However my core temp is 31C @load, 26C idle, and my ambient temp is 17C and my res temp is 17C. I'm running an AXP 2000+ at 1.921GHZ, with Vcore=2.08V. Is it possible that this sucker is just throwing off a lot of heat? It gets unstable at 35C, and I mean 35C measured by my KR7A thermistor. I have my MAZE2 tightened way down, and the CPU leaves a perfect imprint on the bottom. Arrrgh! What the heck am I doing wrong? Frustrating part is I'm getting worse temps now! Thanks for letting me vent

based on your original post ambient=12 load=27 So the delta has decreased by 1C. Are you using the following flow res - pump - radiator - cpu - res?
Also recommend lapping with 1000+ grit and polishing with toothpaste. I don't know if you are going to improve on this with the kind of vcore you are using.
