Core Temp Inconsistent

I've been using Core Temp to monitor my E6700 (at stock) and have noticed a large inconsistency in the temps it reports at different times. The temps it has reported at idle and load have varied by as much 15 degrees. (The lowest I've seen from core 0 has been 41 idle / 50 load, and the highest 52 idle / 65 load. The temps of core 1 have been around 0-2 degrees lower than core 0. Load temps came from ~1 hour of Orthos.)

I probably wouldn't be too concerned about what's going on if I didn't see temps like 65 load. This seems too high.

To my knowledge, nothing is changing that would cause this fluctuation in temps. It also hasn't been a matter of the temps going from high to low or vice versa. I'm using Asus PC Probe II to monitor temps as well, and what it reports has been fairly consistent in comparison.

I have the E6700 on an Asus P5N32-SLI Premium mobo and I'm using a Zalman CNPS9500 cooler. Is there something about the nforce chipset that would cause the inconsistency in what Core Temp reports? (I apologize if that's a dumb question.) If not, what else could be responsible for the inconsistency?
 
what does the asus probe monitor say? is it even the same as those other 2 readings?

when you max out both cores is the reading always consistent (even with the difference between cores)

i do not even think it would be very easy for there to be 15 degrees between 2 cores in the same package. if so the thing would crack pretty quick! it must be the sensor/software or something.

i remember back in the day of CUSL2 it used to read 10 degrees wrong.
 
PC Probe has always read at around 33 idle and 48 load.

The difference between the cores in Core Temp has never been more than 2 degrees that I've seen when using Orthos, and it's usually 0 or 1.

I'm getting inconsistencies in temp readings for a single core at different times in Core Temp. At one time, the temps for just core 0 were 52 idle / 65 load, then at another time, the temps for the same core were 41 idle / 50 load. The temps for that core at other times have fallen somewhere between these readings. There doesn't seem to be any sort of consistency in what I see in Core Temp.
