No changes in the temps, unfortunately. With the new bios my idle core temps are 38C/32C at stock 3.0GHz, and 38C/36C @ 4.1GHz...the same as 705 bios. The cpu temp is 32C in bios, and 28C in Everest/CPUID Hardware Monitor at idle. Under full load 50C/54C cores, and 43C cpu temp.
I frankly don't really believe these temp readings. The problem is with the temp diodes in the cores and these programs are just reading these faulty diodes. So no fix with this new bios. Since the bios temp reading is 4C higher than software readings, to be safe I would add on 4C in Windows...so my cpu idle temp is 32C, with 47C under load. Believable, I guess and nothing to get worried about.
It's not stable at any higher FSB with the cpu voltage of 1.365v, so 4.1GHz is the max...although the NB could perhaps be raised to 1.40v to aid stability at higher o/c, but I am satisfied at this level.
