1. The ClubOverclocker heatsink guide uses the Thermistor for temp readings so it's up to you if you want to trust something that has been proven to be inaccurate;
Yes but there is such a thing as consistent inaccuracy which makes it reliable data. They use the same motherboard, with the same thermistor, with the same OC'ed CPU, only variable is the HSF. So that Top Ten list is quite correct it's just the degrees they report are off by a few degrees, so when you get your HSF you will get just about the same temps their inaccurate thermistor got.
Just like the air chuck we use to check tire pressure and fill them with air, it's off by 5 lbs, we all know that, so we compensate for it. The same can be done with thermistors.
Consistent inaccuracy.
