MP 1,1-5,1 Upgraded Dual CPUs and one runs hotter than the other?

[BoomerTheBlunt]

I just upgraded my 5,1 with dual x5680's from the stock 2.4Ghz Quads. Everything seems to bw working fine except CPU A is turning 8-10 degrees celcius warmer than CPU B. Is this normal? My idle temps are as follows:

The temps seem OK but the disparity makes me nervous. Is this something to worry about?

Thanks in advance for advice!

Expected behaviour, CPU B gets the external colder air, CPU A gets the air already warmed by both the CPU B and the northbridge heatsinks - it's a wind tunnel.
