Well
I worked a lot on my setup tonight
I removed the board from my case and removed the whole pipe system.
I put some artic silver 5 everywhere needed.
I remounted the pipe system and I'm sure it can't be more solid than now ... the contact is good it's impossible that it's not
now at 3.6GHZ 9 * 400 ... under load my temp are
PWM : 54
Chipset : 49
CPU : 53 47 47 54
before it was
PWM : 67
Chipset : 54
CPU 65 57 57 65
I need to say I also work on my Ultra 120 Extreme, it was a bit loose (I have a penny under it ... what I did is I added a second penny .. now it's seems to push more pressure on it and I have way better temp for my CPU)
so ... PWM and Chipset seems again hot but nothing I can do ... I mean I changed the thermal paste, I work on the screw so the contact are better, and I have a 25CM fan blowing on the mobo ...
I'm gonna try to put a small fan directly on the PWM (I already have the transpiper on it atm ..)
I won't try to OC more, 3.6 is fine for me anyway but will try to lower that PWM to something like 49-50 at least
I'll let you guys know
Any advice .. feel free to tell me !
