First Off, I just finished reseating my Cooler with Artic Silver 5 and immediately, I noticed a 9C drop across all cores when running IBT. The thermal compound has not really been broken in, so hopefully it drops more. I think inititally, i had had too much compound on there. I'm not really sure how much the Arctic Silver made a difference.

Now, my question is that I still have a significant difference in temps bewteen the cores. It is roughly the same difference as it was before my reseating.

Min Temps: 27/27/25/22
Max Temps: 72/79/77/74

Is this normal with an i5-2500k? It seems that core 2 and 3 are always a bit higher than 1 and 4. The numbers are not so dramatic when runnign prime95.

Specs:
Ambient Temp ~ 21C

This is perfectly normal. Your temps won't drop much more (normally 1-3c) after the burn-in time required with Artic Silver 5. At least that's from my experience with AS5!
