My problem is my temps are getting really high on my first 2 cores when running prime95 or not, the 3rd and 4th cores seem to be the same

Here's my setup
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU fan and heatsink
Q6600 g0 stepping
Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
8 GB Patriot DDR2-pc8500 ram
nvidia gtx 260

Got it overclocked to
3.2ghz
8x400
2.66D ram multiplier at 1066

Vcore is at 1.318
Ram is 2.1

When I ran prime95 my first 2 core temps go to 70+ which is about 8-10c more than 3 and 4... which scared me a little bit..

Any help? thanks.
 
Hmm, maybe, I'll try to reapply it tomorrow when I have time, any recommended tips to mounting it?

EDIT: Hmm, seems to be some blue piece on my motherboard thats blocking my cooler a little bit... hmmm, what to do about that?
