I have a Quad Core 6600 CPU.

I have just booted for the first time today and CoreTemp is reading 37,37,28,26 for each core respectively (high, high, low, low).

At other times it has read figures such as 36, 26, 27, 35 (high, low, low, high).

Has anybody else noticed this irregularity with CoreTemp?

I have double-checked the thermal compound bond between my CPU and its heatsink which seems to be sound.
 
Please can you guys tell me at which temp I should start to ease off the overclocking for the G0 Quad 6600 ?

I am currently clocked to 3GHz with 60, 60, 51, 51 under load (Small FFTs Prime95).
VCore 1.325V.

Air cooled.
 
I have just rebooted and now when I run CoreTemp it is reading 60, 51, 60, 51 (High, Low, High, Low) under load.

This seems very odd (see above posts regarding the High Low bit).
This time (High, Low, High, Low) each pair of temps seems to be EXACTLY related. i.e. temp 1 and 3 toggle between 60 and 61 at the same time. Temp 2 and 4 is toggling between 51 and 52 together also.

Prime95 is definitely running 4 threads.

Does anybody know why CoreTemp is acting like this?
