You should get another monitoring program. CPU, Core1, and Core2 should be about the same, They are not. There may be an explanation, but you need to find out what is actual. A difference of 21C is too much to make a comment on. 71C is too hot. 50C is OK. Also 12V should not be 5.97V.

Your system temperatures are also too high, so you need more case fans, or take the side off. System temperatures should be a bit over room temperature, like 30C. Your HDs will like it cooler as well.

Running your CPU at around 60C (full load) should be a maximum limit. This is a personal preference.
