I am using the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme(Lapped) on an E6600(Lapped), but I get weird temps. My Core Temps are both 29C Idle, but my CPU temp is 42C. Should I even worry about the CPU temp and just worry about the core temps? I'm looking to hit 3.6 on it, but I know if I do, the CPU Temp will be very high, while the Core Temps will be fine. Thanks.

Go with Core Temp (0.95.4 Beta is the newest version)

My temps are correct, I've tested with many different programs. I am just wondering if I should mainly focus on Core Temps rather than the CPU temp, which there is a big difference between.
Also, could lapping the CPU have caused this problem?
I don't think lapping would have caused this and yes just focus on your Core Temps.
