What about reading the temp for example 3 times a second, then take average of them and sum it up by the last seconds average and divide by 2? As far as I know, S&M uses similar method, which is far superior to what CoreTemp can offfer.
The temperature inside the core can and does change very rapidly, so yes, it is possible that one second its a bit lower and the next a bit higher.
It is also possible that it's just the sensors margin of error.

Thanks for letting me know, can you please create a register dump file (in the options menu) and just upload it into [code][/code] tags here?
