Q6600 too hot?

Just built a while ago a new computer. Here are the specs.

Intel Q6600 (G0)
2 GB G.Skill DDR2/800
ABit IP-35-E
Evga NVidia 9600gt 512Mb SSC edition
650 Watt Corsair PSU
Antec P182 case

I think I am getting some strange reads on the core temps. This is @ 2.5 GHz, 9x multi, 1.2500v. Full Load running 4x Prime95 Small FFT(Max processor torture).

Core0 = 66C
Core1 = 64C
Core2 = 68C
Core3 = 68C

Is it normal to have such unbalanced core temps? I Idle at 34-35 across all. Even at 2.3(and4), I get pretty much the same temps. Low voltage change, I know my voltage is okay(its stock still). It is rock solid, the temps are after 24 hrs of Prime95. My ventilation is great. I have 4 120mm fans blowing, 1 exhaust above the CPU(top of case), 1 standard vent on back, one mid-case up fron intake, and one blowing across my psu as an exhaust. All are 120mm fans.

After some googling, I think It may be my retardedness ion installing the cooler. I will admit, it was my first LGA775 processor install. The push-pins freaked me out and I thought I was going to break my mobo. So maybe its uneven. Any other ideas? People seem to be able to get this beast up to at least 2.8 stock air just fine . . . . whats wrong with mine?
