The setup is as the sig. Under stress tests like Toast, HotCPU Tester or CPU Stability Test, the chip idled at 34C and hanged at 42C. Opening the case, idle temp dropped to 28C but under stress tests it hanged at 36C! Apparently if watching TV (50% CPU load) it did not hang at 42C.
Another apparent evidence about its low temp tolerance is that if I don't use thermal paste it can't boot and return BSOD after entering Windows, even w/o case cover. (Can post).
And also if the FSB increase from 133 to 134 the idle temp increases by 2C!
I am thinking of putting in a TEC on hand (need to get a cold plate, a shim and foam though) and add 0.05V to Vcore...anything else I can do?
