I ask this because with the old Gigabyte EX58-Extreme I was getting very good NB/SB temps (lower than R3E in 15-20 C range !!!) , so should we all buy blocks for R3E to keep the temps in an acceptable range ?
I somehow find that hard to believe, so you are saying that your NB/SB chipset ran at equal to or lower than ambient temperature? Either you live inside a fridge or your temp probes didn't work properly lol.
