None of which were shown to be truly stable.

also if you would look at the chips of many people clocked here you would see that even at 3.7ghz it still stays pretty cool. look at all the screens charged and honda guy have posted. many people are reaching 3.5, 3.6ghz on stock volts too so it really isn't that power hungry. i have no clue where hwbox got all of their numbers from but the power consumption seems really far off compared to every other screen we have seen for phenom II so far.
Except we've never seen any other power consumption measurements for Phenom II so far. Given hwbox's results, it's far more likely that Phenom II temp sensors are inaccurate, or at best not directly comparable to Intel sensors readings.
