x58 NB and CPU temperatures and question

Specifically regarding EVGA x58 motherboards (not really including Classified model). Whats is everyone's typical NB idle and load temperatures? I replaced my stock HS with a Thermalright HR-05 IFX (hopefully I will attach a 80mmx15mm fan to it tonight) a while back, but can't remember what kind of NB temps I was getting back then. So I need to know NB temps from other x58 owners if you still using the stock HS/HSF (preferably if you own EVGA's) so I can get an idea where I'm at. Taking into consideration of ambient temps, my NB runs idle around 50C (+/- 2C) and load around 60C (+/- 2C), its summer and I don't have AC, but room temperature is usually 70F-85F on average, depending on day or night.

Secondly, I seen other people's x58 idle temps for Core temps (not CPU temp, or so they claim) that are as low as ~25C-~30C and go as high as +60C on load. So that's a ~30C difference. My Core temps idle at ~40C, but it only goes up to ~50C, a ~10C difference. My question here would be, what does that tell me about my cooling setup? (Considering my room don't have AC and its summer)
