Temps skyrocket with increasing Vcore beyond believe.

Also Asus' very nice (NOT!) PC probe says my cpu is just 25C while TAT tells me i'm having a blistering 39C.

This is with 1.425Vcore and watercooling, running 3.6GHz rockstable 24/7.

I lapped mine yesterday but gains seem to be very little, mine was pretty flat compared to others to begin with.

I will let the AS5 settle some more and see how much i gained.
The temp was read with coretemp, e6300 stock speed/voltage. Do you have PECI enabled? I tried enabling it and it dropped the temp that PC Probe displayed by about 15c (making it obviously not correct ) Perhaps that could explain your weirded up temp on pc probe. My IHS was very spoon shaped, took a long time to get the copper showing in the centre of the IHS. The temps TAT reads seem slightly off compared with CoreTemp also, so I'm not sure which to believe, i'd lean toward core temp because TAT isn't actually designed for c2d's, but i dunno, just my opinion
