I have a mild overclock on an X2 4800 (2.7 on 1.4 volts) and I noticed while running Orthos that core 1 was running at 42c and Core 2 was running 53c. Is it normal for dual cores to have such a temp difference between each core, or does my waterblock need to be reseated? I was thinking that since the IHS is still on, that it should conduct the heat evenly to the waterblock, but since this is my first dual core overclock I am not so sure. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
This is fairly normal... One side of the block could be mounted tighter than the other... So you could always loosen both sides a bit... Then carefully re-tighten.

If that doesn't help, then it could be the IHS's contact with the core.

The IHS really doesn't do anything but HINDER your heat transfer, and prevent the core from getting crushed.
