Thanks Lee.
Guys, we've been over this before.
The wild temp swings actually come from Sandra. CPUBurn works better at maintaining a steady temp, for load testing. Incidentally, that's what JD uses...
You two (Tuff, JayDee116) really need to try to get along!
Tuff, you just need to come forward, and say how you tested your block, and what your reference point was. As JayDee stated, you can't use someone else's temps as a reference point: you have to get a known block, and compare yours to it, under the same conditions, and you have to do it a few times, to make sure that you account for the TIM joint variations.
That's exactly what JD is doing, and he's got it right. I'm sure he hasn't tested it more than a couple of times, but he's still prototyping: when he's got a final product, I'm sure he'll put it through the ringer.
