BIG difference in temps

The difference in temps between my two cores is pretty big:

Idle - Core #0 = 39 & Core #1 = 23

Load - Core #0 = 48 & Core #1 30

Measured using Core Temp 0.95.

I had been using an air cooler, but switched to a water cooling setup on the cpu, and still the temps persist at these wierd readings. I even decided to lap my cpu and water cooling block but this doesn't seem to have brought any joy. I reseated the cpu and am using Artic Silver tim.

My mobo is the Striker Extreme (!) and i had wondered if the nb heatpipes had been interfering but its hard to tell.

Also i swapped the cpu out to another system and it ran at 25 degrees (according to the mobo monitoring software) and yet in my current system it states a temp of 52 degrees!

Is it possible for the temp sensors to be faulty?
 
thanks....

Good idea to try the latest ver. of Core Temp but unfortunately the discrepancies stayed more or less the same.

Its frustrating as I want to start pushing my cpu, but i'd like an idea of how hot it is getting (i take the temp. programs with a pinch of salt but at least they're some sort of indicator).

Oh well, off to the Asus forumns and possibly the mercy of Asus Support.....

Thanks for the reply - always guarenteed a sensible informed reply @ Ocuk.
 
What are the acceptable differences between temps? My Q6600 is currently fluctuating with these temps:

#0 = 28-30
#1 = 27-28
#2 = 25-27
#3 = 28-30

These seem ok? Difference wise i mean, i know the temps are low :)

A difference of only 3c between the 4 cores is very good.
 
Idle my Q6600 cores are all more or less the same, 30-35 though when under load there can be a difference as much as 11C between 0+1 and 2+3 on mine. Could it just be core 0+1 get the most usage?
 
On my quad cores 2 and 3 are always 4 degrees cooler then 0 and 1, used to be a lot more but I lapped my TRU 120A and CPU.
