The temperatures are from both Speedfan and BIOS and seem fairly consistent. The current heatsink/fan is a Thermaltake Volcano 9, it did not have a pad on it, and I did follow the instructions to apply a very thin layer of paste. I even applied the heatsink a couple of times to check that there was enough to bridge any gaps, but not too much so it oozed out of the sides. As I have said, this processor has never had a temp below 60 degrees irrespective of heatsink or motherboard.
