PWM Temp is serious biz on this board. The stock "TIM" is horrible as well as the flatness of the PWM heatsink. 4 of 8 mosfets dont even come close to making contact. Lapped the heatsink, removed "TIM", applied thermal grease. Making contact with all 8 nicely now and PWM temps under load are now 42c. Also replaced the "TIM" from northbridge and removed the so called heatpipe linking the two. Dunno if that helped but couldnt hurt after seeing how poor the TIM was acting. 1.45v cpu reports 39 core1 42 core 2 which seems on par with past temps for this water setup as far as temp accuracy is concerned.
All settings that were not stable before are now rock solid after the fixes. Both boards I had this very poor heat transfer w/ mosfets and NB so beware.
307 x 10 = 27.4 super pi wooT!
