After trying 2 different motherboards and 2 different heat sinks the temperature readings on the first 2 cores are about 58 degrees where as cores 2 & 3 are running at about 38 degrees.

Is this normal?
 
Thanks for your quick responses :)

At first I thought it could be this but after trying 2 completely different heat sinks which I am positive was having perfect contact with the CPU, I am not sure.

A 20 degree difference between die's is quite a lot. I did contact Intel about this and they agreed that it was too hot so I think I will have to return it :(
