Hey great results. I have a noob question.

I just got a w3520 (packed 1/10/10) with an Asus WS Revolution..flashed to bios 0507. I noticed soon as I booted up the rig and looking at real temps (v3.40) my idle temps at stock were in the high 30's. I'm on water and this seemed extremely odd to me (WC set up in sig) Vcore is at 0.9845v. Now for such a low voltage I was expecting to be in the teens to be honest. Funnier yet I tried a quick oc...4.2ghz...set vcore to auto just for sh*ts and giggles. Vcore in cpu-z read 1.4v..ok no biggie but my temps went up by like 3 degrees. Ran prime and temps were pushing past 70+. On my old 920 D0 I never broke 65c, but she was a volt whore.

Anyways my question is and im suspecting it maybe the case...could the sensors on my w3520 be fubar? Could the 0507 bios not be reading the sensors correctly? Are those temps normal for a w3520? I'm a crazy? Ok the last one is still up for debate lol. I'm was going to test out the chip on my back up Bloodrage board just to see if it gives me the same readings as the Revolution but wanted some feedback first if possible. Thanks.
