You are running at about 68watts with those settings, that puts the CW curve at 0.0588 which is far superior to anyone elses can get on the planet with ANY strait cooling system.
Maybe that is clear enough to you that your probe is either wrong or you are reporting idle temps which is worthless to begine with.

The CPU thermistor is located under the chip and I made sure it had thermal compound lightly applied to the tip and it made good contact . I don't think the probe is that far off,if at all.
I have a XP1700 running @1700 with a thermistor installed with the tip touching the side of the cpu core. MBM reports cpu temps of 35c while the thermistor on the chip reports 47c. I tend to beleive the sensor I installed is more accurate,which only makes sense because of the direct core contact.
Unless you have a way of actually measuring your core temps,you are at the mercy of your onboard sensors and have to accept the temps they give you.
Wether you think my temp probe is screwy or not has nothing to do with the subject of my original post and I don't remember anyone putting you in charge of judging my credibility.
