"402 XTREME" in action! Take One: Breaking 3GHz barrier!

I just can't imagine that there would be -24C on IHS and +5C on a DIE. It just looks way to much of a difference.

Actually... that isn't out of the realm of reality... with your Vcore and Mhz used I figure something on the order of a 0.21 C/W thermal impedance... considering that your measurement is on the corner of the IHS and not at the center, it is actually lower. That said, those IHSs and the paste between them and the die stink

What surprises me to a degree [ pun intended ] is the difference from the embedded probe ("evap") to the side of the block... I might suggest that you do two things... get yourself some copper tape to mount the probes with and put some very good paste on your probe to help get better contact.

I guess I need to take a closer look at Chilly1's blocks...

Peace

Ok, this is gonna be the last one, I promise I just thought that since I'm on it I will show you some more testing I've done tonight

I wanted to see, what difference is between temps shown in BIOS / Hardware Monitor in comparison to temps I got from all 3 probes. Sitting in BIOS gives CPU a little bit of excercise. Then I run same LOAD test in Windows, as I did last time: PRime95 SmallFFT.

1.This is what BIOS shows for temps.

2. Then we see temps from probes: TEMP1=CPU IHS TEMP and TEMP2 is BLOCK TEMP

3. The I switched probes to show evap temp: TEMP1=EVAP IHS TEMP and TEMP2 is BLOCK TEMP

4. This is sitting IDLE in Windows: TEMP1=EVAP IHS TEMP and TEMP2 is BLOCK TEMP

5. Again, with probes switched: TEMP1=CPU IHS TEMP and TEMP2 is BLOCK TEMP
