Hello, i have a question about my intel cpu temp's. I Have a Noctua D-14 cooler installed with Nt-thermal paste. i put a vertical line down the cpu. Seated the cooler tight. At idle my temp's are steady at 33c - 34c. Are they suppose to be all the same temp's on all cores? I thought they were to fluctuate between the core's.

It is usually more common to see the temperature fluctuating between cores, but the fact that all cores have same temperature it also considered expected behavior, so there is no reason to worry about.

Keep in mind that you only need to pay attention to the CPU temperature, no need to pay attention to the cores temperature.

As long as the CPU temperature does not reaches 72.6 degrees Celsius, the CPU will be running under thermal specifications.
