I only had the system assembled to test for a day prior to tearing it down to fix the ugly p180 cablegami/airflow issues so I don't have much time in with it yet. Still have a ways to go before it's back up. Once it is, I'll check if the discrepancy for my application is indeed a consistent 15 degrees.
I believe the e4300 has a 100c tjunction. There are a few threads in the info and support sub-forum that talk about this. You might take a look.
