These are, by far, the most brilliant photographs that I have ever seen, and you are a GOD AMONG MEN.

So... I've got a 2500k overclocked to 4.3ghz (planning on pushing it to 4.5) in a nice, roomy case with plenty of fans and pretty good cable management. The heatsink is a Hyper 212. I used the thermal paste that came with the Hyper 212.

According to HWINFO64, under heavy load (Prime95 balanced), my max temp is about 80c.

According to Core Temp, my max temp is about 73c.

Additionally, some weirdness happens with the 'current temperature' readings as well. Core #0 in Core Temp is 64c. In HWINFO, it's 73c.

What up with this discrepancy? It's very unnerving not knowing at what temperature my CPUs are actually running.
