    While it could be that your cooling system has cycles of on/off between that particular interval of temps, it seems way too uniform to be normal.
    Try MrDJ's suggestion above.

    Yeah, that's plausible; only nuance is that you (princepeej) said this is in regards to idle temps. So, the question I have is: what are the conditions like? Such as: ambient temperature, are the vents obstructed/dirty, etc.?

    Cross reference your temps with another program for assurance sake, such as the one MrDJ has for you. :)

    That looks like a normal idle fan ramp profile to me.
