I understand that problem very well.

This may sound crazy coming from a guy that wrote a program that tries to determine absolute core temperatures but really, absolute temperatures are not that important. As long as your computer is stable at full Prime load, or whatever maximum load you typically run, then you'll be fine. Just make sure that you've left yourself some headroom which RealTemp reports as Distance to TjMax and your core voltage is within the Intel spec and your processor should live a long, healthy life.
