Guys, I've used MX-1, MX-2, AS5 and many others including the latest one from OCZ. OCZ Freeze, Shin Etsu and MX-2 are best ones in my repeated experience but between them, you might not find much difference and variation from application to application and heatsink to heatsink can be much.
Core temperatures: the TjMax for processors is known, it is fully documented but only to those bodies Intel believes require the details (usually ISV's) and the information is in the BIOS Writers Guide which is available only under NDA. CoreTemp author (Arthur, no pun) has the correct TjMax data as far as I know but some others don't and are making up values to suite their whim, thereby misleading lay users.
Matt: MP won't matter with camera's trust me, it's the media and marketing where they spread this myth so we go running to throw our money away... unless you're printing larger than 1600x1200
2MP is perfect to take 1600 x 1200 size printable pictures, but what you have to work on and see is, how good the CMOS and lens is, its quality, the resolution grain, and adjust the aperture, focal length, lighting ISO and other settings to enable a good picture. That's what separates one camera from another and their respective qualities. HIH
