    Hi all,

    Here's a pic of HW Monitor after an hour of Total War, which can be pretty CPU demanding. My highest maximum temp was 94 on one core, and 82 on two others. It seems like a pretty big split to me; is that unusual? Is it cause for concern?

    Well it depends....run a CPU stress test that puts an even load on all cores, such as Aida, OCCT, etc. Then see if there is a big core differential. It is possible that the game is stressing one core more than others.

    Right, never thought of that. Thanks, I'll explore further.
