My Q6600 is overclocked to 3.0Ghz at 1.29 vcore (load)

I'm using a thermalright ultra extreme 120 with a scythe flex 1600rpm fan blowing, and under prime my load temps are; is that too much of a difference?

Core #0 61
Core #1 61
Core #2 48
Core #3 48
 
I thought it was too high:( I have used the AS5 paste on it, I thought that I mounted the cooler properly. However I wasn't sure how tight to do it up. I just made the screws flush with the motherboard back plate; or do you think that it should be tighter?

Thanks for you reply
 
I did twist it a bit before mounting, and I didn't know that the screws had to bottom out; thanks for the replies.

On a side note, as I don't wish to lap the heatsink; am I right when thinking my processor will never get that hot, unless running prime, as its only stressful use would be gaming and archiving?
 
Thanks for the replies; I think then this weekend I will reseat the heatsink; see if it makes a difference.
 
This might be the issue, I can slighty twist and move my ultra around, at the moment. I suppose that yours is rigid?
