I am using an i7 4790k with a EVO 212 cooler. The cooler has two fans attached in a push pull manner. My case is a corsair 750 d. My case currently has two intake and 3 output fans. I am seeing very odd temps.

Here are my temps with firefox(1 tab) open:

Also my EVO 212 can be twisted. It is hard to explain but if i put my hand on top of it I can rotate it slightly. Should I be worried about this? Any and all help is appreciated.

Just looked at your voltages, your vcore is outrageous. Turn on manual control of core voltage and work on getting it way down. My 4790k is set at 1.16, just as an example.

yes, you should worry about that. I don't have an evo 212, I have never used one, but the socket 1150 requires the coolers to be well secured, to function properly. Well secured means all the attachment points(4) are tight, and there's the proper amount of downward pressure on the cpu. The pressure ensures that there's good contact between the cpu, tim, and cooler base.
Pull the cooler off(with the machine off :p), clean the cpue die(using paper towel and alcohol, then a microfiber and alcohol, until it shines), reapply tim in whatever way you prefer(I use the rice grain method), then re-install the cooler(ensuring that it's attached solidly at all 4 points). It will require a bit of force, but not that much.

I just checked my vcore in cpu z and it is listed as 0.72 while hwmonitor still lists it as 1.856. Any idea why?

Also would you consider my temps high considering the computer was not under much load?

Have you taken manual control of your voltage? I use both of those programs too. My max HWMonitor vcore voltage is what I've manually set it at(1.16), the other numbers are variable number(the min and the current value, both well under 1.16). CPU-z likewise gives you a variable number.
The reason for the temps is simple, you don't have good contact with the cpu cooler on one side of the die, due to the play you have in the cooler's movement. There will be some variance in temps between the cores in a cpu, but that number is usually just a few degrees. If, you're cooler is seated properly, then that big of a variance suggests that you have something going on under the lid of that chip(an air bubble, or poor application of the TIM that Intel uses when they manufacture the cpu).
