latenightrob make sure push pin are locked down correctly.also may chek the cpu heatsink and fan don't move very much.also coretemp look ok to me but the speedfan readings are a little to high for me.but like you say you don't know if they are correct.also may check air flow through the case you have.and I know this may sound crazy but did you apply thermal compound correctly..hope this helps you.

FYI, the Wolfdale's temp sensor is forked up. It's only accurate under load. My idle is 19'C 34'C in core temp. BIOS reads 17'C. Granted, I have TEC cooling.

 

I find RealTemp to be the most accurate for Wolfdale. Google it.
