But 20+ C diff in temperatures is huge.
Funny thing, although the temps being reported by HWMonitor are high, the IFX is barely warm to the touch. Also am applying more pressure then the norm via the bracket, but still my temps are in the 60's on load.

Having trouble getting a stable overclock at high HTT frequencies. The usual culprits have been taken out of the equation, i.e. low NB/HT multis used.
The ram I have runs fine at 1066mhz, so I have been using the 800mhz bootstrap @ 267mhz which puts the ram at 1066mhz. Is there a reason why this setting would not run stable at a higher HTT frequency?
Saw that gotVolatge mentioned a while back, that when the HTT frequency increases that the PCI frequency increases, however I have it set to 100 in the bios, this should surely lock the PCI bus
Will try at some time to drop the ram ratio just to see if that is the reason for the problems I am facing
-- EDIT --
Ok, nothing to do with ram ratio, something doesnt like high HTT
