temps were:
cpu - 35C idle & 51C load - pwmic 48C - gpu 31C
without the IHS on today & higher ambient
cpu - 33C idle & 38C load - pwmic 56C - gpu 40C
the paste under the IHS was naff, i had to use a stanley knife to get it off!!
at least i got 2 146's doing 3.1ghz stable now though, just gotta find a cabne now :D
