Core Temps

i run speccy about once a day just to check the temp of my cpu,

is it normal for different cores to be different temps?

i find that core 0 is always hottest, while core 2 is always coolest,

cores 1 and 3 always in between the two,

the difference from hottest to coolest is normally around 5-6 degrees C

Mine differ.

You've essentially answered your own question.   Your system is, I gather, running perfectly normally.   On the vast majority of checks the core temperatures vary from one another and in a fairly consistent way.

This, in and of itself, defines "typical"/"normal" for your system.

A great deal of this depends on how tasks get spread among the cores, and it's not unusual for a specific core to be first choice, another to be second, etc.

thanks....yes its running perfect, i just built the system myself,

average cpu temp seems to be 35-40 C

And temps that low qualify as "virtually cold."

You're just fine.

thanks....good to know.....i took a lot of time and was a bit obsessive when cleaning the cpu / heatsink mating surfaces....and applying thermal paste

Yes its normal, as different cores sometimes take on different loads.
