i5 3570k Core temps

My new gaming pc one of the cores is idling averagely 5-6 degrees below the other three, is this normal?
The other cores are around 33-34 at idle, but the first one is around 27-28. The other cores are slightly high but I'm on the stock cooler at the moment so that probably explains it.

This being my first ever build is this normal for temps? I haven't had Internet access to start gaming yet but will all the cores start to even out or is it something to keep an eye on?

Nothing is overclocked it's all running from stock setup.

Yep its quite common to have one core different from the rest so don't worry

Yes its normal. One of my cores idles at 12'c with the others at 20.

From what ive seen its usually core 4 that has the dodgey sensor

That's put my mind at rest, thanks guys. My 4th core is about 5 degrees higher than the rest when using Microsoft Office and other similar programmes, but I presume that's not too much of a jump up to worry about?
