got everything running bumped the FSB up to 400 and got and easy 3.2ghz
with out touching any other setting in the bios. now here's the problem
The temp readings vary ALOT from core to core (see pic)
although both programs show different temps you can see that cores 1 and 2 are over 10c-15c higher than cores 0 and 3.
On my D-tek fuzion I have it tightened down till the springs are almost completly compressed and applied a thin layer of as5 on both sides.
Does the quad nozzle fix this problem or should I just reapply TIM and reseat my block? I have the nozzle kit, but dont really want to tear it all down unless I really have to.
I suggest you check your heat sink face for flatness. If its concaved you may need to lap. Also check your CPU. Make sure when reapplying the tim its as thin as possible while completely covering the CPU face.

jonilink, you've already identified the problem. Your results from Real Temp "Test Sensors" suggests that Cores 1 & 2 have DTS sensors which are "sticking" at Idle. This is a common problem with 45 nanometer processors. From the Core 2 Quad and Duo Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ture-guide
Section 15: Troubleshooting
Notice: A significant percentage of 45 nanometer processors are being reported with defective DTS sensors, which appear as unresponsive Core temperatures at lower Scale. Offsets between Cores exceeding 10c are also being reported. Sensors can be tested using Real Temp 2.5 - http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ - Processors with defective sensors should be RMA`d. This applies to E7000, E8000, Q9000 and QX9000 series processors.
Hope this helps,
Comp
