    Your Core temps are higher than your BIOS cpu temp!!!

    You're core must be at least 10C higher! You cant keep it on 4Ghz with temps like that.

    100C or 100F?
    100F = 38C.

    Yeah sam, 38C. BTW, that was with the core @ 1.6v, I've lowered it now.

    Hehe, you scare easily!
    As for the idle temperature, it's not bad at all, but when you up the voltage, idle temps don't change much, it's the load temps you have to be wary of.

    100C+ for core temps is a pretty scary thought lol. I would NEVER risk that.

    funky22: More punctuation next time please!
    The Maximus formula board does look pretty sweet. Unfortunately I don't personally know anyone who has one, only on the forum.
    Abuzar: 100C is the shutdown temperature for the cores anyway, if they exceed that the PC switches off.
