Hopefully you reach 4Ghz + on phase.

noticing the core temps are all exact, if you load up two cores do they change?
Unfortunately, no.... core temps are not reproted from the DTS on phenom, only from the analog package sensor, and it is not calibrated:

At least according to the core temp author:

AMD chips report the temperature by a special register in the CPU's NB. Core Temp reads that register and uses a formula provided by AMD to calculate the current temperature.
The formula for the K8 is: 'Core Temp = Value - 49'.
The formula for the K10* is: 'CPU Temp** = Value / 8'.

The sensor in AMD CPUs can report temperatures between -49C and 206C.

*K10 = Phenom (Agena), Opteron (Barcelona). The K10 reports a temperature value that is relative to a certain predefined value, it doesn't report the actual processor temperature! So take that into consideration.
**CPU Temp is because the Phenom\Opteron (K10) have only one sensor per package, meaning there is only one reading per processor.
To Tony ... kudos on the highest observed Phenom clock yet.
