It's at least at 1.375 but might be one or 2 ticks higher - definitely under 1.4. Speed fan seems to be accurate since i have the temp alarm set to 60c and it goes off whenever speedfan indicates temp2 is above that

Temp2 is speedfans designation for readings from a particular sensor. It seems that it's using the sensor for the north bridge. I'm running the memory at a little under 1066 but I guess the increase in voltage is what's causing the problem - although I'm still a little unclear on the relationship between vcore and the NB. I've read some stuff about NB but it's still pretty fuzzy.

btw - using AS5 for the paste.

speedfan is not accurate for coretemp on a quad as far as I know unless the latest beta has resolved it. Up to now it works on a tjunction of 85c unless you calibrate it so it will be -15c out. Try this and post what the temps are http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php - install,run then minimise - it will post temps in top of screen. I run 3.6 with 1.4v real - idle 35c - load 62c using air cooling. I also stick a little 40mm fan on the NB from habit on the P5W - probably doesnt need it but every little helps-lol!
