Compared to my best one, it runs 10-12 hotter with air-cooling (TRUE) on equal MHz. The only good thing about it is that it runs at even lower vcore than the others. On water it tops out about 4400-4450 for 8 hours prime.
Nice... I can only imagine if my w3520 would be a high vid CPU instead of ultra low vid like yours
Water temps for mine were at 34C tho, because I use 800rpm fans and have the mobo and 2 GTX 280's in the loop as well for that rig. Still nice to know it could nprobably do 4,4 at 1,3V IF the stupid board would work at 210 BCLK.

Sniper, can you please tell me what settings you used to get 210 BCLk to be LinX stable on this board? Heck even a boot would be nice.
