Intel agreed to swap the chip so if its still the same then it's just a disappointing cooler! haha

Well I dunno if my temps are still that high then there's nothing I can do about it but if anyone's interested I can post an update. Wouldn't be too bothered tho, hopefully my replacement chip will overclock better

I'd love to know how the swap goes. It'll give us a pretty good look on how (bad) that cooler is.

Sorry for bumping this thread but it seems I cannot send PMs since I am new, so I have to bump this thread instead. I was looking for clues online regarding the issue I have with my cooler (the same Thermalright True Spirit Power 140) until I came across this topic. Assuming that El_Mayo is still around, can you tell us what happened after you got your CPU replacement?

I have bought the same cooler for my i7-5820k but my temps are no way nearly as good as they should be; they are much better than El_Mayo's but I am experiencing this strange situation in which under full load, half of my CPU is up to 13 degrees warmer than the other half which doesn't make sense whatsoever. I have reseated the cooler once and reapplied thermal paste (I am using GELID GC-Extreme which is a pretty high-end thermal paste) and during doing so, I noticed a similar paste distribution to what was reported here; as in, parts of my CPU was not even covered by the paste. The second time I made sure to apply enough paste and in a different configuration to make sure the whole CPU surface will be covered but it didn't make much difference; even though my temps are slightly lower now, the 10-13 degree difference (on full load with prime95) between my odd-numbered and even-numbered cores stayed the same. Any ideas? I am wondering whether it is the cooler not sitting properly on the CPU surface or I got a half-broken CPU.

90c is completely normal for the stock cooler if you are running prime or IBT
