Just built new 2600K / ASR Extreme 4 / Hyper212+

Right now HWMon is showing idle at 21C for Core 0, 29/30C for Core 3 and in between for Cores 1 and 2.

When I ran Prime for 30mins it settled in around 48/50C. Temp spread then was more like 6C.

Is a 9 degree difference in cores normal? OK? Anything to worry about? I'd prefer not to have to re-seat my cooler - just looking for some confirmation that I'm OK.
