Stuck CPU core sensor?

Hello, I have an i5 2400 cpu that i believe might have stuck CPU sensors. While using real temp I decided to do a sensor test before and during prime95. Before prime95 (idle) my temperature was at 34c,30c,29c,26c (the forth core is always coolest no matter what for some reason) and the sensors were at 11,12,12,6 and during prime95 i did the sensor test and the movement for all cores were at a flat 0. Does this indicate that my temperature is stuck for sure? if so then what should I do next? Is there anything i could do besides deciding to go through the pain of having to RMA the processor? I do a lot of gaming so I am constantly putting my cpu under load and I don't want to end up frying my motherboard AND processor because of rogue stuck sensors.

P.s I am using an aftermarker heatsink (cooler master N520)
 
So you did the sensor test during Prime 95?

If so, there shouldn't have been any movement. At 100% usage, you're already at very high temps and stress levels, so the extra stress that the sensor test puts on it won't move the temps a bit. I would be shocked, if it did.

Main point, you're fine, if my assumption is correct.
