Its fine, your CPU was not under high load, so the load was mainly on one core, resulting in higher temps than the rest. No need to worry. I hope those are not idle temps though, ~50C is quite high for that.

Hi,
There's 2 main possible reasons...the protective metal plate over the cpu is rarely exactly flat so there will be a slight variation, also windows tends to use 1 core most of time unless software requires more.
