Don't worry about your temps. Mine are the same... 1.32v and 72C under Prime95 small FFT's. I remounted the HS 2 times and used a TRU before getting this Xigmatek. Same temps.

We just have hot running CPU's or the it's our DFI, altough i don't think so.

man your temps are still way better than mine are you were at 4300 with 72c correct.. im seeing that with only 4100 this chip is crazy hot. even at stock speeds im seeing near 60c+ w/ 100% cpu

yeah i mean i can do 1.26v STABLE orthos and prime both pass at 4.017 and its only maybe 3c cooler than this at 1.31v with 4.1 anything over that 4.017 and i need 1.28 then once i hit 4.1 i need 1.31 i have not tried 1.3 yet though.. i just think either sensor problem or its way to hot of a chip

for it to do 1.26 @ 4.0 seems like a pretty good chip to me minus the temps. tomm once orthos runs all night im gonna see what is needed for 4.2+ i was able to run 4.2 with only 1.32x v but didnt test it for stability but the temps didnt seem to go up at all with the extra voltage..

just sucks my last chip idled at 32c this one is like 43-44c at idle

ariciu you are doing 4500 @ 1.39 with the xigmatek??? and your temps are 72c?? im at 4100 with basically the same temps??
