There are quite a few variable to sort out before you can make any statement about temperature drop.
It will be dependent on what CPU, thermal compound and HSF are used. It will depend on how smooth and flat the CPU and HSF are. It will depend on how well the compound is applied. It will depend on how you set up the HSF fan speed in BIOS and as a result, how fast it runs. It will also depend on how hot the case is and how well ventilated the case is. Finally, it will depend on the temperature of the room in which the computer is used.
If you nail down all those parameters, then someone can say "This much." Otherwise, the answer is "That depends."

ok letz just say... idle around 32~33C and after gaming around 38~39C??? thatz the system temperature... for the cores... they just vary alot... core 1 and core 2 usually are very close to each other... same with core 3 and core 4 are close to each other ( temp wise ) but the gap for core 1 & 2 is pretty far from core 3 & 4...
and i remember i had system temp at 40~42C idle... didnt check the cores temp b4... so is it good? or did i mount the HSF porperly?
thanks again

If you didn't check the CPU temps before, how are we supposed to know how good the drop was?
Chances are that if you installed a good cooler to replace the stock cooler your temps are better overall. Those temps look good for stock clocks/voltages, make sure you're using Realtemp for that CPU to check the temps.
