<div dir="ltr">I've got a ASUS P5Q Deluxe running a Intel quad core QX9550. When I display the current temperature readings I get: > sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Core 0: +44.0°C (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) coretemp-isa-0001 Core 1: +32.0°C (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) coretemp-isa-0002 Core 2: +37.0°C (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) coretemp-isa-0003 Core 3: +38.0°C (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) (plus other stuff like which fans are running, etc.) Is this expected behavior, that the four cores have different temperatures by as much as 10°C? The above temperatures were measured when I first logged in. After doing a bunch of stuff, the temperatures become: coretemp-isa-0000 Core 0: +48.0°C (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) coretemp-isa-0001 Core 1: +32.0°C (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) coretemp-isa-0002 Core 2: +37.0°C (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) coretemp-isa-0003 Core 3: +42.0°C (high = +74.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Again, different temperatures. Are the temperatures on the 4 core CPU chip really that different? Thanks, Richard </div>
