May I be honest with you? 73°C at 4GHz and 1.4xxV Vcore under Linpack looks perfect fine to me. You still have 27 remaining distance to TJMax which is perfect safe for daily use but also keep in mind that Linpack is a useless test for daily use because you'll never-ever see something that it will heat-upyour CPU as Linpack does.
If you want to simulate daily use (gaming/encoding/rendering/whatever) try prime95 Small FFTs.
For me that prime95 test matches my gaming/DVD-ripping CPU temperatures (in fact even prime95 is a little bit high compared with what I see during gaming/ripping).
Peoples care too much about Intel CPU temps. Don't worry for them, they'll protect themselves when it will be necessary. Remember, throttle is initiated by distance to TJMax <2 or thermal shutdown when distance to TJMax is -25.
At least for mobile chips because I see a quad which happily passed LinX at 136°C.
