Cisco nexus CRC error on interface

Folks,

I have dual stack vPC setup between 4 cisco nexus switch as per above design. I have noticed recently that getting CRC error on cisco 3064 all 4 interface connected to N9K, and during peak traffic time getting more CRC error, these error are not very high also per minute i would say 1 or 2 error randomly popping up on those 4 interfaces. I know CRC has direct connection with Layer 1 (cable, port etc..) but in my case how can be possible both switches and all 4 interface throwing CRC?

After clear counter

Interface config

interface Ethernet1/51 description *** vPC trunk to N9K *** switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 10-12,20-22,27-32,39-40,50,100,200,300 speed 40000 channel-group 3 mode active interface Ethernet1/52 description *** vPC trunk to N9K *** switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 10-12,20-22,27-32,39-40,50,100,200,300 speed 40000 channel-group 3 mode active 

what else could be wrong here, my peak traffic usage on these switches around 10 to 20Gbps during peak.

If you see image screenshot, you will noticed signwave between e1/51 and e1/52 so in day e1/51 has more CRC error and in night e1/52 has more errors, that doesn't make sense to me
