i have same issue on my q9450, cores 0&1 are allways around 8-10 degrees higher then 2&3, remouted heatsink 2-3 times, even lapped it once, it doesnt makes a difference, then someday during prime95 test i noticed, that each time when core 0 or 1 will fail, failed core will starts to read temperature from other core, so i think its bugged/stucked sensors and i stoped caring about temperatures on core 0&1 and i just take 2&3 as only ones valid under stress... problem is linpac sometimes on hot day can get core 0&1 on 95 degrees and that turns on thermal throttling but like i said that exceptional on very hot day, when i get temperatures inside case over 40 degrees, so i dont mind much...
