I checked the heatsink, reapplied thermal grease, and the temperatures didn't change. Flashed to 16.B03, and idle temps were ~30-33C. I left 16.B03 on so I could monitor temperatures more accurately (hopefully) while overclocking and stressing the CPU.
your ultima 90 is not hacking it...you really need a TRUE and then lap the surface to get the optimum idle and load temp...what thermal grease are you using?
