Kind of going over old ground a bit here, but I thought it best to start a new thread.

On my last WU (just finished) my core temps were generally around 50/51C, and whilst that was reckoned to be on the high side, it was not dangerously so. My new WU has, for the last 90 minutes shown temps between 43C and 48C, using CoreTemp. PC Wizard confirms these temps.

I was wondering if each WU requires different effort from the CPU, thus causing such temp variations? Are future WUs likely to show such variations? Naturally, I'm pleased that the temps have dropped a few degrees, as it was my intention to move a couple of the Antec fans to the high setting (all are on medium) at the weekend.
