They are high chipset temps, especially for water. Have you placed washers behind the NB mounting screws? I just did that and the extra mounting pressure helped reduce the temps a few degrees. The chipset cooling design of these boards really leaves a lot to be desired.

When you use CPU clock skew, did you also use NB clock skew in conjunction with it? I found setting them the same (eg 300ps on both the cpu & NB) can improve stability in Orthos, but not in Linpack.

@ Rocks - yes linpack gets the cpu the hottest, but remember normal usage load temps wont ever approach those temps.
Yeah I agree, so what is the point in having it max out temps like that? It could give invalid BSODs.

If my water cooler can reduce my temps by at least 10c I will be happy.
