    Anyhow, if I could emphasize one thing it would be don't trust the results anymore than about 2 degrees. The ups and downs in the mounts is a good indication just how much error there is.

    75 mounts later was a painful lesson in reality that testing CPU blocks is really difficult to produce anything very conclusive using the processor DTS sensor.

    And yes, my processor was lapped, a differently shaped IHS very well could produce a different result. At the same token no two IHS are shaped the same so you could again get two different results from two stock IHS processor.

    It sucks, but it is what it is....not very precise.

    It was a good learning experience though, hope it helps some....
    Thanks!

    Within 1c is precise enough
    In a testing environment where there are so many different variables, you've done the best job that one can do.
    I think when I see your data and I see other people's data, I can then get a better idea of what is the best.

    excellent work.

    Btw, my gigabyte p35 held my x3210 up at 3500mhz at 1.53v for 6 months before it blew. It's probably the best cpu to judge the performance of these blocks, since they require so much voltage.
