I noticed the temperature of CORE 2 always 7-8c lower than those from CORE 0, 1 and 3.

Is it normal?
 
Running Prime on an 870 right now, temps are 70/68/66/66. Sounds like a heatsink seating issue to me, or the bottom of the heatsink could use some lapping.
 
I dont own an i7 but I know on my C2Q two cores are almost always about 5C warmer than the other two. Reseating HSF didn't help, heck I even upgraded the HSF (not for this reason) and the temps of all the cores dropped, but two were still 5C warmer.
 
it is fine. you dont have to worry about it. temp differences in that range is normal.
