7 Degree temp differance between cores on Q9400, is this normal?

[Vegetarian]

If I prime95 I find that cores 0 and 2 are about 5-6 degs higher than the other 2... they also reach about 56degs too under stress at stock... is this too high for a quad? Idle they are 32-37 degs.

No, that's fine.

My old e8400 had nearly 20c between the cores, worked fine.

Fine

Its now running prime95 on 4 cores (blend) at 3.12ghz with no change in voltage and the temps are 61 56 60 56... is that ok for that speed?

Not to bad, what cooler are you running.

Its an Akasa AK-965,. gets a bit noisy once temps get to 50 deg... the person i'm building it for wants a silent pc. I had it at 3.2ghz + and still on stock volts and prime stable... think I have clocker here.

My old Q6600 had as much as 10c difference but my new Q9650 has only 2c diff.
