Okay, that is not normal.. All my cores move in temperature under load and idle.

all right !!!
i let the CPU idle all day,while i was @ work = about 12 hrs idleing
I now get movement on all cores .
the # 3 core still will not go below 33C but it is now in line with the rest of the cores in temp under load with Prime 95 BLEND
temps now @ stock 3 GHz start of Prime 95
memory @ 800 timing 5-5-5-15 ambiant temp 27.2 all bios settings at auto except the memory timings

core #0 41
core #1 35
core #2 38
core #3 39 this is the one that was stuck yesterday & this morning @ 33 no matter what idle OR load
