i have already lapped both my CPU and HSF.

wondering if i have a lemon chip. these temps are based on 0406 bios.
oh btw, i dont have turbo function. i dont seem to be able to find it. the only time it shows up is when i set AI tuner to auto.
Let me say it this way.
Since you have a very expensive 975 cpu I'll assume you have a fair amount of discretionary income and thats good to know because you'll be replacing that cpu far before you plan to.
Bluntly: Anyone that runs at that high a temp is in my opinion OUT OF THIER FRIGGING MIND!
If you can't get it down to below 65C loaded then either upgrade your cooling or return the chip as defective.
