Uneven CPU performance: e6850 3.0

[fareedyomind]

Hello-

I have not been getting optimum performance from my rig, and I think it is due to my uneven loading and temperature of my CPU.

While doing cpu intensive functions (gaming, windows update/firewall scanning) I notice my CPU is showing very uneven loading (using Core Temp + G15).
Also, my log is showing 20 c + difference between cores as well under max loading!!

Core 0 runs around 34c->57c (min->max).
Core 0 runs around 29c->49c (min->max temps, max temps represent under near to full load).

Max temp on the Conroe e6850 is 72c, fyi, voltage range from .5v - 1.5v.
I am running at 1.35v.

Normal

Normal temps?

But what about the loads, why would I get a core loading to 100% and the other around 70%?

Also normal. One or two cores generally end up doing more work then the others, and those tend to get hotter. Still, anything more than a 10C diffrence is a bit odd...
