Why does there always seem to be this temp difference, and which temp should I primarily use as my gauge limit?

Thanks,

You are looking at Tcase. That's the temperature measured off of the IHS. It is not accurate at all for temp monitoring. You should only look at individual core temps and be guided by the highest core temperature. Use RealTemp 3.00 or newer or Core Temp to monitor the temperatures.

posershadow has passed the 222 Bclk so its not impossiable
First you need to have a good chip that will cooperate with a high BCLK. Next, you need to have a board that will cooperate as well as other PCIE devices that will not crap all over your machine when you OC their bus. Then finally you can try OCing the PCIE in order to create more BCLK headway. Not gonna be easy on the R2E though.
