here .. (on screenshot ) it stands up an crunching Prime
none of threads was not dropped -- though 2 cores are throttling - screen ->



at same time i was ''ir gunning'' THE FINS on TRUE and it show me 64 (+-) C ->


EDIT sorry as there was different sessions .. this image ( screen belongs to this Pic with IR GUN ""
( just for reason .. if follow the time stamp on images a screenshots )

crikey that is hot. How on earth did you get your QX9650 that hot at stock speed and volts?
Did you turn your fan off or something?
Anyway thanks, I feel a bit more comfortable with the 64C in coretemp now
