Yeah, the temp is really low.
Let's see more OC results!

Push it further so I can justify a motherboard swap Mine is limited due to the crappy XBX2 fsb limitation

C'mon, you know the answer already..do I really need to prove it to you?
EVA2000 has already proven that P5k-Dlx is the best mobo right now for quads - 480+FSB instead of the ~420ish FSB in the past with P5B-Dlx or badaxe2 in your case

Boo...I want better temps too >_< May I ask where you got your info for lapping your heatsink. I know my chip can go much higher than 3 Ghz.

Also, did you buy some kind of lapping kit or did you buy your stuff from various places?

It's fairly easy to do the lapping if you follow the steps correctly. You can do a quick search for heatsink lapping and hopefully you will find the answers you need.

I didn't buy the lapping kit for myself but I know many others recommand EasyPC kits. If you can get "3M imperial wet/dry sandpapers" locally for a reasonalbe price, then just buy some locally.

For my Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme, the heatsink's base was severely convex, take my words very literally. Hence, took me 6hours to lap it. In such severe condition, start with 320grid then 400 - 600 - 800 - 1000. You can stop right here as going up any further will come to a point of no significant performance increase. but I still go from 1500 and then 2000.

I'll post more pics on the lapping process in the air cooled forum so you can the transforming of the copper base and the # of sheet(s) I've used to lap it.
