Extreme temps and cold heatsinks = something isn't right.
Never seen a stock heatsink that was worth very much.
With all due respect I am listening. I was thinking the same thing, however I cannot ignore the logical results which are that under load my temps are higher and at idle they drop down to the constant idle temps which they can hold for over a week and do as I take temp readings each day at the same time idle. If the cooling wasn't working, they simply wouldn't boot or hold an idle temp, nor would they drop quickly from load. That's just the facts.

I've never seen a 1U or 2U unit from Dell, HP, or the like come with aftermarket coolers on Intel CPU's either, and they work fine for years. Passive cooling works, and so do stock HS's with fans; trust me.
