This happens every time I shut my computer down and I have to turn it on again. Is this normal behavior for this board? I'm a little concerned with the wear on the parts.
You need to update the UEFI, that bug was fixed with UEFI 1.6A onward.

Try latest beta.
You have a better IHS application than I do. Theres a maximum delta of 10c between hottest and coolest cores on my 2500k and even the average is 6-7c hotter between coolest and hottest cores and thats only idle at load it can increase to as much as 13c. Thats why I think its just TIM used under the IHS and why I'm so very tempted to take a razor blade and set it on my 2500k.

For 24/7 usage, you should be looking at around 1.38v max.
