Update CPU-Z I had an old version and it didn't detect my 165 correctly.

I think the Denmark is just the Toledo renamed for Opterons.

Well I went threw all the O/C'ing stuff I can boot into windows with 3 gig and run apps but p95 a no go errors out after a few passes....Im at 1.61 on the v core and my temps are awful 49-50 water cooled I dunno wth wrong there....so right now Im running at 2950mhz and stable w/1.42v at the core..... and 36-37 as I type Im still concerned about that temp though my system never ran that hot before even with the old t birds and their voltage....

I loaded Speedfan and the and the temp reads 28*idle 37* load on both cores more of what the 3700plus was... why would MBM5 show 45*idle and 54*load and Everest the same thing...Is there a sensor issue with the Dual cores??

My 165 was very concave you might want to check your IHS for flatness.

Lap the IHS or just pop it off since you have a Storm that could be anoption if you are brave. Given that it is a Storm it is more than likely flat.

I don't think he's having heat issues. Just that different programs are showing different temps. You could get Core Temp to show... the core temp , since that's the temp that matters. As long as thats below 57 I'd call it good.

I didn't see he was on water at time of posting. Core Temp has been proven to be the best way to measure A64 temps.

Core Temp is this another program because speed fan has a core temp in it....but even if 54-56 is acturate its doesnt make sense to me why they are so hi all of a sudden with a dual core on water.....I even reset the W/B twice I may just go for the removal of the spreader but with that added piece missing how do i make up the difference with the spacers and bracket thats used now with the Storm WB?

Just remove the spacers and the retention bracket all together and bolt it down without them. Personally I would get some shorter screws and get rid of the springs also so I can get percision pressure but this can be an easy way to crush your core so take that for what it is worth.

Stepping CCB1E 0609FPMW/FPAW is one of the top overclockers. Your IHS is probably off, or your heatsink could be. Try reseating it and see if that helps.
