Well I was running a CPU intensive app (think folding but not quite) on my OC'd 4770K and now one of the cores gets way hotter under load than the rest. This only started happening after 48 hours of load with the app, not right away and didn't pop up either when I was stress testing the OC a few weeks ago.
As I've posted before, I'm running direct die with an H110. 4.5@1.35. ~78C average under load with my app before this happened. Nothing else has changed and all cores still exhibit the same temp ranges except core 3 which now goes over 100C. I've tried loosening the mount and tightening but to no effect. Core 3 idles ~3C hotter than the other cores as well.
I can't remount now since I don't have TIM handy (I took the machine to work, TIM at home).
Just curious if this is an expected side effect of pushing the CPU too hard?
