the default warning of 140C is the GPU not the CPU, I do know the FX's run h.

I don't know what my water temp is but those CPU temps are from the on die diode that the MP's have built in so if they are off I wouldn't think it would be by a large ammount, the board i'm using doesn't even have it's own temp sensor as far as I can tell, it just uses the on die one, and the temps seemed acurate before I went to water cooling so I don't see that the diode's would be wrong now, and at 66F it's not like the ambient temp is warm.

the current system isn't gona be scraped so I won't have the parts from it to use, it will be an new system, i'm not concerned with price/performance ratio, I want the highest performance, and yeah I know the whitewater is a better performing block but the boards i'm looking at don't have the mounting holes (at least the pics of the boards on the manufacture's web site don't have them) so I need to use socket tab hold downs.

i'll try and get some water temps tonight since I don't know of any other easy way of checking the die temp other than the built in diodes.
