    Remember there are two dies under the heat spreader, one die may have better contact with the IHS than the other hence the temp difference.

    I suggest downloading realtemp and use the sensor test option, this will help you to determine if you have a stuck sensor.

    Cores 1 & 3 always run 'hotter' than Cores 2 & 4 and yes all cores increase by similar increments when loaded.
