsius higher than the other 3 cores
no matter whether the cpu is idle or loaded

is this a problem with the TJ sensor on core 0?

thanks
 
I wouldnt say that much is normal. Generally on c2q/duo, 4c is about the maximum between cores. If you are pushing 8c between the cores, Id say that theres a possibility that your heatsink isnt seated properly.

Are you using push-pins for the heatsink? If so, maybe try reseating them. One of the corners could be loose.
