I think it is a quite weird problem and I am not comfortable with it. The story is that I was using Barton 2500+ OC 2400Mhz @ 1.85V. I started to record the CPU idle temp after turning on the PC 30 mintues later. It was suprisingly high which was about 37.2C comparing with the ambient temp of 30.8C. However, after running 1 hour Prime95, the full load temp was 39C making the Delta T between the idle and full load quite small IMO. It seems that the high idle temp is completely due to the bad efficiency of my rig. WTF, it can get a small Delta T. So, are there something wrong on my setup or else? Any expects like yours can explain to me.

thanks

PS: all my temp measured through the external sensor which I stick it as close as possible to CPU die.

My setup:

Custom-made water block
Iwaki MD-20RZM water pump
Abit NF7-S v2.0
Thermochill HE-120.2 with the custom made shroud
1/2' ID tubing except the 3/4' on suction line with T.
