i5-6300HQ exceeds 90 degrees in game

Hi all, I have an Asus Rog with configuration i5-6300HQ + GTX 960M and 16GB Ram, I expect that up to a few months ago while playing CPU temperatures were always ok, they always set around 80-85 degrees. But lately I do not know if it depends on why you started the hot season, but while the game I noticed that the second CPU core ever reaches or exceeds 90 degrees, while the three remaining core are always stable between 80-85 degrees.

What I wonder, is something normal or there is something disturbing that wrong? I am looking forward to a reply as soon as possible, greetings.

Hello Nikola87,

The behavior your reporting seems fine, in fact it is expected that one core runs hotter that the others, see here;/thread/21417 https://communities.intel.com/thread/21417 post # 1, I am pretty sure that this will give you a better understanding. Also, bear in mind that the TJUNCTION for your processor is 100°C and this means that any number below this parameter is considered as normal specially while gaming which is a CPU intensive task.

Regards,
