Tuff, you just need to come forward, and say how you tested your block, and what your reference point was. As JayDee stated, you can't use someone else's temps as a reference point: you have to get a known block, and compare yours to it, under the same conditions, and you have to do it a few times, to make sure that you account for the TIM joint variations.

"under the same conditions" refers to the SAME EXACT HARDWARE. Just change the blocks and NOTHING ELSE.

Heat has to transfer into the block before it can be removed..therfore the heat registers on the Thermosensor BEFORE it is taken away. IE spikes in temp. THIS explains the swings I had reported.

That is incorrect, a 5 degree spike in 9 seconds is not likely even with Sandra... you are talking a 5 degree jump AND drop in 9 seconds. 1 or 2 degrees I could understand. What are you doing moving a cutting torch across it?
IF it is indeed doing that, I suggest you get something else to load your CPU like BB was mentioning (CPUBurn). This will level out your temps.
BTW... I hate using average temps that have swings of more than 2 degrees in the measurements. It just stinks of marketing.
