cpu and core temp

[terminator2k2]

hi there i just brought a 2nd hand q9450.....

installed it and run core temp and get the following:

core 0 : low 42 high 44 load 0
core 1 : low 32 high 32 load 8
core 2 : low 39 high 39 load 2
core 3 : low 32 high 38 load 0

is this rougly correct? as im a bit confused why cores 0 and 2 are quite a lot warmer than 1 and 3.......

im using a artic freezer 7 v2

just wandered why 2 cores were higher than the other 2....

how can i stress it and keep an eye on temps?
