I built my first system approx. 1 month ago, and after reading countless forums, I have noticed that my temps are higher than most, especially core #3. I have called Intel's tech support, and they said that they do not recognize ANY hardware monitoring programs EXCEPT what your bios reads. Which is only the cpu temp. They also said that I need not worry about core temps, only what the cpu temp is as a whole. My temps are as follows at idle.

My room is normally at a temperature of around mid 70's right now. Hotter during the day. Here is a link to pic of my case and the arrows illustrate the airflow.

My heatsink is the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 , with a 120mm Scthye fan on it.
I ran prime95 for 16 hours straight and didn't have 1 failure. I would like to OC higher but at 3.6 I failed 2 tests. But then again it's the first time I have ever done anything like this. I have heard that quads sometimes have internal sensors that get suck, which if that's true how come of the four, I still see #3(the highest one) moving and not stuck on any 1 temp.? I have reseated my heasink 3 times, and cleaned it thoroughly each time. I am using the bolt on kit from Xigmatek, and I have it tightened down until it stops. I am just not sure what to do from here. Not worry about it? Everybody who see's these temps says JESUS that is High Temps. So it makes me worry especially being a noob at this. So I am calling all hands on this, that are willing to help me that is. I need some opinions. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

UPDATE on my high temp issue. So today I lightly lapped my xigmatek hdt-s1283 cooler. I made it pretty shiney, but not a mirror finish. I also applied artic cooling mx-2, and followed the directions for applying it, from benchmark reviews, which was recommended to me by Daniel who is a Xigmatek support tech. It only dropped my temp 1 degree. They are all still in the mid to high 30's, and the core with the high temp is around 60, at idle according to RealTemp 2.6. At this point I am tired of reseating that cooler, and I am just going to OC a little until I I hopefully get to 3.4-3.6, and let it ride. I am finacially stable, and if I fry it then i will just have to get another one. Thanks for everybody's help and recommendations on here. If anyone here finds out any more info on the Quads high temp issue, post it. I geuss there are alot of people on many different forums having the exact same issue. Thanks again.
