I'm getting a great CPU(package) temp and decent socket temp according to HWInfo, but the ASUS EC that's sensed by HWInfo shows cores 1 & 8 temps way over limit in Prime95. Core1 10°C higher at idle and 87°C @ load, core8 5°C higher @ idle and 75°C @ load. Am I to be concerned about those two core temps or is the EC not accurate? I don't know enough how these temps are sensed to make a judgement call on this. A program called CoreTemp shows individual core temps (that never differ from core to core that I could observe) close to the HWInfo package temp and close to the CAM software CPU temp reading.
4.8 GHz at 1.44v and Ultra High LLC setting is stable in Prime95 for 20 mins minimum. I stopped the test due to the EC's core 1 temp, but the max for the package was 53°C (avg 49°C).
build(will look for build signature):
fx8370 | ASUS Sabertooth 990fx R2.0 | G.Skill Ares (4x4Gb) 2133 MHz CL9
NZXT 500i with 2 fan exhaust | NZXT Kraken72 240mm (2push & 2pull)
soon to have 3D printed VRM exhaust shroud in pull config
