Temps are outstanding for AIR and this time of year:

At this OC,
Idle:
Core #0 = 39C
Core #1 = 37C
Core #2 = 32C
Core #3 = 35C

Orthos (load):
Core #0 = 62C
Core #1 = 62C
Core #2 = 55C
Core #3 = 55C

I am aware of the disparity between core temperatures, and mine are slightly out of the norm of what everyone else is measuring. I can chalk it up to:
1) That's the way it is, deal with it!
or
2) I had a slightly slanted (not concave or convex) Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme that might be putting unequal pressure on the chip when screwing in the mounting screws with equal pressure. I attempted to fix it by lapping down the "top of the hill" side of the slant as much as possible and doing the "Washer between the mounting bracket and HS base trick" that you guys hooked me up with. That actually dropped temps about 3C.
