Temp difference between cores

Was OCing my new week 30 E6600 and found that there is a 2-4C difference between the cores at idle (TAT). My week 24 E6600 doesnt have this issue. Also the temps are higher. Im idling at 55C in coretemp at 3.6ghz on 1.5v vs like 50C with the week 24 E6600. :S
 
My E6400 does this. One core reads 47C at idle while the other one reads 44C. When I run Orthos, both cores run at the same temp.
 
Yeah same thing lol. I ran Orthos and they are the same temperature. I have a feeling it is a bad IHS. Dont feel like lapping it since that will void my warranty. Oh well lets hope it either never blows up for blows up within 3 years :p
 
I had a Week L628 E6600 that did not do this, and have a Week L630 E6600 that DOES do this (cores are different temps).
However, the L630 is overall a slightly more capable chip.
Do we seriously consider this to be a defect???

If it was a bad IHS, wouldn't the load temps be different also?

I get different load temps using TAT but not with Coretemp. Anyway so far my week 30 is running hotter than my week 24 but is OCing a lot better as well.
