Looking at the graphs, I am trying to guage what kind of result I should be getting vs. what I am actually getting. So, are the "Core Temperatures Corrected for 22 Deg C Air Intake and Typical Radiator Ability (Pump Heatdump Included)" curves the ones intended to be representative of what my own rig might achieve? Sorry if this is a dumb question

Also, if I said that with my rig (as per my sig: Core i7 D0 at 4.2 GHz, 1.30625v Vcore - shows as 1.280v in Cpu-Z - at 22 Deg C ambient) I get a max core temp of 62 Deg C (measured with Real Temp v3.0 running LinX 0.6.3 and All Mem of ~4.6GB) with the other cores 1 to 2 Deg C lower, would that be considered to be good or not? I realise that your testing is with a C0 at much higher Vcore.

Basically, all I really want to know is if I have a "good mount" as I see from your tests that over 5 mounts it can vary by almost 1 Deg C. I have only done one!

P.S. I am using Shin-Etsu X23-7783D TIM after reading your review
Yup, that's the graph for you to use to find optimal pumping power (which you're at, according my testing).

As for temps, every CPU is different, some are VERY different, so I wouldn't try to compare your CPU to mine. Your temps do sound good though, if you want to remount a couple times and see if you're getting roughly the same temps, it might be worth a shot. Overall though, I think your temps are good, if you used sound mounting technique, I wouldn't worry.
