I used to do a line. With my 2500k last january I did a ball in the middle and I average 33C idle and 40-44C load. It should be a bit better but I never cared enough to redo it. 3-5C makes no difference.

I survived to the end and got nothing out of it, but hey.

Same. I used to do the surface spread. Now I'm a blob and smash kind of guy. My i7 920 averages about 33C idle as well depending on what the ambient temps are.
