Hi all,
I recently completed my build including a Core i7 930 and Scythe Mugen 2 using AS5. My temps at idle are around 32C and at full load are 60-62C.
I was wondering if these load temps seem a little high? I found a chart comparing several aftermarket heatsinks.

While my idle temps are lower then in their data set my load temps are several degrees higher. Is it possible that my load temps will drop to sub-60C after some burn in or do I need to re-seat the heatsink?
I'm concerned because I would like to start trying to OC this weekend and didn't know if I should proceed "as-is".
Thanks for you input.
