So were you measuring YOUR temps thru the BIOS or do you also have some type of probe under the CPU? If you were going by the bios temp, that is definitely way off, lol...but this is nothing that you prob. don't already know...i was using bios 18 and it reported temps about 12 C too low...so when i thought i was running 51C full load, i was actually hitting in the mid 60's...

so if you were going by the bios, then there is more like a 20 degree difference in our setups, which can be easier to explain (but still amazes me - obviously i should get a 2nd Heater core and lower ambient temps...that MIGHT help)

I'll prob. end up getting the refrigerant system from a refrigerator and just chill this stupid thing, lol.

Peace,
