I'm trying to figure this one out. I'm guessing it's poor case cooling, because there's no intake fan in the case, but bear with me.
Got a G3258 / GA-H81M-DS2V combo. In a Topower case with an Antec Earthwatts PSU (top-mounted). Case has an exhaust fan. Currently has side off, in a desk cubby.
Cooler is the copper-cored stock Intel 1150 heatsink. Supposedly it's good for 95W.
According to CoreTemp RC6 in Win7 64-bit, running PrimeGrid on both cores, and Einstein@home on a 7790 1GB (51C according to GPU-Z), the CPU reaches temps of 80C on Core 0, and 70C on Core 1. The 10C difference is consistent. Power usage is 60.1W.
How come, a heatsink designed to dissapate 95W, is getting to 80-81C on one core, if the CPU is only using 60W?
