I have to agree with Kevin here about the mobo prob. The very idea of getting an accurate temp by hanging a probe somewhere under the socket can only be full of inaccuracies. The simple act of turning on a case fan could widely effect your readings by the simple change in airflow around the socket. Even an inline will only tell me the change in water temp at the place the probe is. Bad placings will also be effected by other varieables such as air flow.

Bunkermentality's tests showed an improvement of 2c - which as I have said, I was not able to replicate.
